The band's ensemble, backed by diverse elements of Minimal, Electronica, Krautrock, etc. and solid performance ability, has already gained high reputation in various fields at live performances. The theme of this de facto debut album is from morning to night, spring to winter, life and death, artificiality and inaction, artificiality and nature, and so on, from the subtle events hidden in daily life to all things in the forest. The songs are created from field recordings from around the world brought by each member of the band, and the conceptual production style of the band creates new soundscapes colored with a unique psychedelic quality. The band's debut album is a masterpiece, clearly distinct from existing instrumental/post-rock bands, and is a three-dimensional and detailed tapestry of sound with an extremely high affinity for visuals. The most appropriate way to describe it would be to say. "The artwork for this album was created by the talented manga artist and filmmaker Tanakatsuki, with whom the band members were eager to collaborate! The "virtual drug ALTOVISION" released in 2008 was the basis for the concept of L.E.D.'s current work.

『現実に潜む非現実を絶妙なる平熱感覚で切り取った"無限性の美"』 自主制作限定mini album 『LightEmittingDiode』以来、実に8年ぶりの音源にして初のフルアルバム!!既に様々なフィールドでキャリアを有するメンバーから成る7人組。Jazz,House,Ambient,Minimal,Electronica,Krautrockなどの多様な要素と確かな演奏力に裏打ちされたバンドアンサンブルはライブにおいて既に各方面で高い評価を得ている。事実上のデビュー作になる今作品のテーマは朝から夜、春から冬、生と死、人為と無為、人工と自然といった日常に潜む微細な事象から森羅万象にまで及び、それらの持つ無限性と美を独特な平熱感ともいうべき視点で切り取り、再構築した作品と言える。そしてそれらの楽曲はメンバーそれぞれが持ち寄った世界各国のフィールドレコーディング素材から曲を組み立てるというコンセプチュアルな制作スタイルのもと、独自のサイケネスに彩られた新たなサウンドスケープを紡ぎだしている。既存のインスト/ポストロック勢とは明らかに一線を画し、極めて映像親和性の高いその立体的かつ緻密な音のタペストリーを前にデビュー作にして傑作誕生!!といえば、それが最もふさわしい言葉であろう。 "今作のアートワークはメンバーがコラボを熱望したマンガ家であり映像作家でもある異才、タナカカツキが担当!!"2008年に発表した『virtual drug ALTOVISION』はL.E.D.の今作のコンセプトの土台にもなった映像作品である。 【MEMBER】佐藤元彦 Bass (JacksonVibe) 加藤雄一郎 Saxophone (Natsumen、Calm、etc) オータコージ Drums (曽我部恵一BAND、The sun calls stars) UMEZY Guitar (U-tom、etc) 横山裕章 Keybord (曽我部恵一ランデブーバンド、Innervisions)塩川剛志 Guitar (Balloons) KAKUEI percussion (Overground Acoustic Underground)
