Radiohead的处女作《Pablo Honey》虽然十分出色,但现在看来它更像是乐队在为这一张更加舒展的经典《The Bends》所做的准备,热身。同《Pablo Honey》一样,这张唱片的整体音乐构架仍然是建立在不断回旋缭绕的吉他声音之上,三把吉他共同奏出的断断续续的旋律不仅仅是唱片中最为精彩的部分,同时也成为了Radiohead的音乐标志。这种用最传统的乐器所奏出来的不同声响在听觉上创造了一种有力的回馈,它将听者的欲望和痛苦共同挖掘了出来。同时从某种程度上说《The Bends》又是一张深受前人影响的摇滚专辑,偶尔从唱片中你会发现U2,Pink Floyd,R.E.M甚至是The Pixies的影子,但是Radiohead将前人的音乐手法用不同的音乐气质进行了一个极为另类的演绎--专辑中的音乐极具空间感,却并不像Pink Floyd蒙胧缥缈,这就让歌曲听起来更加具有生命力,更富有执着的感情。Thom Yorke那些充满了反复的自问,纠缠,扭曲和欲望的歌词赋予了唱片另外一种忧郁的气质,在音乐之外,一股精神暗流通过他时而温柔时而神经质的演唱传达给了听众。Thom的嗓音应该是让人温暖的,但当感情爆发的时候,你依然能见到它高亢的一面,在汹涌的音乐下这病人般的声音实在令人无法自拔。等到这张唱片出现的时候,摇滚乐已经走过了四十年的路程,而《The Bends》却还是轻易的成为了经典,这正是因为Radiohead在努力创造独特的音乐情绪的同时也保留了摇滚乐的爆发力和极佳的旋律性,这使得这张唱片不仅仅得到了评论家的一致好评,同时也在市场上获得了巨大的成功。直白的说,《The Bends》是一张让你第一次聆听就能被深深吸引,而在接下来的每一次听觉过程中又都能发现新的音乐细节和聆听乐趣的摇滚专辑。

最初,Blur是众多Stone Roses时期的英国乐队之一。风格属于迷幻的流行吉他(psuedo-psychedelic guitar-pop),只是没有嘈杂的吉他。随着90年代初期翻唱风的盛行,小组成为英国最受欢迎的乐队之一,并奠定其继the Kinks, the Small Faces, the Who, the Jam, Madness, 和the Smiths之后英国的guitar-pop风格的继承人的地位。在这个过程中,小组创立了一种被称做Brit-pop的新的风格。乐队歪曲的歌词及对英国流行风格的准确把握使其成为了Brit-pop的领头人。但是Blur很快就几乎被运动限制住了;因为他们使最主要的乐队,所以当运动进行不下去时乐队也几乎支撑不下去了。通过一些混合了indie-rock和lo-fin的重新创作,在90年代末,作为一支art-pop乐队,Blur重新振作起来并在97年在美国取得了巨大的成功。不过乐队以前的风格还是在英国保留了下来。通过巧妙的为本国的流行风格注入新的元素,他们重新振兴了guitar-pop并将它带入了90年代。 Blur在1989年组建于伦敦,最初起名为Seymour. 经过了大量的演出并录制了一盘样带后,乐队签约于EMI的子公司--Food唱片,并在公司负责人的建议下将更名为Blur. 第一首单曲 "She's So High" 和随后的There's No Other Way 分别登上Top 50和Top Ten。这两首歌都被收录到首张专辑 Leisure 中。虽然这张专辑受到了赞许并未当时死气沉沉的曼彻斯特的流行乐坛带来了新鲜空气,一些记者仍然认为乐队是包装出来的青春偶像而不予理睬。在随后的两年中,Blur 一直在努力摆脱第一张专辑的影子。 在1992年推出的单曲 " Pop Scene " 是 Blur 第一次尝试改变他们的音乐路线。这首歌的风格更加朋克,曲调更加紧凑和吸引人。不过 Blur 在 " Pop Scene " 中的成长并不适合英美1992年的流行风格,因而遭受惨败。随着单曲在商业上的失败,Blur开始准备他们的第二张专辑Modern Life Is Rubbish。 经过了一年半的反复录制。Modern Life Is Rubbish在1993年五月推出. 秋季在美国上市。这张专辑在英国受到好评,最高排名15,但是仍然没能在美国引起反响。 Modern Life Is Rubbish是Blur出片史上的一次艰难旅程。在1994年四月,Parklife面市了。这张专辑排行榜首并使乐队迈入了演员的行列。新的舞曲风格的单曲"Girls and Boys"在英国登上了排行榜第五名,在美国为52名,而专辑则根本榜上无名。 随着Parklife的成功,Blur为英国的indie-guitar乐队开辟了一条道路。这些乐队(Oasis, Elastica, Pulp, the Boo Radleys, Supergrass, Gene, Echobelly, Menswear等)成为了英国90年代中期乐坛的主宰。在1995年初,Parklife获得三白金并成为了巨星。在95年上半年,乐队着手录制第四张专辑。并推出了选自专辑的新的单曲"Country House"。这是为了与其对手Oasis新推出的单曲“Roll with It"对抗。虽然他们赢了这场单曲大战。但并不是最终的赢家。在1996年初,Blur的新专辑The Great Escape只卖出了一点点。尤其是在其再一次的冲击美国市场失败之后,Blur成了过时货。而Oasis已经大获全胜。 面对媒体的不利宣传和公众的不支持, Blur在1996年初几乎解散.但是他们决定暂时离开闪光灯一年.在一年结束之后,Albarn宣布他不再对英国音乐感兴趣,而是迷上了美国的indie-rock.这些影响在Blur 的第五张专辑Blur中表现了出来.这张在1997年2月推出的专辑并没有在英国受到热烈欢迎. 专辑及其主打歌曲 "Beetlebum"一推出即登上了冠军的宝座,但是不久就迅速的下滑.因为小组的大部分听众并不完全接受他们的新形象.但是乐队改头换面的新形象为它在美国赢得了听众.在那里Blur受到热烈关注并开始走红起来.这在很大程度上归功于单曲 "Song 2"的走红.墙内开花墙外香,Blur在美国的成功最终又补给到了英国.到了1999年春天,专辑排名第13了.

