The Zombies genre: Rock
release date 1968-01-01 publisher: Big Beat UK
The Zombies这个乐队相当不出名,Odessey and Oracle大概是让他们被人记住的唯一理由,因为他们好不容易出了这么一张像样的专辑就马上散伙了。这张专辑录制于1967年,录完后两个星期乐队就宣告解散。发行商直到1969年才把它翻出来听(个人认为很可能是打算听一遍就扔掉),然而听过之后,这个交好运的发行商忽然发现原来垃圾堆里也有宝贝,这张专辑才得以发行。 就是这样一张侥幸逃过灭顶之灾且知名度并不太高的唱片,在强手林立的滚石500张最强专辑中排名却高居第80位,并不是偶然的。滚石的编辑认为,这张专辑把类似于Beatles的那张Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band中的迷幻曲风和正在发展的英格兰流行音乐进行了很好的融合。我听过之后,觉得确实非常好听,单纯论好听的话,我认为不比Beatles那张Sgt' Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band差。如果不是因为乐队名气实在太小,我相信这张专辑还可以获得更高的名次,推荐! 这张专辑在1998年推出30周年纪念版,在原版12首歌基础上增加15首Bonus Track。2004年又再版一次,总曲目变为28首,这里发布的是2004年版本。

this, this long-playing record, a thing we made in the midst of communal mess, raising dogs and children. eyes up and filled with dreadful joy – we aimed for wrong notes that explode, a quiet muttering amplified heavenward. we recorded it all in a burning motorboat. (context as follows:) 1. UNDOING A LUCIFERIAN TOWERS – look at that fucking skyline! big lazy money writ in dull marble obelisks! imagine all those buildings much later on, hollowed out and stripped bare of wires and glass, listen- the wind is whistling through all 3,000 of its burning window-holes! 2. BOSSES HANG – labor, alienated from the wealth it creates, so that holy cow, most of us live precariously! kicking at it, but barely hanging on! also – the proud illuminations of our shortened lives! also – more of us than them! also – what we need now is shovels, wells, and barricades! 3. FAM / FAMINE – how they kill us = absentee landlord, burning high-rise. the loud panics of child-policemen and their exploding trigger-hands. with the dull edge of an arbitrary meritocracy. neglect, cancer maps, drone strike, famine. the forest is burning and... more releases September 22, 2017 PERSONNEL Aidan Girt: Drums David Bryant: Electric guitar, MG-One Efrim Manuel Menuck: Electric guitar, organ, OP-1 Karl Lemieux: 16mm film projections Mauro Pezzente: Electric bass Michael Moya: Electric guitar Sophie Trudeau: Violins, organ Thierry Amar: Contrebasse, electric bass Timothy Herzog: Drums GUESTS ON TRACK ONE Bonnie Kane (saxophone, flute, electronics) Craig Pederson (trumpet) Recorded by Greg Norman at Hotel 2 Tango and The Pines.

A Tribe Called Quest genre: Hip Hop
release date 1990-03-12 publisher: Jive
People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm is the debut album by the alternative hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest, released on April 17, 1990[11] on Jive Records. Though the album was well-received critically, it had little mainstream appeal. The album did earn the band a devoted following, however, within the alternative hip hop community. People's Instinctive Travels was praised for its inventive lyricism and bizarre sense of humor, mixed with socially aware and literate message tracks. It is one of three albums included in The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums. It also was certified gold by the RIAA on January 19, 1996. The record was given the perfect rating of 5 mics in The Source in 1990 — according to Pitchfork, it was the first album ever to receive this honor.

Slint genre: Rock

辑介绍: 香港MCB杂志评出的100张欧美最具革命性专辑之一,评语为:“美国后摇滚体系的先锋乐团,一张影响着整个后摇运动发展的导航唱片。” 存在于1987-1991年间的美国post-rock乐队,这是他们的第二张,也是最后一张完整的录音室专辑,专辑发行不久乐队即告解散。他们在音乐中大量使用吉他噪音和怪异的和弦来营造旋律和氛围,人声退居到很不显眼的位置。这张专辑被许多人认为是第一张后摇滚专辑,影响十分深远。专辑发行的时候,封套上留了个地址,希望有兴趣参与的女音乐人和他们联系。PJ Harvey曾经给这个地址去过信,但那时乐队已经不存在了。 关于Slint: (引自jickbin朋友在 的介绍) 肯塔基州路易维尔的 Slint 成军于 1987 年,在出版两张叫好不叫座的专辑《Tweez》(1989) 和《Spiderland》(1991) 后便宣告解散﹝1994 年出版的迷你辑《Slint》录制于 1990 年左右﹞,但影响力却随着团员四散新组的乐团,和无数受 Slint 启蒙而纷纷仿效的后进,而与日俱增。被众多媒体包括 Alternative Press、 Pitchfork 等选为90 年代百大专辑,NME、Melody Maker 等选为乐史百大专辑,由 Steve Albini 制作的 《Spiderland》是乐史第一张可以称作后摇滚的唱片。这个堂皇的冠冕虽然成就了后来 Slint 无与伦比的传奇名声,但实际上听过 Slint 音乐的人,其实少得可怜,不少人可能只听过 1995 年发的《Kids》原声带里收录的结束曲〈Good Morning Captain〉。但无庸置疑的,从 Polvo、June of 44、Dirty Three 到 Mogwai、Godspeed You Black Emporer!、Sigur Ros,Slint 的影响至今持续发酵。 ---

