“这张专辑里的歌,大部份写于07至09年。那期间我从北京永安里搬家到了东直门。2010年9月,为了可以更踏实的录音,我又从东直门搬到了这张专辑的录音棚所在地,北京青年路。 2011年4月26日,这张专辑结束前期录音。秋天万晓利又为这张专辑工作了近五十天,结束它的后期混音。 五年过去了,我也从北京搬到了南方。时过境迁,当我听着这些歌的时候,我明白了它的意义:它记录了我生命中的一部份。 坎坷的乐手转型之路上,我迈出了个人的一小步。如今我迫不及待地想拿出这张专辑,因为这样我才能和它告别。下一步,山长水远。” ——张玮玮

Nirvana genre: Rock
release date 1991-09-24 publisher: Geffen Records
Nevermind is the second studio album and major-label debut by American rock band Nirvana, released on September 24, 1991 by DGC Records. It was Nirvana's first release to feature drummer Dave Grohl. Produced by Butch Vig, Nevermind features a more polished, radio-friendly sound than the band's prior work. It was recorded at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California, and Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, in May and June 1991, and mastered that August at the Mastering Lab in Hollywood, California. Written primarily by frontman Kurt Cobain, Nevermind is noted for channeling a range of emotions, being noted as dark, humorous, and disturbing. Its themes include alienation, frustration, anti-establishment and anti-sexist views, and troubled love inspired by Cobain's broken relationship with Bikini Kill's Tobi Vail. Contrary to the hedonistic themes popular in rock music at the time, writers have observed that Nevermind promoted the image of the sensitive artist in mainstream rock. According to Cobain, the sound of the album was influenced by bands such as Pixies, R.E.M., the Smithereens, and Melvins. Though the album is considered a cornerstone of the grunge genre, it is noted for its musical diversity, which includes acoustic ballads ("Polly" and "Something in the Way") and punk-influenced hard rock ("Territorial Pissings" and "Stay Away"). Nevermind became an unexpected critical and commercial success, reaching the top 10 on charts across the world. On January 11, 1992, it replaced Michael Jackson's Dangerous at the number one spot of the US Billboard 200 and was selling approximately 300,000 copies a week. The lead single, "Smells Like Teen Spirit", reached the Top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100 and went on to be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Its music video was also heavily rotated on MTV. Three other successful singles were released: "Come as You Are", "Lithium", and "In Bloom". The album was voted the best album of the year in Pazz & Jop critics' poll, while "Smells Like Teen Spirit" also topped the single-of-the-year and video-of-the-year polls. The album also garnered the band three Grammy Award nominations in total across the 34th and 35th Grammy Awards, including Best Alternative Music Album. Nevermind propelled Nirvana into worldwide superstardom, with Cobain being dubbed the "voice of his generation". It brought grunge and alternative rock to a mainstream audience while accelerating the decline of hair metal, drawing similarities to the early 1960s British Invasion of American popular music. It is also often credited with initiating a resurgence of interest in punk culture among teenagers and young adults of Generation X. It has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. In 2024, it was certified 13× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Among the most acclaimed and influential albums in the history of music, Nevermind was added by the Library of Congress to the National Recording Registry in 2004 for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant", and is frequently ranked highly on lists of the greatest albums of all time, including being ranked number six on Rolling Stone's 2020 and 2023 lists of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". The album has since been reissued with alternate takes and live performances.

