专辑的名字来自一位墨西哥艺术家Frida Kahlo给自己的一幅画的命名。
在这张专辑制作的早期,三名乐队成员各自把对新专辑的想法都写在一张白板上,每一个人的想法都很激进前卫,最后,Chris Martin收回了他的看法。他希望以后有机会再游说他们。"我听到波诺曾经说过一句话,'乐队不应该为钱而分裂,他们应该只为了歌曲名单而分裂,'”他说,在这一点上,没有什么比这更有针对性了。”
乐队聘请了传奇制片人Brian Eno做他们第4张专辑的制作人。并且,他们有针对性地试图排除一切外来影响。吉他手Johnny Buckland说: "我们感觉自己的头三张专辑是一个三部曲,我们已经完成了。因此,我们想要做一些不同的。" 乐队让记者听了一下他们正在制作的歌曲小样,大多数听起来令人耳目一新, 完全不同于他们以往的热门歌曲“Clocks”和“Speed Of Sound”。
好几首歌相当粗糙靠近边缘,伴随着扭曲的吉他和更加突出的敲击。歌词是暗色调的,反复出现了死亡和孤独的主题。其中有几首歌,Martin延长他的声带调色板,其表现大大超出了人们对他以往运用假声的理解,其音色低沉,性感,给人的感觉更个人,更真实。"不管这样好还是不好,我们已经开始在音乐里融入更多的色彩。”Martin说。 "取悦每一个人是不可能做到的,我们经历了这么长时间才体会到这一点。这样说让人觉得自由——可能没有一个人喜欢我们做的这些东西,但我们此时此刻就是想这样做,而且要把它做完为止。”
在新专辑里,乐队探索了各种声波的方向,其中一些来自制作人呢Brain Eno的启发和鼓励。"他不主观臆断,做出来的东西令人耳目一新。”Matin说。Buckland补充说, "他不仅仅是带来声音或其他东西,他带来了对一切事情的想法,甚至具体到,怎样构筑我们渡过的这一天。他的建议让我们停下来,仔细考虑很多问题。”

Coldplay的首张专辑《Parachutes》是一张集直率、深刻、动人旋律的大作,以回归到音乐源头的作法,来表现其歌曲中内敛但原始的情绪,证明了并非靠着嘶声呐喊才能在乐坛上一鸣惊人。此辑全球销量直逼500万张、获得NME及Q杂志高度评价、2座2001全英音乐奖及2002葛莱美最佳另类专辑。一夜之间,Coldplay从小酒吧到苏格兰格拉斯哥公园、澳洲的Big Day Out活动,甚至屡登头条的美国巡回演唱。
2002年Coldplay推出第二张专辑《A Rush of Blood To The Head》,他们再次起用Parachutes专辑原班人马-混音及制作拍文件Ken Nelson、电脑工程师Mark Phythain。专辑从2001年10月开始筹备,虽然还是一贯Coldplay的酷劲,比起前一张却更加丰富,有更多的快节奏及电子元素蕴含其中,而专辑的走向,基本上还是以个人情绪出发。

如果说当年的Dummy专集是让你在黄昏时分於幽暗斗室内享受著浪漫化的靡烂气氛的话,那么Portishead这张同名大碟就是让你置身晦黯无光的古老大屋内,感受著阵阵的诡譎寒凛与人世间的悲愴。
2097 年,在英国Bristol市的市郊位置,一间已有百多年历史的破旧大屋内被发现居住了三隻幽灵。据知,女的沉默不语但只爱唱歌,而两位男的,一个爱把弄已绝迹多时的唱盘,一个爱弹奏忧怨的蓝调爵士结他。每逢月色皎洁、寒风颯颯的晚上,这间大屋内总会传来幽悒凄厉而又哀怨魅惑的音乐,飘入城内。传说中,他们是百多年前Bristol 音乐界的巨星、Trip Hop音乐潮流的导航者,三人以Portishead为代号。
在一百年之前,即1997年,他们发表了一张充满黑白恐怖电影的苍白诡譎气氛之唱片。
假如你兴致勃勃的购买了Portishead的第二张同名大碟回家,一心以为可以像Dummy那样让你在其灯光柔和的舒适斗室内享受著阵阵靡烂颓气之际,唱片转出来的声响却猛然把你扯进一间阴风阵阵、晦黯无光、诡譎寒凛的古老大屋内,然后传来悽怨歌声--就像恐怖幽灵电影的情节那样。
在新大碟里,同样是泛著浓浓的电影感,带来已不再是昔日的间谍电影意味,而是恍如黑白恐怖片的惨白幽悒气氛。Beth的歌声时而狰狞、时而哀怨伤痛如孤魂的哭诉,连Geoff的Scratching效果也宛如咒语,加上像丧礼音乐节奏的Breakbeat或沉重的鼓击,还有鬼魅的 意境与破旧感的Old School Tech录音效果,都来得那么匪夷所思。像最先作限量十二吋发 行的一曲Cowboys,在那爵士化Hip Hop鼓击底下,电结他与Off-key键琴交织出的扑朔迷离意境、狰狞的主唱、阴森的低音,已事先示范出今次Portishead可叫人不寒而慄的梦魘式恐怖感。甚至是穿插著John Barry James Bond电影式管弦乐的细碟作All Mine,即使是碟内较易接受的一曲,但听著Beth苍白如幽灵的歌声与中段Adrian来得血淋淋的结他独奏,还有那个一派黑白Cult Film手法的音乐短片,都难掩这份教人听得心慌慌之感。

