''Wah Wah'', the sixth full-length release by the Manchester indie rock group James, was produced by Brian Eno and Markus Dravs during the same six-week session as ''Laid''. Although the group had always been keen on improvisation, both as their principal songwriting method and onstage, this was their first (and, thus far, only) album to be composed entirely of such material. It was Eno's idea that the group's improvisations should be recorded, having told them that he regarded this music as having equal importance to the finished songs birthed from it. However, the group told Stuart Maconie (for their authorised biography ''Folklore'') that the album caused disagreements, particularly over Tim Booth's wish to redo some vocals and over how to deal with the finished record - originally planned as a giveaway with early copies of ''Laid'', it was eventually issued as a limited edition several months later. One track, ''Jam-J'' was chosen as a single, and released as a double-A side, along with "Say Something" from the album ''Laid''. The track "Tomorrow" was later re-recorded from scratch and placed on the band's next release, the album ''Whiplash'' as well as being culled as the second single from that record. The album cover states that the album is by James but a sticker on the cover reads "James / Eno". ==Track listing== # "Hammer Strings" # "Pressure's On" # "Jam J" # "Frequency Dip" # "Lay the Law Down" # "Burn the Cat" # "Maria" # "Low Clouds (1)" # "Building a Fire" # "Gospel Oak" # "DVV" # "Say Say Something" # "Rhythmic Dreams" # "Dead Man" # "Rain Whistling" # "Basic Brian" # "Low Clouds (2)" # "Bottom of the Well" # "Honest Joe" # "Arabic Agony" # "Tomorrow" # "Laughter" # "Sayonara" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wah Wah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
