オリジナル・フル・アルバムとしては約2年半ぶりの新作! 入魂の2枚組となっており、Disc-1はトレードマークである超絶エディット/カットアップも冴える捩れたエレクトロニック・プロダクションとサイケ感が躍動し、これまでのPrefuse73作品の感覚を呼び覚ますであろう内容。Disc-2はDisc-1の抜粋トラックをスコア化したノンビートのオーケストラ・ヴァージョンを収録!まさしく集大成ともいえる豪華2枚組! アートワークはKim Hiorthoy(Smalltown Supersound)!

On his fourth full-length release, PREPARATIONS, Glitch-hop king Guillermo Scott Herren, better known as Prefuse 73, shows that emigrating to Barcelona has not dissociated him from his fountain of sonic inspiration. The former Atlanta, Georgia, phenom continues to blaze a trail for Prefuse that stands distinct from his other projects (Savath & Savalas, Delarosa & Asora, etc.). With contributions from Tobias Lilja, Battles drummer John Stanier, and Secret Machines offshoot School of Seven Bells, Herren crafts a multi-hued, constantly shifting prism of electronic sound that's always propulsive and visceral, but frequently gorgeous in its juxtaposition of atmosphere and angularity.
Note: The album was released both on its own and with a bonus disc, as PREPARATIONS & INTERREGNUMS.|