80年代末期英国流行音乐进入低潮,曾创造英国新浪潮音乐的曼彻斯特,这期间也变得萧条。正当英国音乐将在沉闷中进入90年代的时候,一支叫做“石玫瑰”(The Stone Roses)的乐队出现了,1989年,他们的第一张专辑的出版,使英国“独立摇滚”(Indie-Rock)现象进入了新的时代。 “石玫瑰”也顺理成章地成了曼彻斯特独立摇滚界的领袖,这张专辑在音乐上很明显地受到了60年代美国民歌摇滚乐队“飞鸟”(The Byrds)的影响,同时也受到了80年代刚刚形成潮流趋势的Acid House舞曲音乐影响。他们把吉他流行乐与“独立摇滚”相融合并且进一步刺激了跳舞文化的发展,很快被传媒赋予了“新迷幻音乐”的称号。 “石玫瑰”受到乐迷欢迎最主要的是伊恩·布朗(Ian Brown)那漫不经心地演唱和孤傲、超然的性格;诱人的吉他演奏片段和起伏的节奏。不管是专辑中59秒的“我亲爱的伊丽莎白”(Elizabeth My Dear)还是近10分钟的“傻瓜金子”(Fools Gold)都显示了他们这方面的才能。专辑的前四首歌:“我要被崇拜了”(I Wanna Be Adored)、“她敲鼓”(She Bangs The Drums)、“大象石头”(Elephant Stone)和“瀑布”(Waterfall)清新简洁的编配和流畅的旋律使当时徘徊在乏味的英国音乐中的人们感到为之一振。 尽管“石玫瑰”引导了英国独立音乐的跳舞潮流,但是,他们的这张具有重大意义的唱片仅仅显露一点跳舞音乐的迹象。而真正把舞曲音乐发扬光大的是他们的同乡“808同盟”(808 States)和“快乐星期一”(Happy Mondays)。 但时间证明这张专辑的价值,嗡嗡的吉他声也能把跳舞音乐带给了听众,新浪潮音乐的复苏和新迷幻音乐的再生,并且能在90年代的流行音乐中不断地听到对这张专辑的回应之声。

这同样也是张冠军专辑,让人惊叹于Suede的魔力,不过你会意识到在合成器大师Steve Osbourne的指导下,这张专辑真的有些不一样了。安德森学会了如何控制合成器,并在它的带领下创作旋律,而主音吉他手Richard Oakes也不得不放下心爱的吉他打起了太极。 这张专辑的灵感来源主要来自于在英国兴起的吹泡运动,而药味十足的Tricky则成了主创的新宠。

The Britpop Story (2006)
Douban
actor: John Harris / Justine Frischmann …
The Britpop Story was a documentary aired on BBC Four about the Britpop movement which occurred in Britain during the 1990s. The show was hosted by John Harris, who interviewed Elastica frontwoman Justine Frischmann and Louise Wener of the band Sleeper. The show started with a look at grunge music and how British music was at an all-time low. It charted with the development of Blur, Suede, Elastica and Sleeper. Harris recalled the time when he was at the "Good Mixer" pub in Camden Town, London with Noel and Liam Gallagher, on a "sightseeing" trip, when future rival Graham Coxon was there. There was further information on other Britpop groups, such as Menswear. There was a focus of Tony Blair and his support of Oasis, as well as showing the decline of the movement.
