Shame, Shame Douban
Dr. Dog genre: Rock
release date 2010-04-06 publisher: Anti- Records
Dr. Dog having evolved from a band whose primary creative outlet was the album-making process into one that favored the energy of their live performances, they knew they wanted to document the new dynamic they had developed on the road. Producer Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith) was brought in to help peel back the intricate arrangements of last album Fate to reveal the raw immediacy of a tight five-man unit honing their craft.
Latin Douban
Holy Fuck genre: Rock
release date 2010-05-11 publisher: Beggars Xl Recording
If opposites really do attract, it makes perfect sense that Holy Fuck would choose a barn in rural Ontario to record a series of dynamic electro-noise pop tracks that compose their latest full-length release, titled Latin. There is an added dimension of song craft on Latin, it brings noise and melody together with an uncanny sense of optimism - but at the same time Holy Fuck have not lost the chaotic and euphoric energy that they are known for.it's no wonder Holy Fuck's "Latin" is one the most highly anticipated releases this Spring.

Amor Amor Douban
8.6 (18 ratings) Arielle Dombasle genre: Jazz
release date 2004-01-01
阿利耶勒·东巴斯勒(Arielle Dombasle)的成为双金唱片(售出200 000张)的新专辑《爱·爱》,是拉丁歌曲的荟萃,汇集了包括来自墨西哥和古巴的柔情波莱罗斯乐曲。它们把我们带到了生于美国、却在墨西哥任法国大使的祖父身边生活到十八岁的阿利耶勒的童年时光。常常被法国人评为世界上最美的女人之一的阿利耶勒,1993年与被法国媒体报道最多的文人贝尔纳-亨利·雷威成婚。如果说她在二十五年当中演了大约二十五部电影,其中包括埃里克·侯麦(Éric Rohmer)的《沙滩上难忘的波利娜》和拉乌尔·吕兹(Raoul Ruiz)的《坚强的灵魂》,那么音乐一直以来都是她生命的中心。正如她的墨西哥血脉一样。“当我来到法国的时候,”她对《地铁报》透露到,“我曾经深深埋藏我是拉丁人的事实……,突然,我有一种欲望……想说出,与爱情相比,这一块大陆能让我无比激动、敏感和痛苦的一面。”
第一眼看见这张专辑的封面时,对于里面音乐的风格,大概就已经能够猜出一大半来了。一个金黄色卷发的女子,与夜幕一般颜色的装束,还有一支老式的话筒,再将唱片翻转过来看一看收录的各种曾经红极一时的歌曲名称,从头到尾,打造的似乎就是一种浓郁的怀旧气息。虽然里面的东西向来都是被各路歌手广为传唱的,缺少了一些新意,但是专辑的选曲很精也很全面,如果想一网打尽经典的怀旧流行音乐,非它莫属!

