Nosuke Mastering Supervided by Kageo & Pirako Calligraphy by Du Jun Photo & Designed by Ryan ( UFO Space / UFO CREAtions )	May 24, 2025. Recording of five songs from the live concert "UNDERGROUND SPIRIT 20 - Faraway Thunder" held in memory of the late Matt Zaun (December 13, 1975 - November 4, 2007). One of the memories of our US tour. Matt and the people of Minneapolis. And the thunder that reverberated in the distant sky at that time is in my heart. .................................................................................................................................................. Thanks Matt and his friends in Minneapolis. I performed with them in mind. And I'm happy that the performance is released. Shimura Koji That night in Minneapolis is one of my unforgettable memories from the US tour. I had never met Matt, but the session with his friends gave me a strange feeling of interacting with him even though he was not there. I remember feeling as if Matt was watching over us during the show that night, and being able to play comfortably without worrying about any troubles. Once again, I pray for Matt's eternal rest. Matsueda Hideo Flowers bloom, flowers fall. Waves rise, waves recede. The wind blows, the wind stills. Again and again, the cycle continues. My friend, perhaps we shall meet again beyond the wheel of time.

Suishou No Fune make a clear distinction between “UNDERGROUND SPIRIT” performance and Commercialistic music. About the subtitle Faraway Thunder. It is a feeling of nostalgia for our beloved Matt, who has passed away. I wanted to play music once again in memory of our friend Matt, who passed away more than 17 years ago. Suishou No Fune has played two memorial sessions with mutual American friends in Matt’s hometown of Minneapolis, in 2008 and 2012. And, this year, I felt a strong desire to play a memorial session in Tokyo with mutual Japanese friend in Japan. The subtitle “Faraway Thunder” means that thunder roars from faraway Minneapolis and rains in Tokyo. It is exactly connected to the content of the song “Your Tears”. TMODM: What were the recording sessions for this album like? Suishou No Fune: This is a live recording of Suishou No Fune held in Tokyo on May 24th, 2025. The live performance proceeded with improvisation interspersed with songs related to Matt, such as “Your Tears” and new songs from Suishou No Fune that he was looking forward to at the time. It was a mysteriously beautiful, chaotic moment, as if clouds and fog were forming, with the past and present intertwining. And we ended with a new song, “In a Dream” which encompasses the past, present, and future. TMODM: What record(s) changed your lives? Suishou No Fune: ・Bob Marley & The Wailers: All albums up to Uprising ・Joy Division : All albums Note: You may think that Suishou No Fune’s music is completely different, but I felt a strong sense word spirit (Kotodama) in their music and was deeply impressed. We believe in word spirit (Kotodama) , and are walking our own unique path of sound creation that originated from improvisation. TMODM: What’s next for you? Suishou No Fune: We are working on a reissue CD of “The Lost Trees of Paradise,” released on December 12, 2019. 献给马特和明尼阿波利斯的伙伴们。 志村 浩二 明尼阿波利斯的那一夜，是美国巡演中难以忘怀的回忆之一。 虽然从未与马特见过面，但与马特朋友的即兴演奏，让我产生了一种与不在场的他交流的奇妙感觉。 那晚的演出，我总觉得马特在旁守护着我们，即使遇到突发状况，也能轻松自如地演奏，这段经历至今仍记忆犹新。 再次为马特的安息祈祷。 松枝秀生 花开花落。 浪起浪落。 风起风止。 只是不断重复。 朋友啊，或许在时间的轮回彼端，我们还能再次相遇。 影男 凋零而去，生命萌芽，邂逅。 红 ぴらこ
