  • Mummer is the sixth studio album by the English rock band XTC, released on 30 August 1983 on Virgin Records. It was the first XTC album to be recorded following the band's retirement from live performance in 1982. The album's title and artwork refers to a Mummers' play, in which the identity of the players is hidden. A working title considered for the album was Fruits Fallen From God's Garden. Frontman Andy Partridge, who at the time was recovering from a nervous breakdown, embraced the idea of the band becoming a purely studio-based act, enabling them to continue in the less rock-orientated style of their previous album English Settlement. This resulted in a new burst of productivity, though drummer Terry Chambers, who preferred performing live, struggled to adapt to the group's new direction and quit after recording only two tracks and a B-side, with Pete Phipps replacing him for the remaining sessions. Virgin Records were concerned by the album's lack of potential singles, and urged the band to rework the material several times, which delayed its release by several months. They also objected to the original artwork, which depicted the band in disguise as mummers. Mummer eventually appeared in August 1983, reaching No. 51 on the UK album chart and No. 145 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. It spawned three UK singles: "Great Fire", "Wonderland" and "Love on a Farmboy's Wages", the latter of which reached No. 50 on the UK singles chart. (en)

  • 『ママー』 (原題: Mummer)は、1983年にヴァージン・レーベルからリリースされた、XTCの6枚目のアルバム。レコーディングは1982年9月から12月にかけて、オックスフォードにあるマナー・スタジオ (The Manor Studio)とバークシャーにあるジェネティック・スタジオ (Genetic Studios)で行われた。 レコード会社から以前のように売れる曲を要求されており、上層部には「グレイト・ファイア」を気に入られたが、前作までの評価から一転して、評論家たちから低評価を受けている。ママーとは、イギリス西部地方の芝居の伝統的な役者の意味。 本作のセッション中にテリー・チェンバーズが脱退している。 (ja)
