香港独立音乐杂志MCB选出的百张欧美最具革命性的专辑之一,评语是“堪与Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band比拼的迷幻专辑,是他们“历年来想象力最为丰富的作品”。这张专辑纯粹是滚石乐队为了和Beatles一比高下而推出的,虽然没有获胜,但在英国当年排行榜第三,美国排行榜第二,也算虽败犹荣了。

兄弟本是逍遥客 什么大山大河哥们儿没见过 说过多少再见从来都笑着 第一杯敬万古江河 第二杯敬所有流离失所 喝! 兄弟本是逍遥客 多少星辰日月哥们儿都穿梭 数不清的悲欢离合擦肩过 心的墙上 伤心者都雕刻 伤心的事儿从不记得! 我问一个朋友——“我是个什么?” 他说,你是个风筝。 怎么讲? 飘飘荡荡,来去无踪,忽高忽低,逍遥自在。可始终被根线牵着,线的那头,是感情。 逍遥客,被根线拽着,如何能称逍遥? 线断了,倏忽没牵挂,却沦为伤心者。 有意思。 对了,讲一个故事。 一个朋友,叫做老王,是个小店的店员。有一天,他决定骑自行车从北京到武汉,给喜欢的姑娘送一个花瓶,他们是网友,花瓶上写了一句她喜欢的歌词。前一天还是个戴眼镜,说话轻声细语,办事有点肉吞吞的腼腆小伙子,说走就走,把头一剃,晒一身铜皮,一路上,把田野、河流、桥、卖菜的农民和孩子拍成照片,任初夏的风声、虫鸣、擦肩而过的轰响住进耳朵,让朋友们眼红、激动、紧张,每天如同看公路小说连载,期待着他的下一段旅途直播,好一个逍遥客! 骑了十天,一千三百多公里,他到了。姑娘拒绝见他。他托人把花瓶送过去,当天夜里,坐上了回北京的动车。此刻的他是个伤心者吗?我不得而知,写下这段文字的时候,他还在火车上。 这是我的第二张个人专辑。 同时,它还是我发明的一个游戏,一副棋,专辑的竹盒里,有棋盘,有棋子。 跋山涉水遇见你,朋友,与我下一盘棋。 ——小老虎 2013.5.25

林生祥 genre: Soundtrack
release date 2017-06-02 publisher: 山下民謠
這張《大佛普拉斯》電影原聲帶,由林生祥操刀製作、作曲 (曲3、曲8為早川徹作曲),生祥樂隊老班底-早川徹、大竹研,加上鼓手樹葉(廖柏鈞)共同編曲、演奏(曲14鼓為吳政君)。儘管我尚未看過電影本身,但聽完全碟14首曲子,便已在腦海中油然浮現出許多歡愉的,詼諧的,童趣的,孤寂的,荒謬的人物場景故事,每一首曲子都極具故事性,饒富畫面感。 若擺脫「這是一張電影配樂專輯」的框架來聽,純就音樂性論,這張專輯曲風之多元,除民謠、爵士兩大音樂元素外,還揉合了台灣地方小調、日式演歌調,南洋風、加勒比海風甚至還有衝浪(Surf)風,這些都是過往在生祥樂的創作中少見的曲風融合,不得不讓人敬佩這群音樂人的創作造詣與演奏實力。 某方面,我認為這張電影原聲帶無疑提供了林生祥、早川徹、大竹研一個冒險的舞台,各自玩了自己很想嘗試,卻無法在生祥樂隊的專輯概念中實現的多元曲風融合。另一方面,天方爵士鼓手葉子帶來的刺激,也是讓林生祥、早川徹、大竹研這對老搭檔激發出新意新象的另一亮點。 《大佛普拉斯》整張專輯是在麗風錄音室,由徐玉光師錄製,混音與母帶後期則由與生祥長年合作的Wolfgang Obrecht操刀。先前我就已盛讚這張專輯的錄製水準極高,質地、音色、音質、音場、動態、分離度都已臻頂級錄音作品之境。為何這張作品可以錄製得那麼好,關鍵在於各樂手錄音當下,作曲人暨製作人林生祥便很確定每一樣配器的音色、呼吸、句法的抑揚頓挫與形體比例該當何是,才能符合全曲所需。而每一位樂手的演奏功力之高,也都能恰到好處,恰如其分地錄到那個接近最終成品的水準。據悉,負責混音的Wolfgang 幾乎沒有對各配器音軌作過多修飾與後天處理,全部套在一起的粗剪混音就已非常和諧平衡,精彩動人。如果說錄音、混音、後製的每一項處理,包括增益,嚴格說來都是對原音原色原訊源的「減法」,而非「加法」,當事後修補的越少,整張專輯聽來當然就更至真,至善,至美,甚至更無數位感了。 《大佛普拉斯》,音樂性與音響性兼具且高,誠心推薦。