周杰伦 genre: Pop
release date 2000-11-13 publisher: BMG
在千禧年之際,華語樂壇正呈現百花齊放之勢。陶喆、王力宏等歌手以新穎的美式 R&B 風潮席捲樂壇,接班香港「四大天王」的通俗歌謠;而一張名為《杰倫》的專輯橫空出世,徹底寫下了流行音樂史的新扉頁,那些帶著好奇眼光買下專輯的聽眾,當時正目睹悄然揭開的新世代大幕。滿滿十首歌、迸發無限新奇的音樂元素,《杰倫》不落窠臼的風格和主題,毫無保留地體現這位新人的強烈個人特色,讓「周杰倫」這個曾經不見經傳的名字帶著新鮮感和衝擊力,第一次闖入大眾視野。 1997 年,18 歲的周杰倫受吳宗憲提攜,從選秀舞台上的鋼琴伴奏轉而進入阿爾發唱片擔任製作助理,歷經三年的幕後歷練,不斷證明自己的才華和潛力。童年時由鋼琴陪伴長大、高中就讀淡江中學音樂科,周杰倫自小就建立了扎實的音樂基礎,加上張學友的通俗曲調以及 Stevie Wonder 純正美國 R&B 的影響,讓他創作起流行音樂來可謂得心應手。 在阿爾發結識了同樣懷揣一肚子筆墨、無處施展的方文山後,兩人一拍即合,碰撞出精彩火花。這對華語樂壇重要的詞曲搭檔,以〈完美主義〉打下第一塊基石。在飄逸著巴洛克古典美學的弦樂和流暢大鍵琴音色編曲中,周杰倫的古典音樂素養一展無遺;而方文山從通俗的分手情節突然進入反覆念唱「周杰倫」的轉折,一發不可收拾地創作了大量反常規的歌詞。僅憑《杰倫》這張專輯,就有諸如把籃球寫得充滿火藥味的〈鬥牛〉、將一隻異域荒漠裡的老斑鳩當成主角的〈印地安老斑鳩〉等作品,在歌壇畫下一道奇異弧線。腦洞大開的音樂主題,也成了周杰倫日後作品時常出現的招牌類型。 而《杰倫》這張專輯最大的亮點,莫過於他對饒舌技巧的完美運用。〈反方向的鐘〉暗啞憂鬱的曲調裡那段陡然出現的 Rap,堪稱整首歌的點睛之筆。而〈娘子〉則完美體現了周杰倫對中文饒舌的獨到理解,不僅在那個年代就玩上了如今時髦的 Mumble Rap 元素,更以獨特唱腔讓人聲和律動完美融合,消除了中文聲調對饒舌表現力的限制,影響力綿延至今。而〈娘子〉滿滿的江湖兒女意境,也是周杰倫和方文山兩人初試啼聲的「中國風」,有著開宗立派的重要意義。 陪伴一代人青春的情歌記憶盒,也從〈可愛女人〉中他向華語樂壇發出的第一聲「Woo」開始。〈星晴〉舒展的旋律鋪灑無邊無際的浪漫,加上許多由師姐徐若瑄填下的歌詞,賦予了周杰倫情歌一絲感性柔光,尤其兩人合作的〈龍捲風〉更成為《杰倫》這張專輯中傳唱度最廣的作品之一。 貴人相助再加上自己多年歷練,周杰倫的才華終得迸發,讓《杰倫》這張專輯一出手便成為巔峰之作,也以新人姿態拿下次年金曲獎最佳流行音樂專輯大獎。在整個歌壇當時還處於「後知後覺」的時候,專輯封面上這個靦腆的捲髮男孩,正朝著未來一代新「天王」的模樣快速成長。 一直以音乐制作人身份从事作词、作曲、编曲等工作的周杰伦,18岁时因创作吴宗宪的“屋顶”、“三暝三日”、“你比从前快乐”;许茹芸的“蜗牛”;王力宏的“打开爱”以及徐若宣的“姐你睡了吗?”等歌曲打开了知名度。害羞、内向似邻家大男孩的他凭着新作“可爱女人”的强力宣传,从幕后走到幕前成为歌坛耀眼的新人,首张同名专辑《周杰伦》于2000年11月3日在台湾正式发行。 专辑中周杰伦一手包办了10首歌的作曲、合声编写、3首歌的编曲以及2首歌的作词。整体曲风充斥着他对音乐的超高技术创作,以R&B和New Hip-Hop的新曲为主,加上古典巴洛克式弦乐伴奏及Band的加入,形成一种英国式的复古风格。最特别的是尝试了西班牙式风格的弦乐演奏,表现在专辑歌曲中,意境却出忽意料的极度逼近电影配乐。 主打歌“可爱女人”的Music Video邝盛执导,徐若?出任女主角,导演巧妙地安排给两人一段有想象空间的剧情桥段。 由于周杰伦与徐若宣是多年好友,又加上在音乐上多次的愉快合作,徐若宣特地为这张专辑的三首歌填词。其中一首“伊斯坦堡”更是她在亲临土耳其伊斯坦堡时所写。两人密切的合作,相信在听觉上、视觉上必能带给歌迷前所未有的新鲜感受。 在大众都已进化到音乐所带来的听觉感官十分细腻的同时,便需要周杰伦这样新的创作。不再只是概念式叙事的音效,及民歌情调流行乐和新电子风,听他的音乐,可以是幻想的,幻想着快乐,超越空间与时间的束缚,是惊讶的、是舒服的。

