It's a mystery what sparks encounters to weave into long-term connections, as if something is discovered without us even knowing. SKITKLASS was one of those enigmas, you knew them before you knew they were there. By the time word was beginning to spread about a masked band, SKITKLASS was releasing tapes and 7" in rapid succession. Looking back, it's a blur how or when the scene became acquainted with the band's presence. In all this mystery then, their early works were eventually auctioned at outrageous prices.

The band keeps their identity concealed and hidden, but out of curiosity, I managed to contact them through TWITTER. Contrary to my expectations, I received a very positive response. What started off as just a back-and-forth of sentences built into a mutual understanding of wanting to bring SKITKLASS's music into the world at a reasonable price. It's funny to think that our exchanges all took place on TWITTER, but I could truly feel how serious they were toward music. Later along the way they sent me the album artwork, "I'M WATCHING YOU IN THE CAGE" written inside. I felt goosebumps when I realized that line was also directed at me releasing their work. They have that special flavor iconic bands of the 70's and 80's gave off, "that" flavor. It's not easy to find a band that can pull "that" off. Even if their recordings are digitalized, I trust that nothing in their music will go bland when published on the web.
"A minute is enough for a revolution to rise."

気付いたらそこにあった、そこにいた。長く関係の続く事柄や対人の始まりは大抵そんなものではないだろうか。SKITKLASSはちょうどそんな感じだった。素性を隠した覆面バンドがなんだか話題になってるなと思っている内に、矢継ぎ早にテープや7インチをリリース。いつしかこの業界にいる皆がその存在を認識するようになった。しかしその始まりを知る人間はほぼ皆無だと思う。そしてその神秘性も相まってか、作品全てが法外な値段でオークションに掛けられた。
そんな中、興味本位で唯一彼らと交信が可能なTWITTERでコンタクトしてみた。予想に反してレスポンスは非常に良い。平坦な文章ではあるがやり取りを重ねる内に疎通が取れ、彼らの作った音楽を適正な値段で世に届ける為に協力する事になった。まさかやり取りを最後までTWITTERのメッセージで行う事になるとは思ってはいなかったが、彼らの本気を理解する一側面となった。その道程で送られてきたジャケットデザイン。そこに表記された「I'M WATCHING YOU IN THE CAGE」の一文は作品をリリースする私自身にも向けられたコメントだと気付いて鳥肌が立った。このセンスってなかなか出せるもんじゃない。70年代、80年代のアイコンとなったバンドのみが放つ事が出来た"あの"感じだ。そしてアナログレコードではなく、データ化がされても、彼らの音楽は色褪せる事は無いと確信した上でこの作品をweb公開する。
