「知らない氷の国に迷い込んだような、それがとても心地よく、
いつまでも抜け出せない事を願ってしまいそうなそんな音の世界。
冷たくて優しいATEETAさんの声が、どこまでも遠くへ連れてってくれます」
新居昭乃
「とても素敵なアルバムです。
まさかコクトーツインズのカヴァーをやってしまうなんて！！
ATEETAさんの表現力によってこそ、できることですよね。
ストイックに構築されたヴォイシングと素晴らしい歌声。見事です」

[size=4pt]☆以下为本人针对该专辑不着边际的介绍文字&八卦若干，主保刈，HC有
[size=4pt][size=10.5pt]○Lyric & Download请多往下多拉些
这张专辑一言概之就是北欧风，专辑名「lat.55°N」就取自「北纬55度」的意思，主要指那个纬度上的北欧地带。这张专辑在原创基础上收录了ATEETA本人喜欢的三首作品的翻唱，分别是：4AD的著名乐队Cocteau Twins收录在专辑「FOUR-CALENDER CAFE」（1993年）里的“Pur”、Rick Springfield的“Life In A Northern Town”、瑞典女歌手Stina Nordenstam收录在专辑「Memories of a Color」里的“Soon After Christmas”。（第一首和第三首的原曲很喜欢，第二首没听过- -||） 我是完全冲着保刈久明去买的这张CD，当然ATEETA的北欧风也很美。第一次听到ATEETA的歌是在和ZABADAK多有合作关系的CARAMELBOX剧团出的OST上，当时试听的感想是此男嗓音很中性兼华丽，鉴定为英伦风，还没听出此人的北欧倾向。 保刈在这张专辑中负责的部分主要有第一首歌的编曲、几乎全部的吉它担当和全部songs的电子音乐programing。他负责编曲的那首歌恰好是ATEETA翻唱的Cocteau Twins的歌，真是令我激动啊——因为本人对Cocteau Twins的喜爱几乎全源于他们的编曲（蹲出去抹把泪= =+）。 最令我感动的部分当然是这张专辑能够很好地听到保刈的吉它：保刈当年怎么说也是连大学考试都带着吉它前去的那种rock系少年啊，虽然98年之后由于健康、个人心情等各种无聊原因（= =+）就扔掉了吉它，跟了新居之后更是难得在她的专辑中听到几次保刈的吉它演奏——结果在这张里不仅有原声吉它、电吉它甚至多重吉它复叠演奏，啊我是听得多么地感动啊！泪~~果然ROCK友之魂是要碰到年轻时的队友才会爆发的（*详见下面八卦1） 2CH的ZABADAK相关板上有过讨论，和吉良的吉它风格是民族系，保刈的吉它风格是欧美系的，当年KARAK刚出道时候有杂志评论说是Durutti Column的透明系风味吉它。“Engagement Hill”、“Sincerely Yours”、"Calm"数曲里多少能听到保刈那久违了的爽利的电吉它声。下面是八卦时间：八卦1：ATEETA同保刈曾是BAND友
保刈十多年前曾是ATEETA在日本同一所音乐学院的同个乐队里的学长，但是ATEETA出国留学（"The Liverpool Institute for Performing Art(LIPA)"就读）之后一直断了联系直到制作这张专辑的时候才再见面，结果再见面的时候保刈已经忘了当年组乐队的事情了（汗）。 虽然得知保刈近年一直以制作人身份进行音乐活动，但是由于对很多年以前观看他现场演出时吉它响彻的印象仍很鲜明，因为这个原因ATEETA邀请保刈来担任吉它演奏。 ATEETA在中央控制台和保刈隔着玻璃用talkback互相确定音响，结果保刈弹木吉它录音的时候，ATEETA隔着玻璃将自己十几岁时候看过的、舞台上弹着吉它的保刈当时给予他独特一击的身姿和现在的样子重合在一起，而泪流满面了。（= =+我是不是翻得太KUSO了，其实只是热泪盈眶而已……）八卦2：BASS其实是保刈粉丝
BASS的吉田自称是保刈的BIG FAN，结果在录音棚一起录制的时候要求握手，结果保刈很不好意思说着「ぃやー僕なんか…有難うございますまいったな」两个人互相鞠躬= =+ ATEETA觉得这个场面很囧所以就没有拍摄照片出来。（以上八卦全部来自ATEETA曾经的recording日记）八卦3：另外一名加入的原声吉它的演奏者清水一雄也是同为CARAMELBOX剧团提供sound track的音乐家============================
全碟歌词（对照歌词本手打版= =+）
============================
enjoy with fun but ZTin' is not allowed01. Pur*no lyrics had been mentioned
from the original conception.