The xx genre: Electronic
release date 2017-01-13 publisher: Young Turks
★水星音乐奖得主暌违五年第三张专辑 ★荒芜中执拗燃烧的浪漫 ★都会喧嚣间最亲密的孤寂 来自伦敦的青年乐队The xx,2009年首张专辑《xx》以初生之犊的姿态,拿下欧洲指标性水星音乐奖,随后几年间,他们纵横各大音乐祭与颁奖典礼,第二张专辑《Coexist》挤下The Script、Bob Dylan、Pet Shop Boys空降英国流行专辑榜冠军,此等天之骄子般的惊人声势,以及身处譁众取宠的当代音乐潮流中,The xx徘徊午夜的极间低迴旋律铺陈起的黑灰色阶,似乎显得格格不入,然而吸纳著Siouxsie and the Banshees、The Cure、New Order、Cocteau Twins以至Aaliyah音乐养分而来的浪漫声响,却敲醒了层层冰雪底层的炙热,写尽了这时代人们藏得最深的孤寂。 2014年乐队灵魂人物Jamie xx首张创作专辑《In Colour》,在The xx失去时空标记的未来场域,投入大量多元声响取洋的缤纷色泽,让人预见了The xx的可能性,亦塑造出暌违五年新专辑《I See You》首支单曲〈On Hold〉的蜕变,与Hall & Oates 1981年冠军曲〈I Can’t Go For That〉交会之际一脚踩进舞池,让好似被时间消磨了的遗憾,不再那麽难以承受,冬阳洒落的和煦蔓延至〈I Dare You〉与〈Say Something Loving〉,依旧浪漫得执拗。 开场曲〈Dangerous〉强悍bassline与管乐驱策下,扬起了The xx至今最果抉、激昂的一回;〈Lips〉取洋自葛莱美提名挪威人声乐队Trio Mediæval的脱俗吟唱乘著Tribal Beat悠缓跃动的宜人风景,以及〈Performance〉凄薄弦乐于一片荒芜中拉扯出的张力,格外令人惊豔;即便〈A Violent Noise〉和〈Brave For You〉回到那个被喧嚣遗忘的街角,遇到我们熟悉的The xx,冰冷得暴戾的梦,也相对辽阔轻盈,美得令人屏息。 末曲〈Test Me〉绝望的最后恳求,在一片极间冰凝的苍白电气中持续坠落,一段Alessi Brothers〈Do You Feel It?〉的琴音乍现,对映著取洋了同一首歌的〈Say Something Loving〉,麻木了心,模糊了时空,即使在阳光洒落的地方,The xx依旧以近乎任性的执著,耽溺于怀疑与悔恨的结,最亲密的疏离,最炙热的冷冽,让人倚著冰牆试图取暖,距离心一步的位置,目光犹疑试探,却怎麽也踩不进去的怅然。

Paul Kalkbrenner / Original Soundtrack
release date 2008-10-02 publisher: Bpitch Control
转载自: Paul Kalkbrenner 来自德国柏林,投入电音前是一位小号乐手 (1985 - 1990), 1992 - 93 年他开始在东柏林的 clubs 当 DJ 播放音乐, 1996 年买了第一台写歌的器材设备,并开始投入创作之路.3 年后耕耘收成,他写出一些歌曲, 2000 年在 Bpitch Control 这个德国电音厂牌发行个人首张专辑 Superimpose ,并与其他 Bpitch Control 旗下的 artists 一起在德国展开巡迴表演.无独有偶,他陆续在 Bpitch Control 发行了许多单曲, 2004 年发行个人第 3 张专辑 Self ,而我新买的单曲 Press On 就是专辑 Self 里第一首主打歌.多才多艺的 Paul Kalkbrenner,在 Bpitch Control 团队里还负责音乐 video 的工作,想当然尔这张 ep 当然也由自己一手包办. Paul Kalkbrenner 的作品杰出在其歌曲架构,编排与旋律,在一篇专访文章里, Paul Kalkbrenner 表示他喜欢早期 trance 的旋律 (如早期的 Platipus, A13, Dragonfly, T.I.P. 等),且他不排拒把这些早期 trance 旋律融入新创作里,对於一般创作者而言这是相当不寻常,却很难能可贵的.作品中也不难发现他时常将 2 个简单的和弦搭在一起,然后跨越整首歌曲 -- Brennt 这张 ep 就是一例.这么独特又不落俗套的 groovy,令人讚赏.

