432 Douban
8.1 (74 ratings) Gatsby In A Daze genre: Rock
release date 2020-02-08 publisher: 赤瞳音乐
裹挟着二十一世纪一十年代的漫长余音,Gatsby in a Daze的首张全长专辑《432》——终于在二十年代的第一个元宵节正式发布。节日所蕴藏的古典的团圆兴味自不用多提。这种“团圆”似出于自我,却心系他人;似无暇于时代,却沾满了时代的脚印。
专辑名为“432”一如上一张EP“(((”般懒气少言,恰好也便于闲者随想。
唱片的画作依旧来自乐队贝斯手(1334)。在“(((”里东倒的人不知踪影,西歪的兽也正在下沉,“432”留下了干净的线条勾勒出的景观,在幻梦异常之中井然成像。
顺序播放整张唱片,浓浓的混响让这个时空温温柔柔的,歌名与词都给出了一些具象的碎片。不知从何而来的感性;不知从何而来的理性;不非要明白为什么;不须说出个所以然。迷幻否、梦幻否?不幻,只有真实的迷,只有真实的梦。
十首歌,包含五种语言、各种节奏型与音阶走向,像一种数字时代的抽离与融合,不问原由。或许一种存在的本身的样子就是如此,是除音乐之外,图像和文字无法描述的。
晕乎的姿态,清晰的表达。“晕盖”及《432》这张处女唱片无疑是具有时代感的。热爱并创造着,经历着一如既往的年轻的忧伤,用一种也淡然也深情的方式敲打弹唱,这或许是面对时间的最好方式。
小我并不重要,但我却只拥有它。

American Head Douban
7.3 (6 ratings) The Flaming Lips
release date 2020-09-11 publisher: Warner Records
American Head is the best and most consistent studio album from The Flaming Lips since the release of their most successful brace of albums The Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots. Similar to those albums, the 13 songs on American Head are classically structured and features the same sonic and production qualities. Kacey Musgraves (a fan who covers “Do You Realize” in her live set) is featured on “God And The Policeman”.
Morrison Hotel Douban
9.1 (53 ratings) The Doors genre: Rock
release date 1970-01-01 publisher: Elektra / Wea
Morrison Hotel (sometimes referred to as Hard Rock Cafe from the title of the first side of the LP, whose second side is titled Morrison Hotel) is The Doors' fifth album. It was released in 1970. After their experimental work The Soft Parade was not as well received as anticipated, the group went back to basics and back to their roots. On this album, there is a slight steer toward blues, which would be fully explored by the band on their next album, L.A. Woman. The strategy worked; even though no major hit singles were drawn from the album, Morrison Hotel reestablished The Doors as favorites of the critics, peaking at #4 on the US album chart, and when they followed with L.A. Woman the next year, they were rewarded with two more US Top 20 hits. The album also became the band's highest charting studio album in the UK, where it peaked at #12.
The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn Douban
9.1 (160 ratings) Pink Floyd genre: Rock
release date 1967-01-01 publisher: Capitol
专辑介绍:
1967年Pink Floyd签约EMI公司,一路畅行,首张单曲和首张专辑轻松上榜。首张专辑《The Piper at the Gates Of Dawn》(黎明之门前的风笛手)可与The Beatles的《Sgt.Pepper'S》(帕波军士)一争高下。要评出英国迷幻专辑之最佳,《The Piper at the Gates of Dawn》当仁不让,一定要与《Sgt.Pepper’s》比肩同行。这张专辑既是首张也是Pink Floyd 最后一张类似的专辑。
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第347位。
Sketches Of Brunswick East (Feat. Mild High Club) Douban
9.0 (12 ratings) King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard genre: Rock
release date 2017-08-18 publisher: ATO Records
Sketches of Brunswick East is the eleventh studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, and the third by Mild High Club. The album title is a reference to the Melbourne suburb of Brunswick East and Miles Davis' album Sketches of Spain. It was released on 18 August 2017 by Flightless Records in Australia, ATO Records in the United States, and Heavenly Recordings in the United Kingdom. It is the third of five albums set to be released in 2017.
The album is a collaboration with Mild High Club, and is prominently jazz-based.
Background and conception
The album was conceived just after the release of Flying Microtonal Banana and the completion of Murder of the Universe, the band's first and second releases in 2017. At that point, ideas for the next three albums were discussed, with one (presumably Sketches of Brunswick East) said to be in a "state of coming together," while the other two were "sort of distant at the moment."
Stu Mackenzie stated in an interview that the collaboration with Mild High Club came about because Alex Brettin, the sole member of the band, played at King Gizzard's own Gizzfest in December 2016. Afterward, Brettin stayed at Mackenzie's house for a few weeks, during which they came up with ideas that he has since described as "really, really vague." The two recorded a handful of iPhone voice memos to share with each other, which they ended up calling sketches: hence the album title. Mackenzie later stated that the album was recorded in three weeks.
The album's title was leaked in the Heavenly Recordings album biography for Murder of the Universe. The title alludes to Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain as a musical influence.
The track “Rolling Stoned” was first shown in a live performance by the Mild High Club featuring Stu Mackenzie almost two years before this album was even known to exist. The description of the video's upload on YouTube lists it as being from “their upcoming LP”, but was not present on Skiptracing - the version here is similar, almost certainly meaning it is a missing cut from that album.
The album was first played in its entirety on August 18, 2017 on a Facebook live stream. The album was then available for purchase an hour after the start of the stream.