Low is the eleventh studio album by English singer David Bowie, released on RCA Records in January 1977. Recorded largely in France following Bowie's move to West Berlin and decision to break his drug dependence, Low became the first of three collaborations with musician Brian Eno and producer Tony Visconti later termed the "Berlin Trilogy". The album marked a shift in Bowie's musical style toward an electronic and avant-garde approach that would be further explored on subsequent albums "Heroes" (1977) and Lodger (1979).
Though it was initially met with mixed critical reviews, Low has since become widely acclaimed as one of Bowie's best and most influential works.

"It felt like we were in a movie that had a totally implausible ending..."
Slowdive's second act as a live blockbuster has already been rapturously received around the world. Highlights thus far include a festival-conquering, sea-of-devotees Primavera Sound performance, of which Pitchfork noted: "The beauty of their crystalline sound is almost hard to believe, every note in its perfect place."
"It was just nice to realise that there was a decent amount of interest in it," says principal songwriter Neil Halstead. The UK shoegaze pioneers have now channelled such seemingly impossible belief into a fourth studio opus which belies his characteristic modesty. Self-titled with quiet confidence, Slowdive's stargazing alchemy is set to further entrance the faithful while beguiling a legion of fresh ears.
Deftly swerving what co-vocalist/guitarist Rachel Goswell terms "a trip down memory lane", these eight new tracks are simultaneously expansive and the sonic pathfinders' most direct material to date. Birthed at the band's talismanic Oxfordshire haunt The Courtyard - "It felt like home," enthuses guitarist Christian Savill - their diamantine melodies were mixed to a suitably hypnotic sheen at Los Angeles' famed Sunset Sound facility by Chris Coady (perhaps best known for his work with Beach House, one of countless contemporary acts to have followed in Slowdive's wake).
"It's poppier than I thought it was going to be," notes Halstead, who was the primary architect of 1995's previous full-length transmission Pygmalion. This time out the group dynamic was all-important. "When you're in a band and you do three records, there's a continuous flow and a development. For us, that flow re-started with us playing live again and that has continued into the record."
Drummer and loop conductor Simon Scott enhanced the likes of 'Slomo' and 'Falling Ashes' with abstract textures conjured via his laptop's signal processing software. A fecund period of experimentation with "40-minute iPhone jams" allowed the unit to then amplify the core of their chemistry. "Neil is such a gifted songwriter, so the songs won. He has these sparks of melodies, like 'Sugar For The Pill' and 'Star Roving', which are really special. But the new record still has a toe in that Pygmalion sound. In the future, things could get very interesting indeed."
This open-channel approach to creativity is reflected by Slowdive's impressively wide field of influence, from indie-rock avatars to ambient voyagers - see the tribute album of cover versions released by Berlin electronic label Morr Music. As befits such evocative visionaries, you can also hear Slowdive through the silver screen: New Queer Cinema trailblazer Gregg Araki has featured them on the soundtracks to no less than four of his films.
"When I moved to America in 2008 I was working in an organic grocery store," recalls Christian. "Kids started coming in and asking if it was true I had played in Slowdive. That's when I started thinking, 'OK, this is weird!'"
Neil Halstead: "We were always ambitious. Not in terms of trying to sell records, but in terms of making interesting records. Maybe, if you try and make interesting records, they're still interesting in a few years time. I don't know where we'd have gone if we had carried straight on. Now we've picked up a different momentum. It's intriguing to see where it goes next."
The world has finally caught up with Slowdive. This movie could run and run...

英伦巨头Radiohead 带来了世界无数歌迷日夜期待的第7张录音室专辑《In Rainbows》。Radiohead 这次选择了独特的发行方式,网络发行,不是说网络方式发行是独特的,而是他们目前还没有选择一家唱片公司来正式发行这张专辑。在10月10号那天通过网络购买的方式来获得专辑,可以购买MP3,也可以购买CD,不过CD会比MP3晚2个月才能拿到手。最后的普通版CD估计要到2008年的一月份才会通过公司进行全球发行。MP3在10号那天英国当地时间早晨5点开放下载后,一直到现在,Radiohead的官方打开速度仍然很慢,可以想像全世界有多少在同时登陆一个网站,同时下载一首歌。歌迷需要付出40磅才能下到载整张专辑歌曲,其中MP3格式的为不写保护,160Kbps的音质。从Radiohead选择这样的发行方式来看,显然他们走出的是一条新路,他们相信网络传播对艺人的作品不是想象中的可怕与不可抵抗的。同时这样的方式也给世界唱片工业一个重磅,给世界的唱片市场一个新的思路与想法