这张打着面向国际旗号的原创国语专辑《浮躁》与以往王菲专辑庞杂的幕后创作不同,极力精简创作制作人员。张亚东第一次成功监制王菲全辑作品,窦唯+张亚东+王菲+COCTEAUTWINS的创作模式成功缔结了一个王菲时代的巅峰。专辑以王菲自主自在的状态作为专辑主导概念,除去两手作品 假手他人,一首纯音乐作品,其余词曲创作均由王菲一手包办。幕后编配制作上的BANDSOUD风格简化一切烦琐的的器乐铺陈。中文流行音乐词作往往左右着作品的重心,《浮躁》却刻意淡化作品中词作的地位,仅以标题叙述歌曲情境,歌曲吟唱则用简单重复的音节强化标题模绘的况味,于是成就了这张完全由“意识”或“潜意识”主导的概念专辑。

高旗&超载 genre: Rock
release date 2006-01-01 publisher: 中国科学文化音像出版社
10月29日的北京,内地摇滚乐再次开辟了一个新的时代。2005年,在许巍、崔健相继创造了摇滚高潮以后,一场小型的,但是意义丝毫不差、开创性更为突出的演出让我们激动。高旗与他的超载乐队在东方先锋剧场举行的其实可以称之为“音乐会”的“生命之诗”UNPLUGGED专场点亮了内地摇滚步入颠峰的街灯。 当晚的演出可以说是群星云集。水木年华组合做为同门兄弟放弃了外地的演出专程赶来捧场。而郑钧、许巍、姜昕、黄征、羽泉组合中的羽凡、高晓松、阿朵等等明星也纷纷到场为超载助威。新声代乐队中的痛苦的信仰、天空、便利商店等同样做为铁杆代表早早来到现场。即使是因为演出而不能前来的重量级人物如崔健、沙宝亮、唐朝乐队等也全都录制了VCR来表达祝福。众星鼎立举“旗”,也预示着演出即将开始的精彩。 整场演出的布置充满戏剧的味道。搭建很低的舞台,充满欧式复古的长剑、头盔,背景高高的吊桥、残垣,苍石、枯叶,在幽冷的灯光中显得极其凝重。而超载乐队歌曲的第一部分,从激情的《陈胜吴广》到悲情的《感受》、《距离》,从史诗般的《生命之诗》到充满幻想的《梦缠绕的时候》,音乐的厚重与歌词的冰冷被木吉他的颗粒重新诠释。而在演出舞台上方的窗口,欧洲贵妇与骑士造型的演员更让整个氛围充满神秘。而就在新歌《不要怪我》结束,乐队走回吊桥后的城堡时,整个舞台升起薄纱,空中飘散着红艳的玫瑰花瓣。瞬间的浪漫开始了演出的第二部分,《依靠》、《完美夏天》、《不要告别》……绚丽的灯光将薄纱映射下的舞台打扮得婀娜多姿。即使是象《如果我现在》这样冷艳的歌曲,依旧被重新的编配诠释得深情优雅。不可否认超载乐队的三张专辑为我们带来了全部的感触,更不可否认在这场全新的演出意境里,曾经的老歌再次被赋予了新的魔力。《生命是一次奇遇》因为吉他手李延亮的合唱而引得再次的欢呼。而《太空遨游2001》使得所有的座位彻底失去了存在的意义。和普通的演唱会不同,直到最后《每次都想拥抱你》的返场,现场仍旧座无虚席,几乎没有人提前离开。或许所有人都不想过早的离开这个永远留在历史镜头中的地方。 一个疯狂的文化时代里,一个啼笑的音乐空间里,“生命之诗”固守了他的创造者所遵循的高贵与激情。高旗和他的超载乐队也为我们演绎着那与生俱来的浪漫与不羁。而2005年的乐坛在被浮躁的流行歌曲搅得毫无美感与力量时,终于依靠摇滚乐的全面复活而踯躅前行。