02. Naked Pearl (new mastering)reaching my hands toward farer
up sky between its shining stars
lets me listening to the voices
you said hours ago always i miss you
i say some melody for you
to step ahead on for new days
dreams you have is the place i'll be
wishing “may the brighten’ days be with you”
fly up farer your painfully pearl
cry and colour your naked pearl
reaching your hands with all you have
although you’ll be nothing anyhow
right before you into dreamin’
you see really what say “I love you”
fly up farer your painfully pearl
cry and colour your naked pearl
right before you into dreamin’
you see really what say “I love you”
03. Engagement Hillsleep peaceful soon its day
you know with youth your dreams
need to float free
my mind was wide open blue
for any birds to pass through
dreams cease my younger days
so innocent that they truth could happen yet
don't wait cos with your life they too will go
it leave you fast
an easy breath one morning
i want those young clouds
floating past my head
drifiting pass so low
they could carry me with them
do you want to dream too
just let the child inside you
youth has a secret
we must not forget
though when we've young
we feel we've not lived yet
the world can age you too soom
but i try not to forget
i saw a dram when i was yound
if time has hardened you
don't worry because your dreams are innocent
04. Promise116whispering i say i will have been alone
although Santa Claus kisses me
sensations and illusions spill out from promises
that had made and broken yet thousand times
i feel that makes me tears as i painfully see u
happiness and sadness won't be longer than moment
i hold u and i losing u
searchin' every inches of ya shins
if there's the force to reach u
may it someday be with me
hopelessly u say to understand
that u would belong to place you'd been
confusions that based on its innocence
as a bit reflection for the tears of mine
smilin' u are benief my wings
and let me stand up from there
lookin' as far as i can see
wingin' its way together
toll i catch the brightness with u
wipin' tears across the sleeve
smilin' u are benief my wings
and let me stand up from there
lookin' as far as i can see
wipin' tears across the sleeve
05. The Catcher in the Skyriding among the path
coming toward the chatting wave
it woud be endingless party
as ever we've goin'
if few of us might have known
what's the taste of the pain
someone somehow let me know how it was
i wonder pages turn
without any notice them faces up
but nothing ever happen enough
still i'm waitin' for you
the passengers of the time suceeding on our rack
anytime everytime wind blows
white, blue, orange, and you twisted
up side down? where you know i am?
catch me in the sky if you can
show me whatever you see
the owner of the air is me and you
i wonder your kiss drifting ahead
on unison, an curtin ray,
they know no rule's for the end
ideal for run and not unknow ford
she is more known and is gotton around yours
06. Life in a northern town a Salvation Army band played
and the children drank lemonade
and the morning lasted all day,
all day
and through an open window came
like Sinatra in a younger day,
pushing the town away
ah hey ma ma ma
life in a northern town.
they sat on the stoney ground
and he took a cigarette out
and everyone else came down
to listen.
he said "In winter 1963
it felt like the world would freeze
with John F. Kennedy
and the Beatles."
ah hey ma ma ma
life in a northern town.
ah hey ma ma ma
all the work shut down.
the evening had turned to rain
watch the water roll down the drain,
as we followed him down
to the station
and though he never would wave goodbye,
you could see it written in his eyes
as the train rolled out of sight
bye-bye.
ah hey ma ma ma
life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
life in a northern town.
07. Sincerly Yoursand when i feel almost cry all the time
i ask myself through the words i've carrird for
no one execpt me knows its secret words
keeps up to the another hands that could hold me
somehow far away may be in heaven
anytime its covered hands caress my hair with saying the stories
somewhat i've survived while you've been blessing
anywhere i feel that you're the one who stands a step ahead
dady let me know
dady let me smile
as many cheers had taken with times and places
i only was watching a space in which i can live
somewhere not so far might be in heaven
anyone's not enough to fill my deep satisfactions
sometimes i'm facing still recontradictions
anywise it's never reached to the floating reasons to see why
dady let me know
dady let me smile
dady let me talk
dady let me go
dady let me know
dady let me smile
dady let me talk
dady let me go
08. Calm (new mix)*would overing dusk
might realise the pain
it colours your innocent eyes
could possibly dawn
may not line the stream
it gathers your each memories
mentalism and materialism which's dual conflicions
can not take their meaning anymore
in the moment lovers take each one's hands
may you always possess them
may they alwats possess you
may you always possess them
may they all
always possess you
would overing dush
might realise the pain
it colours your innocent eyes
could possibly dawn
may not line the stream
it gathers your each memories
would overing dusk
might realise the pain
it colours your innocent eyes
could possibly dawn
may not line the stream
it gathers your each memories
would overing dusk
might realise the pain
it colours your innocent eyes
09. Soon after Christmasi've called you now a thousand times
i think i know now
you're not home
i've said your name a thousand times
to be prepared if you'd be there
i wanted so to have you
and i wanted you to know
i wanted to write songs
about how we're walking in the snow
you've got me slightly disappointed
just a bit and just enough
to keep me up another night
waiting for another day
the city's taking a day off
the streets are empty
no one's out tonight
my life is in another's hands
a wanted so to have you
and i wanted you to know
i wanted to write songs
about how we're walking in the snow
but there's no snow this winter
there's no words for what i feel for you
it's not enough
though it's too much
why must it always be like that?
the TV screen is lighting up my room
the film has ended
every inch of my skin is crying for your hands
and i wanted so to have you
and i wanted you to know
i wanted to write songs
about how we are walking in the snow
you've got me slightly disappointed
just a bit and just enough
to keep me up another night
waiting for another day
