如果有人想在80年代找一支带有90年代色彩的乐队，那么 Pixies 绝对是不二的选择。他们在签约于着名的英国唱片厂牌 4AD 之后推出的这张激进的《Surfer Rosa》以其严肃刺耳的音波为诸如 Nirvana 之类的乐队扫平了道路。在善于在制作中表现自我的制作人 Steve Albini 的协助下，乐队以吉它手 Joey Santiago 暴怒的吉它和主唱 Black Francis 的嘶吼确立了他们独特的风格：冷酷但不傲慢、充满创造性但并不故作晦涩、硬朗却不夸张。歌曲“Gigantic”、“Break My Body”、“Tony's Theme”、“Something Against You”、“Where Is My Mind”是公认的非主流摇滚必听之选。

Doolittle is the second studio album from the American alternative rock band Pixies, released in April 1989 on 4AD. The album's offbeat and dark subject material, featuring references to surrealism, Biblical violence, torture and death, contrasts with the clean production sound achieved by the newly hired producer Gil Norton. Doolittle was the Pixies' first international release, with Elektra Records as the album's distributor in the United States and PolyGram in Canada.

1983年的《Construction Time Again》是D. M.事业中的第一个高峰。由于这张唱片是 Gore 将悦耳的旋律与刺耳的工业噪音效果和有关资本主义、社会主义及社会化的抒情诗天衣无缝地融合在一起而制作的，所以它证明了 Depeche mode能够成功地将政治与流行音乐结合起来。碟中"Meaning Of Love"、"See You"和"Leave In Silence"等作品是至今仍被传颂的好歌。除了继承D.M.一贯朴实的风格外，Martin开始把思维投向多变的世界，歌曲的色调和气氛开始变得低沉。Martin成熟得令人吃惊，悲痛、伤感的意味似乎是D.M.走向黑色电子乐的前兆。D.M.开始真正成为一支广受欢迎的流行乐队。

Brandon Flowers dials back the pomp for an intimate, homespun, and sometimes clunky tour through the small town where he grew up.

Produced by Nigel Godrich, Win & Reìgine, and recorded in multiple locales including New Orleans, El Paso and Mount Desert Island, WE paradoxically distills “the longest we’ve ever spent writing, uninterrupted, probably ever" (per the band’s Win Butler) into a concise 40 minute epic – one as much about the forces that threaten to pull us away from the people we love, as it is inspired by the urgent need to overcome them. WE’s cathartic journey follows a definable arc from darkness into light over the course of seven songs divided into two distinct sides -- Side “I” channeling the fear and loneliness of isolation, and Side “WE” expressing the joy and power of reconnection. On the album’s cover, a photograph of a human eye by the artist JR evokes Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. This stunning image -- embellished by the distinctive airbrush color tinting of Terry Pastor (utilizing the same physical technique he employed on David Bowie’s iconic Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust covers) – is the visual expression of WE.

On the fourth album from their reunited lineup, the alt-rock lifers choose to embrace the slowing of their step.

New Order are an English rock band formed in 1980 by vocalist and guitarist Bernard Sumner, bassist Peter Hook and drummer Stephen Morris. The band formed after the demise of Joy Division, following the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis; they were joined by Gillian Gilbert on keyboards later that year.