Undercover Psycho Douban
Wayne Jackson
release date 2010-02-12 publisher: 德国
在曼切斯特城郊举行的年度校际运动会中,年仅6岁的Wayne就在同级的比赛中一举夺冠,不仅如此,在比赛中他拒绝停下脚步来甚至还多跑了几圈。这种顽强与坚韧的精神从来就没有离开过他。
在单曲“The Long Goodbye”发行之后,Wayne就立刻投身于新专辑的制作当中。在汉堡经历了数月多产的歌曲创作之后,Wayne便动身在初夏时节回到了柏林——如今他称之为家的城市。回到德国后,Wayne就立刻签约于新成立不久的德国唱片公司——BMG Rights Management Label 并马不停蹄地着手到新专辑的录制工作中来。他的新东家们在听完他录制完成的第一首歌后,便立马将专辑的发行纳入到他们的预定计划中来。而此时Wayne却已经开始在录音室创作他又一张全新专辑了。这次,为了更好地聆听并记录下漂浮于自己脑海中的旋律,Wayne在整张专辑的制作过程中始终都是独自完成的。虽然独自创作并录制整张专辑可能让人望而生畏,而来自他人的帮助则可助人获取源源不断的新动力,但Wayne却坚持了下来,做出的音乐也让人耳目一新。Undercover Psycho,专辑如其名,极具个性化。
Wayne的音乐不可避免的受到了New Order, U2, Editors及Snow Patrol的影响,但他却总能将自己独特的音乐风格及特有的世界观融入到自己的音乐当中。“Hallelujah”,来自专辑的第一首单曲,音乐将Morricone式的颂唱及Wayne极具穿透力的低音完美的结合在了一起,歌曲的副歌部分则更像是一曲圣歌,安抚着愤愤不平和受伤的人们。如果你曾经厌烦或气到想要放声尖叫的话,那么这首歌则无疑是为你而准备的。
在专辑快要制作完成之前,Wayne 受邀在德国主要的肥皂剧Gute Zeite Schlechte Zeiten中演唱了他的单曲,同时Wayne的歌曲也为电影"Die Tür"的宣传增色不少。
Waste Management Douban
6.7 (9 ratings) t.A.T.u. genre: Electronic
release date 2009-12-15 publisher: T.A.Music
t.A.T.u. 第三张英文专辑于 2009 年 12 月 15 日在拉丁美洲发行。英文专辑的名称和 2008年在俄国发行的俄文版“ Happy Smiles ”不同,将采用最早定下的名字 《Waste Management》(中文暂译“废物理”)。 如今,我们得坦白说 “Happy Smiles” 这个名字只不过是对 t.A.T.u. 粉丝们开的一个玩笑而已。实际上,这张专辑的主题跟“Happy Smiles” 的字面意思完全相反,“Waste Management” 这个名字才更加切题。
《Waste Management》将由巴西唱片公司 Coqueiro Verde Records 负责向巴西、阿根廷及智利发行。 这张英文专辑并不仅仅是《Happy Smiles》的复制品。 你们只有把这张专辑中的所有歌曲无间断地听上一遍后,才能体会到我们想要表达的东西。我们私下称这个版本为 pinkfloydish,” Lena 解释道:“Pink Floyd 并不是唯一一个这样做的乐队,但他们确实给了我们灵感。《Waste Management》中的每首歌曲之间都会有 Evgeniy Matveitsev 为大家演奏的简短旋律穿插其中,因此这张专辑将带大家走上不停歇的音乐旅程。” 这种连续性的概念已经体现在 t.A.T.u. 的音乐录影带中: Sparks (220) 的MV结束后自然而然地将情节带入 Snowfalls (Snegopady) 的MV里。
除了 “Martian Eyes”这首歌,《Waste Management》中的所有歌曲全部用英语重新录制。Leonid Aleksandrovsky将俄文原词翻译成英语歌词,并且在原词的基础上进行了再创作。
这张专辑还有数首混音歌曲,混音师其中一位是早已被 t.A.T.u. 歌迷熟知的俄国 DJ 兼音乐人Fly_Dream。此外,新锐美国混音师 dj Sniper 也贡献了一首作品。
“英文专辑的丰富内容不仅只在音乐方面,我们还更换了唱片的包装——从封面到内页,” Yulia 说:“当我们准备专辑时就知道,一种包装不能重复使用,所以这次我们不再用宇航员和火星风光,而是改成了衣衫褴褛的颓废女孩做封面!”
注:t.A.T.u. 俄文专辑《Happy Smiles》在苹果、亚马逊及其它主流网络音乐商店发行了数字版,该专辑在美国苹果商店流行音乐唱片销量中排名第25、所有唱片总销量 Top 100 中排名第92。
Chemically Happy (is the New Sad) Douban
8.5 (16 ratings) The Unbending Trees
release date 2008-10-06 publisher: Strange Feeling Records
About the Unbending Trees
Hailing from Budapest in Hungary, The Unbending Trees are a trio, and specialize in sparse, brutally honest, chamber ballads and slo-core pop.
Kristof Hajos (vocals, words) was a friar in a monastery at the age of 18, but was thrown out.
Havasi (piano) is a revered Hungarian classical pianist and graduated at the Hungarian Music Academy.
Peter Hary (bass, programming) lives in the countryside in Kecskemet and loves New Wave, New Romantics and Gary Numan.
4th December 2008 Andor Gabor, drummer and percussionist joined the band.
Between them they have conjured up a raw and poetic collection of songs that make up their debut album, 'Chemically Happy (Is The New Sad)', and dare we say it in this age of overstatement, have discovered a genuinely unique sound.
Discovered on MySpace by Ben Watt and signed to Strange Feeling (the alt- pop sister imprint to his acclaimed electronic label, Buzzin' Fly) The Unbending Trees made their arresting debut last autumn with London shows at the Betsey Trotwood and a four-track EP ('The First Day EP') that saw acclaim coming from Jim Gellatly at XFM Scotland, Radio 1's Rob Da Bank, The Observer's Molloy Woodcraft and underground tip-sheets like The Fly and Artrocker.
In the meantime, their UK acceptance has seen extraordinary things happen in their home country of Hungary with tracks like 'You Are A Lover' and 'Alfred's Lovesong' not only getting extensive radio play but also reaching the Top 10 on MTV Hungary with relentless rotation of their low-budget clips next to the pop and r'n'b hits of the day.
There is a gothic luminosity to the sound allied to a European intensity that recalls perhaps Scott Walker and Leonard Cohen, and Tracey Thorn was so taken with the songs and the live performances that she accepted the invitation to guest on one of the album’s finest moments, 'Overture'. You will love or hate this record. It demands an opinion. It is raw and unflinching, unique and honest. Open your heart to The Unbending Trees.

Let Me Sing Douban
Brenda Lee genre: Jazz
release date 1964-02 publisher: Decca
by Greg Adams
Even ardent consumers of Brenda Lee's prolific album output can be forgiven for feeling as though her '60s albums all began to sound the same. That impression only deepened as the decade wore on, but in 1963 Lee's bottomless fund of pop ballads could still seem fresh. Let Me Sing begins predictably enough with a Cole Porter song ("Night and Day") but also includes "Break It to Me Gently" -- one of Lee's greatest '60s hits -- and "Losing You." Bobby Darin's "You're the Reason I'm Living" is the kind of cover material preferable to the traditional pop songs that tended to dominate Lee's ballad albums, but Let Me Sing manages to sound vital where very similar albums failed later in her career. Not surprisingly, Let Me Sing was also Lee's second-to-last Top 40 album.
