ONE PATTERN is P-MODEL's seventh album; it's also the first one to have been originally been released on CD (although the Vinyl version was released 1 month before the CD one) and the last to be released in Vinyl (the CD releases also omitted the photograph and the Visual Staff credits from the back of the album and reused one photograph from the LP sleeve onto the track listing). This is the first (and only) album to feature Teruo Nakano and Yoshikazu Takahashi; before joining the band, Nakano was a P-MODEL roadie who had worked with P-MODEL leader Susumu Hirasawa as a member of Shun and would occasionally play bass on P-MODEL shows when former bassist Tadahiko Yokogawa would play violin. In this album, the band experimented with different, early digital sounds, with Hirasawa purposefully playing MIDI Guitar the wrong way, heavy usage of sampler-based drum machines and Takahashi operating a cassette deck to play chorus, besides playing keyboard (which was also played by Nakano), leading him to be credited as operating "Systems". The album was made with Hirasawa and the band's having his vision heavily interfered by various circumstances, and has since called this his least favorite P-MODEL album; Hirasawa has said that the album's title was given in desperation, and indicates how the band felt during its creation. Some of the songs have similar structures to those from MONSTER and Hirasawa's first 3 solo albums, Water in Time and Space, The Ghost in Science and Virtual Rabbit (Hirasawa even played some of the songs from this albums in his 1989 and 1990 shows), with mixing of different and experimental styles (although its songs all sound the same for the most part, this sound is similar to the one the band used on KARKADOR). The album's standard, mechanical production style is also similar to that of Hirasawa's first 3 solo albums. The album was remastered by Hirasawa and re-released on the Ashu-on [Sound Subspecies] in the solar system box set on 10 May 2002; it was put on CD 6, with various songs originally meant for inclusion on MONSTER and a different arrangement of KAMEARI POP (from IN A MODEL ROOM made for a 1987 gag show.