张楚 genre: Rock
release date 1997-01-01 publisher: 上海声像出版社
1997年张楚第3张专辑《造飞机的工厂》就像是上一张专辑《孤独的人是可耻的》延续和演化,张楚在其中那孤独的声音显得更加高亢并凄凉了。专辑中的音乐走向了怪异的极端,更加无规律并随心所欲;歌词里表现出的睿智,思想的那种无绪状态更使人难以适应,这恐怕就叫做曲高和寡。 涌动的节奏感和恍惚的音效是这张专辑听觉方面的基础,吉他和鼓的音色既新潮又富于画面感,通过在键盘和话筒两个轨道上作的手脚,张楚进一步获取了超现实主义的荒诞感,另外,他还有一只健康的、可以把一个音拉长而不失厚度的新嗓子。现在的张楚是否真的会被什么人理解,专辑告诉我,他把自己封闭起来了。

这是一张概念化的专辑,由采样了军队队列表演时正步声的序曲引出,在接下来的“启示录”(Apocalypse Please)中,用庄严的古典钢琴声明了他们的音乐并非像一些媒体所说的是受radiohead的影响,而是俄罗斯古典音乐作曲家拉赫玛尼诺夫。“时光流逝”(Time is Running Out)先是用优美浪漫的旋律透出了优雅情怀,待到副歌部分,音乐被吉他推至波涛汹涌。““斯德哥尔摩综合症”(Stockholm Syndrome)绽放出了哥特金属似的狂妄,犹如亲眼见到了持续五分钟的爆炸。爆炸之后当然是一片宁息与反思,“与你一同消失”(Falling Away with You)就是在这种情绪下的演奏。 下半段,歇斯底里”(Hysteria)专辑中最有能量和音速的一首歌,灯火管制”(Blackout)是一首弦乐演奏的华尔兹舞曲,“飓风与蝴蝶”(Butterflies and Hurricanes)先是利用歌剧般的嗓音与不间断的贝斯演奏,完美的展现了七十年代激进摇滚的风范,而后突转风向,来了一段钢琴演奏,又展现了主唱(Matt Bellamy)的古典音乐功底。“Tsp”玩起了重金属似的颤音。“无穷无尽”(Endlessly)柔和了欧式的迪斯科与梦幻流行。“秘密章程”(Ruled by Secrecy)在钢琴的衬托下推动着如唱诗一般的歌声,描绘了感觉到时光荏苒时的悲痛。

It's a Wonderful Life

★ 8.9 55 ratings
Sparklehorse genre: Folk
release date 2001-01-01 publisher: Capitol
Over the course of three gloriously dream-dazzled albums, of which the irony-free titled It's A Wonderful Life is the quietest, sleekest and--despite a relative lack of pop hooks--probably Sparklehorse's best. Mark Linkous, the boy with a toy box full of ramshackle instruments, has sweetly, solemnly staked his affinity to the entire living universe. Bees, trees, birds, frogs, rabbits, ghosts, roosters, monkeys, babies, snakes, apples, ponies, dogs, the lot; wrapped in blissful, non-species-ist wonder that would do a Buddhist proud. The added extra here--besides a steel-drenched "Comfort Me", the old-time wheeze of "Babies on the Sun", Tom Waits' gleeful fee-fi-fo-fum through "Dog Door" and PJ Harvey's metallic whip of a voice electrifying "Piano Fire" and "Eyepennies"--is the realisation why it's been so long since you heard songs of such innocence and experience. And it hits you somewhere around the line "A child who spoke in tongues and smelled like the sun": William Blake is alive and well and making music in West Virginia. --Jennifer Nine Description Third full-length album from Mark Linkous, featuring more of his trademark bittersweet alt-country rock. The album includes guest appearances by Tom Waits, the Cardigans' Nina Persson, and PJ Harvey. It was produced by Harvey's long-time collaborator John Parish and Flaming Lips/Mercury Rev producer Dave Fridmann.