Kraftwerk genre: Electronic
release date 1977-01-01 publisher: Capitol
Trans Europa Express/Trans-Europe Express was the first Kraftwerk album to be mixed in two entirely separate versions, one in German, the other in English. In addition, a French language version of 'Showroom Dummies' entitled 'Les Mannequins' was included on French pressings of the album (which otherwise features the English mix). Most German pressings (as well as the 2009 remastered reissues) list 'Metall Auf Metall' as two separate tracks, the second part entitled 'Abzug'. Most other versions only list 'Metal On Metal', but include both tracks. The original German pressing (and many of the other editions) features a monochrome portrait by New York photographer Maurice Seymour, with the group dressed in suits to resemble mannequins. A highly retouched colour photo montage of the group by J. Stara is used for the British, American and other editions. A color collage of the group sitting at a small cafe table designed by Emil Schult was used for the inner sleeve. Most of the 2009 reissues feature a simplified monochrome 'TEE' design. The original German release includes a colour poster of the Emil Schult image.

2000 PONDEROSA MUSIC&art 《Stepmother City》(继母之城) 一张结合了电子,前卫爵士,人声实验的经典专辑, 无论是轻松写意的<<Let the Sunshine>>,用英语和图瓦语演唱的<< Tuva Bluse >>,展示超高音技巧的<<Ritual Virtuality>>还是在TRIP-HOP中与爵士SAXPHONE对话的<<Order to Survive>>, SAINKHO都表现出从来未曾有过的多变与自信,她的表现完全超越了民族音乐,长调,双声唱法以及任何音乐形式的界定.尤其是在长达7分44秒的<<Lonely Soul>>(孤寂灵魂)之中, SAINKHO将老爵士唱腔,迷幻的阴沉电子曲风,已臻化境的声音实验技巧运用得淋漓尽致,我当时想:所谓”杀人于无形”的境界,也就应当是这样了吧. 爱极了这张专辑的“Introduction”(序曲),伴随着迷离的采样以及蒙古潮尔低音演唱,来自纽约的前卫爵士演奏家Ned Rothenberg(曾经与SAINKHO于1996年录制人声即兴专辑 "Amulet",并与 John Zorn, , Fred Frith等实验音乐家合作多年)用图瓦笛苏尔(由一种”芒达勒西”的草本植物掏空做成)吹奏出一段苍凉的旋律,----那真是一段令人头皮发麻曲调的啊. 而最后一首8分44秒的<<Boomerang>>则将一分半钟的环境声采样留给了我们,伴随着山谷里的流水声和鸟鸣,另外一个属于SAINKHO的世界开始在听者意念中展开…...
