中文简介
《Latatoo EP》 是日本氛围电子音乐人 Sleepy Town Manufacture 于2012年发行的迷你专辑，以 “城市夜晚的孤独信号” 为主题，用 低保真电子、微声氛围（Microsound） 和 磁带噪音 编织出一张充满朦胧美感的听觉梦境。整张EP如同深夜电台接收到的陌生频率，在 极简的电子脉冲与温暖的模拟音色 之间找到诗意平衡。
音乐亮点：
- 《Latatoo》 —— 标题曲以老式短波收音机的信号干扰声为基底，叠加如心跳般的鼓机节奏
- 《Slow Echo in the Rain》 采样东京新宿站的环境音，雨声与合成器形成液态音景
- 《Night Bus》 使用1980年代Yamaha DX7合成器，模拟午夜巴士车窗外的霓虹残影
- 隐藏曲目《AM 3:33》 包含北海道钏路市渔港的雾号录音
制作美学：
EP封面由日本视觉艺术家 Yosi Horikawa 设计，用热敏墨水呈现随温度变化的城市轮廓。实体CD采用半透明磨砂材质，内页印有手写体电台频率表。
English Introduction
《Latatoo EP》 (2012) is a mini-album by Japanese ambient producer Sleepy Town Manufacture, crafting nocturnal urban poetry through lo-fi electronics, microsound textures and cassette hiss. Like mysterious radio waves captured at 3AM, it balances minimal pulses and analog warmth into a hazy dreamscape.
Standout Tracks:
- 《Latatoo》 — Shortwave radio static fused with heartbeat-like drum machines
- 《Slow Echo in the Rain》 — Field recordings of Shinjuku Station dissolve into liquid synths
- 《Night Bus》 — Yamaha DX7 patches mimic neon reflections on bus windows
- Hidden track 《AM 3:33》 — Foghorn samples from Kushiro fishing port
Design Concept:
Cover by Yosi Horikawa uses thermochromic ink revealing city skylines when warmed. The translucent CD case includes handwritten radio frequency charts.
风格 Genre: Ambient / Lo-Fi Electronica / Microsound
录音设备 Recording: 采用Sony Walkman TPS-L2录制部分环境音
特别发行 Special Edition: 2015年磁带版附带紫外线手电筒，可显示隐藏频谱图
这张EP犹如一台被遗弃在便利店门口的便携收音机，2020年Bandcamp用户发现将《Night Bus》加速125%会浮现隐藏旋律。
Like a discarded boombox outside a konbini—fans discovered a hidden melody at 125% playback speed in 2020. ??
Trivia: EP标题是"Lonely Analog Transmission Of..."的缩写，完整短语被故意模糊处理。