Waiting for the Sirens' Call is the eighth studio album by the English rock band New Order. The album was released on 28 March 2005 in the United Kingdom and 25 April 2005 in the United States, and was preceded by the single "Krafty" in February. Two additional singles from the album were released: "Jetstream", which features vocals by Ana Matronic from Scissor Sisters, and the title track of the album. The album was released at a time when the band were experiencing unprecedented recognition in the media. Waiting for the Sirens' Call marks Phil Cunningham's recording and co-writing debut with New Order; although he had been playing live with the band since the Get Ready tour of 2001–2002. It is the first New Order album recorded without Gillian Gilbert who left the band in 2001 to look after her family. The album was recorded at Real World studios in 2003–2004, and production costs totalled £700,000. During the sessions the band also recorded seven songs intended for their next album, which was never completed as planned. These songs were shelved when Peter Hook quit the group in 2007. One song, "Hellbent", was eventually released in 2011 and all seven (plus a remix of "I Told You So") were released as the album Lost Sirens in 2013. This album was the first and only New Order album to have a title track. This matches their current trend of now using song titles which are in the song lyrics, a practice New Order rarely did before their 2001 album Get Ready. The Japanese release includes several alternate versions of "Krafty" as bonus tracks, including one sung in Japanese. This was the first time that lead singer Bernard Sumner performed in a language other than English on record. The lyrics were translated by Masafumi Gotō. The USA release of this album includes one extra track, a remix of "Guilt Is a Useless Emotion".

2004年新版本，Satellite Of Love、Walk On The Wild Side、Perfect Day为Original版本，增加Hangin' 'Round、Perfect Day两首原声吉他版demo。

20分钟的歌曲再加上 "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" 所组成的这部专辑依旧是根系于他们早期的 "Atom Heart Mother Suite" 和 "Echoes" 等这些作品，但我们宁愿看到另一种 Pink Floyd 的音乐风格。"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" 的歌词完全是在赞美与称颂 Barrett 的聪明以及作为对其后来的隐退发出的一曲挽歌。整首歌曲由9段组成，而专辑选用了前面的5首片段作为整部专辑的开篇。对于该曲你往往最先可能被 Gilmour 忧伤的吉他主奏所打动，不过贯穿全曲的确是 Wright 有史以来最出色的键盘演奏，当然萨克斯演奏家 Dick Parry 如同在 Dark Side 中一样做了精彩的表演；而后面的4首片段则作为专辑的结束曲，伴随着风声以及David Gilmour 吉他的咆哮声和他的呐喊声中开始，并最终在波涛汹涌般的键盘声中逐渐结束整部专辑。本来该曲是作为一个整体演出的，但在1975年却被一分为二了。毫无疑问的是，这首歌曲就是针对并间接地回顾了 Pink Floyd 音乐历程上的第一个变故 —— 乐团创史人 Syd Barrett 中途离开乐队。1975年7月5日，当乐队录制完毕而进行混音制作阶段工作的时候，有一个陌生人来到录音室外面默默地看着里面工作的乐队成员，他就是 Syd Barrett。可惜当时他并不知道这部专辑就是题献给他的，在匆忙一瞥后，人们从此再也没在公共场合见到他。 在 VSC3 合成器极富规律的伴奏下，伴随着重复回声的组合引出了 "Welcome To The Machine" 开头的那部分音节，由此开始了一个针对当时音乐圈中广泛存在的“对金钱的追逐超过了对音乐制作创新的追求”现象的辛辣的讽刺，而将歌手 Roy Harper 引入并演唱 "Have A Cigar" 则似乎是 Waters 的耻辱，但当时在录制此曲的时候，本应担任主唱的 Waters 嗓子出了问题而无法正常演唱，刚巧他的朋友 Roy Harper 也同期在同一录音室录制别的作品，于是 Waters 便请他的朋友演唱了这首对唱片录音工业辛辣讽刺的歌曲，不过后来 Waters 对这个决定也无不抱怨说“not because he did it badly...it just isn't us anymore”。歌曲里面有一句歌词“Which one's Pink?”其实来自于一位对他们一无所知的美国唱片公司董事询问乐队时愚蠢的提问，后来在演唱会上，Waters 将这句话印到自己的T恤上。 唱片的标题曲 WISH YOU WERE HERE 同样也是针对 Syd Barrett，但也是 Roger Waters 对于徘徊在乐队成功的四周围的贪婪所进行的斗争中所感受到的紧张感，而根植于贯穿 Wish You Were Here 专辑中所体现出来的那种觉醒的主题不断的滋生发展并最终在后来的 The Wall 中萌发壮大。古典/爵士小提琴手 Stephane Grapelli 参加了该曲的录制，也就是全曲结束时那几个小节的风声的合成音响效果的录音。而歌曲的管弦乐片段其实是截取于 Tchaikovsky 的第四交响曲的录音。本曲以后成为乐队巡回演唱会上的保留曲目，即使是 Waters 离开乐队后，无论乐团还是他依旧喜欢在各自的演出中演唱它。 WISH YOU WERE HERE 专辑于75年9月27日进入美国排行榜并名列12位，并于10月4日升至榜首。而在英国，发行后第一周便荣登榜首，不过这要感谢提前预售的25万张唱片的功劳。Wish 专辑也是在他们离开了与之合作多年的 Capitol 唱片公司，并自组 Pink Floyd Music 公司后制作的第一部作品，另外他们将其作品改委由 Columbia 唱片公司发行而不是老东家EMI公司了。或许是因为上一张作品反映太好，它多少显得这张专辑有些失色，乐评家的评论甚至也仅以“了无长进”一笔带过。现在回过头来看这张唱片，虽然具有一定程度的商业化倾向的表现，但在音乐创作的本质上，它仍然够资格称得上是一张质量均佳的好作品。 这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第209位。