The Wall Douban
9.5 (466 ratings) Pink Floyd genre: Rock
release date 1979-01-01 publisher: Sony/Columbia
Pink Floyd 的 The Wall 也许是音乐史上极具迷惑力和富想象力的专辑。The Wall 录制于1979年,联合艺术家电影公司在1982年拍摄了这张专辑的同步电影 The Wall。
故事是围绕着一个虚构的,将一位名为 Pink Floyd 歌星的孤独比喻成一堵精神上的墙这个故事所展开的,而墙是由他在人生各个阶段所产生的,而且无法排斥的一种精神失落,它不以个人意志为转移并随他的人生成长也日益增长演化发展而成的。专辑的开篇便是通过邀请无意识的观众进入 Pink 的演出(In The Flesh?)而展开的,刚一出世 Pink 就面对着如履薄冰的人生(The Thin Ice),然后转回到孩提时代对在二战中阵亡的父亲的回忆(Another Brick In The Wall [Part 1]),上学后又不得不面对填鸭式的刻板教育制度的伤害(The Happiest Days Of Our Lives 以及 Another Brick In The Wall pt. 2);回到家中他的母亲又对其的过分看护而使其感受不到任何家庭的温暖(Mother),他不由得自问「我该相信政府吗?他们会把我送上火线吗?我该修建一堵墙吗?」;但在甜言蜜语的回答中,他看到的却是这个世界依旧充斥着漫天而降的炸弹和奔向掩体的平民(Goodbye Blue Sky);他迷惑了,不知何去何从(Empty Spaces);于是他自甘堕落下去,在他对性的憧憬和渴望中(Young Lust)高喊到「I need a dirty girl」;然而在现实无奈的空虚中,只能假装一切都好,但日复一日,爱变得灰暗,他却变老并得不到任何快乐(One Of My Turns);他感到的只是剃刀般的冰冷和葬礼的鼓声,以及对女友离去后所发出的凄惨的哀鸣(Don't Leave Me Now);此时的 Pink 已经完全绝望,他已不再相信任何人,他觉得他就象一块墙上的砖头被强行禁锢在其中迷失了自我(Another Brick In The Wall pt. 3);最后,在他结束曲(Goodbye Cruel World)中彻底将自己和周围的世界隔离开而结束了第一盘的内容,而此时,Pink 已完全建立起来的自我封闭的墙,它表明他已深深地陷入精神失落的旋涡里。
第二盘在 Pink 面对外面的世界寻求自我解脱(Hey You)中开始,而美妙的吉他演奏曲(Is There Anybody Out There?)以及低沉的管乐曲(Nobody Home)折射出此时 Pink 的孤独情感,对人生迷茫的他哀叹到「..But I've got nowhere to fly to」;精神忧郁的 Pink 面对电视中反映二战时期的电影时唤起他悲伤的回忆,不由发出痛苦的哀鸣(Vera);随后在一片鼓乐齐鸣般的古典弥撒风格的颂歌合唱中,引出了整部专辑的核心曲目(Bring The Boys Back Home)中则唱出了他强烈的反战心声;当他的唱片公司使用药物诱使其完成(Comfortably Numb)后,他不由得想逃避,发问到「这场表演还要继续下去吗?」为何不转身逃走?然而此时此刻,他已没有退路,他不得不将这场表演进行下去(The Show Must Go On);在演出现场,他那种忧郁不振的情绪最终异化为一种莫名的憎恶和歇斯底里般的法西斯式发作(In The Flesh),他嚎叫到「If I had my way, I'd have all of you shut」;他不愿被社会带走他的灵魂,宁愿(Run Like Hell);在温暖但混乱的战栗中,他再度迷茫,孤立无援只能(Waiting For The Worms),伴随着痛苦,他的心在流血,精神已疲倦不堪,终于将这场表演(Stop);而在(The Trial)中,他通过对自己在精神上进行的审判,最终将他心灵中的这面墙推倒后,Pink 终于走出墙外(Outside The Wall)和人们又会聚在一起而结束全曲。回首往事,墙那边又是一群疯狂的小孩们,他们是否又在建造他们自己的墙吗?这张唱片向我们展示了追求理想的曲折路程,它以内心的沉思为主,以「墙」比喻人性的枷锁,在经历种种挫折和失败后,不再沉沦,不再逃避,勇敢地走出「墙」外,寻找自己的新天地。
这部专辑广受注目的一个重要原因是它与当时的社会背景紧密配合。例如,在专辑中多次出现的反战内容唱出了广大美国社会民众对越战深刻反思的心声,而把自己比作是「墙上的一块砖头」且无足轻重,便采取逃避的方式以求解脱,这种思想又与当时美国社会中「垮掉的一代」的处世态度不谋而合,因此也同样赢得了广泛的社会共鸣。这部抱负不凡的概念专辑凭其极富社会反叛性的内涵而在全球掀起热潮。该专辑在美发行后于当年 12 月 15 日进入美专辑榜并名第列 51 位,六周后升至榜首并一举蝉联 15 周冠军,而在美国同期发行的单曲 Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2) 也以其特有的叛逆性而成为其单曲榜的4周冠军,并且也是他们历史上唯一一首单曲榜冠军歌曲。The Wall 的演出则是一部耗费心力的舞台表演(如此奢华以至于乐队只能将它带到少数几座城市进行演出)并被改编成一部完整的电影。该专辑同期在全球攻陷了几乎所有西方工业化国家的排行榜并占据榜首位置(在日本和英国可能没有那么好的评价,英国Q杂志给出的很普通的三颗星的打分)。The Wall 同样标志着 Waters 和 Gilmour 最后一次作为合作伙伴在一起工作。乐队在下一部专辑 The Final Cut 完成后便宣告解体。