欣赏JAY复古新造型: 更有深度�周杰伦《叶惠美》 近日转会加盟新公司的周杰伦,同时推出了其年度国语专辑《叶惠美》,收录11首个人独唱歌曲。虽然新碟的惊喜不大,但仍保持着阿Jay一贯的个人风格(其实这正是乐迷最喜欢的),而且多首歌曲亦较以往更有深度,故此并不算「原地踏步」。再者,当中某几首歌曲,更是惹人钟爱之作,相信这专辑依然会得到不少乐迷支持。 「以父之名」故事性强,歌词用了很多不同的景物去呈现歌中「教父」那懊恼与痛苦的心境,令听者能有更立体更实在的感受。此歌的编曲方面亦富歌剧味道,与歌曲的整体感觉与主题配合。 近期经常在电视上听到的广告歌「你听得到」,是首较大路的作品,旋律流畅动听,歌词则温馨但不特别。曲词动人的「爱的悬崖」运用了大量的弦乐,阿Jay的诠释富感情,能表达出歌中的无奈与伤感。作词人徐若�近年填的词都讨好,言简意远,可惜题材不广,未能在词坛创作更大成就。 「三年二班」写出许多朋友在年青时的疑问与心声,整首歌让人有一种说不出的感受,勾起了听者许多许多的回忆。仿古的「东风破」不仅曲子有味道,方文山写的歌词更精彩,非但用字优美,一向注重韵脚的他,填得很有韵味。 揉合了中乐、少数民族音乐及西方乐器的「梯田」,唱出「物换星移,故地不再」的唏嘘,不过头几句揶揄方文山写词慢的几句,真的十分搞笑。「双刀」是阿Jay专辑必备之作,正如前作「双截棍」及「龙拳」般,总觉得阿Jay中李小龙毒太深,此歌的吸引力只属一般。 其它歌曲方面,情歌「晴天」、写一见如故的「同一种调调」及摇滚味重的「懦夫」亦不容错过。 谁是「叶惠美」� 周杰伦 (Jay) 每次出碟,除了在音乐上带给大家惊奇外,就连专辑名称都会让人有无限的想象空间,如之前《范特西》、《八度空间》。这次Jay的新专辑,光看专辑名称「叶惠美」就够吸引了,但也让歌迷在心中打了一个大问号,究竟「叶惠美」是何许人也?可以让Jay用他的名字作为专辑名称?原来在他的新专辑中第一波强打主打歌为「以父之名」,为了以示公平,想象力丰富的Jay灵机一动,就用母亲的名字「叶惠美」作为专辑名称来平衡一下,因此专辑名称「叶惠美」原由在此。

FLOWER BOY, is the new and long awaited album from Tyler, The Creator. The album follows up 2015's Cherry Bomb, and is available digitally and on CD. The first track and self-directed video to be released from FLOWER BOY was "Who Dat Boy" featuring A$AP Rocky, along with a second track "911/Mr. Lonely," which feature Steve Lacy and Frank Ocean, respectively. FLOWER BOY is a 14-song album, and the physical version of the CD features two unique covers, the first one designed by Tyler himself and the other by artist Eric White. It is only fitting that Tyler would commission White, whose paintings have been described by Leah Ollman of The Los Angeles Times as being "nostalgic and at the same time also vaguely futuristic, even dystopian," to visually articulate the world of FLOWER BOY.