「惡」從我身上經過然後離開。 就這樣消失了。 如果要問惡存在過的痕跡， 我是唯一的證明。 我是，惡，存在過的證明， 我是惡人。 最親近的人，經常彼此帶著傷痕。這樣的情節在城市發展、轉型的時空背景下，類似的家庭環境中屢見不鮮。惡人整張專輯，從受害者角度，描述家庭之間的親密暴力：言語暴力、肢體暴力。家庭成員的缺席、孩子因為成長環境，造成的無聲的影響。 《惡人》是Easy Shen 繼2016年《如果時間由轉我們依然》之後，再度推出第四張個人專輯。除了全製作編曲外，也是Easy首次全混音的個人專輯。由拉丁葛萊美獎得主Andres Mayo後製。音樂架構以鋼琴、合成器貝斯、合成器(Easy) ，加上鼓手(Jarvis Chen)、吉他手(詹詠安)的三件式器樂組合，邀請真劇場文場領奏：許家銘老師加上嗩吶、打擊。同時，詹詠安(即LEIGHT NINE)也在「Leap of Faith」, 「蓮」中獻聲。 專輯中以聲響諧仿90年代長大的孩子共同的記憶：電視動畫、電視遊樂器、掌上型電玩，以及街頭巷尾時常可見的廟會行進。 有別於單曲版Easy式的電氣dance punk，專輯版重製的「蓮」一曲，以90年代另類樂團為參考，製作出更透骨的力道。 「去福利社」一曲，邀請三位年紀相仿的歌手－凌子璿、黃聖丰以及詹詠安共同演唱，彷彿在校內的學長學弟組成的男孩團體。「惡人」一曲則邀請龐克樂團普通隊長主唱劉佳維合唱以及台詞演繹。 惡人專輯名稱英文名稱V，除了是同名曲Villain簡寫，V的形狀是一個倒過來的人。到底什麼是惡？而什麼是一個真正的、完整的人？專輯封面黑與白的位置，表達橫式與直式閱讀兩種不同的意境。 推薦聆聽： 《Leap of Faith》信任危機要用信任度過，齊克果的哲學，能否帶領我們跨越情緒的幽谷？歌曲邀請好友們齊唱，真劇場樂師許家銘嗩吶飆歌，新世紀福音讚士。 《蓮》90年代另類搖滾風格，尋找創傷源頭，與LEIGHT NINE(詹詠安)共同演繹親密暴力受害心聲。 《去福利社》凌子璿x黃聖丰x詹詠安，新生代歌手男孩團體成形！兒時戒不掉的小小快樂，友情彌補親情，越彌補越上癮，越上癮越快樂。
