David Gray genre: Pop
release date 2000-03-21 publisher: Ato Records
David Gray's glorious fourth record explodes in a wellspring of spacious, electronica-tinged folk-pop. He uses his bright growl of a voice to memorable effect, chewing on vowel sounds while spinning odes to lost love, the resiliency of young hearts, and the pain of experience. Gray's work finds the universality at the heart of folk music and tweaks it just enough to make it relevant for alternative audiences. --Matthew Cooke

很标志性的一张了,大姑妈版的Pinball wizard编曲真的有悲凉感,虽然在Tommy里基本就是蛇精病…以及突然意识到为什么rocketman里只有唱这首歌时不打字幕,是因为只有这首不是Bernie的词吧

Songs from the West Coast

release date 2001-10-02 publisher: Universal
自从\'92年打破猫王纪录,英国钢琴怪杰Elton John连续22年都有单曲入主Billboard单曲榜前40名,至今更缔造30年排行榜不缺席纪录,而出道至今全球唱片销售总数已逾1亿5千万张。 新世纪的首张大碟《Songs From The West Coast》(西岸之歌)大胆增添新意,这次Elton John仍旧和最懂他音乐的填词伙伴Bernie Taupin通力完成,并以全面同步收音的效果录制,让整张专辑十二轨统统听得到。开场曲“The Emperor\'s New Clothes”舍弃华丽编曲,以纯净的钢琴伴奏,领御整张专辑的风格,与他早期专辑Tumbleweed Connection、Madman Across the Water骨子里的精神如出一辙。另外,他特别学习Burt Bachrach及Hal David风格创作了“This Train Don\'t Stop There Anymore”;同时也有相当贴近时事脉动的作品,像首支录制的单曲“American Triangle”,即讲述怀俄明州一名同性恋年轻人惨遭谋杀的故事,以及如“Tiny Dancer”般旋律隽永的爱滋病悲歌“Ballad Of The Boy In The Red Shoes”等。

恭喜金球提名,作为今年听得最多的专辑之一还是要给五星,毕竟是为了电影效果而作的编曲,感染力达到了就是成功,塔实际能唱得更细腻。I’m gonna love me again一定是最有诚意的片尾曲,虽然被幻灯片分散掉了观众注意力有点可惜…

Merrie Land

The Good, the Bad & the Queen genre: Rock
release date 2018-11-16 publisher: Rykodisc (Warner Music Austria)
Merrie land is the second album from The Good, The Bad and The Queen, a band comprising of Damon Albarn, Paul Simonon, Tony Allen and Simon Tong. Their debut album from 2007 traced a journey from the English music hall tradition to West Africa and Afrobeat, zigzagging through the West Indies and its reggae and dub, back to England and London's punk scene, all the while taking in a strand of British beat music from the '50s right through to Britpop. The result was a record specific to a place and mood but with a background that was geographically wide-ranging. Now the four musical storytellers are back with a new studio album titled Merrie Land. Produced by Tony Visconti and The Good, The Bad and The Queen was completed in London and Wales this year, during the current ongoing period in which the UK is preparing to leave the European Union, Merrie Land is a questioning good-bye letter, a series of observations and reflections on Britishness in 2018. Even though it has been over 10 years since the band last released a record, the timing could not be more apt – there could not be a more perfect band to untangle the optimism, disorientation and confusion in the atmosphere today. With Merrie Land, the band taps into a creative symbiosis of past and future, drawing inspiration from their shared glittering musical histories and wrapping the hybrid results in a brilliantly postmodern yet thoroughly British package. The album sees the band’s focus move beyond London with a beautiful and hopeful paean to the Britain of today - an inclusive Britain - and the possibilities of the future. In the band’s own words, Merrie Land is a ten song lament of Anglo-Saxosentialism marking the reluctant end of a relationship, and about picking up the pieces and seeing what can be salvaged. The band set a beautifully muted palette and lustrous finish to bring out a mood that is bruised yet unapologetically defiant and optimistic, and carries the underlying message: we will survive. In times of metaphysical trauma, the people need to forge ahead and wear armour. Here it is, set to the mood music of a nation about to be broken yet undefeated.

Brian Eno / Moebius … genre: Electronic
release date 1978-03-16 publisher: Sky
Brian Eno's second album collaboration with Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius of Cluster consists of slow-moving instrumentals full of repeated synthesizer sound patterns and sustained guitar notes in the ambient style familiar from Eno's collaborations with Robert Fripp and albums of his own, such as Discreet Music. One song, 'Broken Head,' features recited vocals by Eno, and on another, 'The Belldog,' he sings. On 'Tzima N'arki,' his vocal is turned backwards.
