Description

[Machine Translation] Imogen Heap's first new album in five years, her 2007 debut solo album "Speak For Yourself" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best New Artist and garnered her international attention in the UK, where her unique floating worldview has been compared to Bjork, Kate Bush, and Alanis Morissette. Imogen Heap's unique fusion of computer music and acoustic sounds, and her drifting voice, have made her one of the few female artists to have captivated the world. This long-awaited new album is released five years after her last album "Ellipse" (2009). The album took about three years to make, and from the beginning of production in 2011, as songs were created, they were released with titles yet to be determined, and the album was shared as it gradually took shape. The song "Lifeline" was the first song to be released in March 2011, and although it was untitled at the time, it was sung as a tribute to the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake in Japan. The album also includes "Telemiscommunications," which was performed with Deadmau5 in 2012.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

スパークス [輸入盤] / イモージェン・ヒープ

イモージェン・ヒープ、5年振りのニュー・アルバム。2007年のソロ・デビュー・アルバム『Speak For Yourself』でグラミー賞新人賞にノミネート、UKから一躍世界で注目を集め、浮遊するような独自の世界観はビョーク、ケイト・ブッシュ、アラニス・モリセット等にも比肩するほど・・・イモージェン・ヒープはコンピュータ・ミュージックとアコースティック・サウンドの独特な融合、漂うような歌声で寡作ながらも世界を魅了してきた女性アーティストの一人だ。今作は前作『Ellipse』(2009年)から5年を経てリリースされる、待望のニュー・アルバム。アルバム制作はおよそ3年をかけて行われ、2011年の制作開始当初から、曲ができるとタイトル未定の状態で公開していき、徐々にアルバムが形作られていく様子をシェアしていった。収録曲「Lifeline」は、2011年3月に収録曲中最も早く公開された曲で、当時はタイトル未定であったものの、日本の東日本大震災で犠牲となった人々へのトリビュートとして歌われた逸話も残っている。また2012年にデッドマウスと共演した「Telemiscommunications」も収録されている。
