ミュージカル パ一スペクティブ (Myūjikaru pāsupekutibu), (Musical Perspectives) (known asSYR5) is a studio album byKim Gordon,DJ Olive andIkue Mori. It was released on August 29, 2000, by record labelSYR, and was the fifth entry in the SYR series, despite not featuringSonic Youth as a whole.
Following the tradition of having the liner notes of SYR releases written in foreign languages, the notes forSYR5 were written inJapanese. The Japanese title means "Musical Perspectives", a name that also appears in different languages on other SYR releases.
It was recorded at Tribeca Recording Center, which is Gordon's preferred name for Sonic Youth's Echo Canyon studios.
AllMusic described the music as "ultra-abstract and mood-driven, filling the listening space with a dark ambience constructed by Olive's incredibly resonant choice of samples and Mori's carefully tweaked bleeps."[1]

| AllMusic |   [1] |
| Pitchfork | 3.2/10[2] |
AllMusic noted that while the lyrics "dance the line between abstract poetry and frustrating downtown pretentiousness", this is made up for by "the utterly weird and compelling soundscapes the group creates – a true headphone head trip."[1]Pitchfork panned the album, giving it a grade of 3.2/10 and commenting, "This record leaves me sad and blank."[2]