Get Ready is the seventh studio album by English musical group New Order. Released in August 2001 this was the group's first album in eight years, following 1993's Republic. Peter Hook said of the album's title, "The title of the album is 'Get Ready' so it could mean anything or nothing. I thought it was just nice, New Order, 'Get Ready', 'cos we are, we're getting ready for the next phase of our musical lives both physically and mentally so it's quite a simple thing but it's very pertinent." The album was dedicated to Rob Gretton, the manager of Joy Division and New Order, who died in 1999. Keith Strickland, guitarist for the New Wave act The B-52's stated the sounds of "Get Ready" inspired him to make the sound for the B-52's 2008 album Funplex. The band The Killers took their name from the band playing in the "Crystal" video. "Someone Like You" appears in the independent film Haggard: The Movie. The album features a cover art directed by Peter Saville and designed by Howard Wakefield who have also designed covers for New Order and Joy Division albums. The cover model is German actress Nicolette Krebitz. In 2009, "Slow Jam" was used in a Visa advertising campaign.

这是一张非常时代感与都会感的专辑,让城市恋人痛彻心扉,感同身受,不光是因为Tanya穿透人心的声音,也是因为每首歌所探讨的主题都围绕在城市黑夜里每一段交织的情爱氛围,挣扎、无助、放纵、寂寞、自由、出口......所有都会人关于爱情、之于生活最真切的心情写照。 专辑架构以Tanya的创作为主,除了Tanya本身,由黄韵仁、Kenn .C、Adam担纲制作, Tanya保留在商业通俗中呈现独特专属的质感与气味,突破“记念”的经典之后,营造一种更深刻的意境,单就音乐的本质在聆听上,自然散发的产生感同身受,人性化情感力量的渲染,词意的精准与深切完全打动都会恋人的心情。 这一次特别收录诠释陶吉吉“沙滩”,陶吉吉在流行乐坛的影响力有目共睹,更可说是所有创作艺人的模范。而对Tanya来说,如何赋予这首歌创新的想法,是最大的压力也是对自我的挑战。于是,一个弹吉他爱唱歌的女生就带了随身的MD到了一个海边的沙滩,一边走著一边录下自己的脚步声的前奏,然后在铺陈海浪的空间音与娓娓唱出的细腻声线中,沉浸一股淡淡blue Jazz的氛围,流连忘返之余,我们听见了Tanya全新的“沙滩”,制造了一个迥然不同的想像空间。 整张专辑设计由Intro渐渐导入,在姚谦、小寒、易家扬等创作人独特词意文字的铺陈下,坠落爱情的无底洞,不断深陷、不断坠落,无法自拔,是一种高潮起伏的刻骨铭心;失去你,我得了夜盲症诉尽所有都会女子隐藏坚强外表下的脆弱和不安;陌生人“我不难过了 甚至真心希望你能幸福 当我了解你只活在记忆里头 我不恨你了 甚至感谢这样不期而遇 当我从你眼中发现 我已是 陌生人了”,让所有分手的恋人感同身受的共鸣;爱情的路主流情歌的曲式,描绘女人在爱情里的无奈,白话的词意叙述,让人咀嚼其中哀伤的滋味,轻易触动人心;有问题在轻快的吉他摇滚节奏中,用爱情比喻盗版,打破现有流行乐的逻辑;你说则是国语翻唱在台从未曝光的英文专辑曲目,所有歌曲,情歌动人心弦却不矫情;快歌自由随性没有压力。 因此,follow整体的音乐情感,像是一部爱恨交织、悲喜交加的剧情片电影,以“陌生人”的concept贯穿全场:爱情将两个陌生人变成恋人,又将恋人变成形同陌路的游戏,我们却仍然不断深陷、不断坠落,在感情的无底洞里不能自拔。
