2004.6.15 【色鸟辑录vol 15】The Eels: Electro-Shock Blues d34040y9ne3.jpg ----------------------------------------------------- ightBlue>Released: October 20, 1998 Label: DreamWorks Genre: Adult Alternative Pop/Rock , Alternative Pop/Rock Reviews: The Eels second release, Electro-Shock Blues, is a much darker album than their underrated debut, 1996s Beautiful Freak, but just as rewarding. Singer/guitarist/songwriter (E) experienced many upheavals in his personal life between albums (the passing of several family members and close friends), and decided to work his way through lifes tribulations via his music. The result is a spectacular epic work, easily on par with such classic albums cut from the same cloth -- Neil Youngs Tonights The Night, Lou Reeds Magic And Loss, etc. For some of the most introspective and haunting tunes of recent times, look no further than the title track, Last Stop: This Town, and Elizabeth on the Bathroom Floor. And although the lyrics deal almost entirely with mortality, the music for Hospital Food, Cancer for the Cure, and Going to Your Funeral Part I is comparable to Becks funky noise, while Efils God, The Medication Is Wearing Off, and My Descent Into Madness are all ethereal, soothing compositions. One of the finest and fully realized records of 1998, a must-hear. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide

2004.6.16 【色鸟辑录vol 16】The Essex Green: Long Goodbye f75656do758.jpg -----------------------------------------------------.spun Released: April 08, 2003 Label: Merge Genre: Chamber Pop , Indie Pop , Neo-Psychedelia Reviews: The Essex Greens second album continued in the Elephant 6 spirit of their debut (although it came out on Merge, not Elephant 6): music highly reminiscent of pop-psychedelia of the last half of the 1960s, though not slavishly revivalist. Its the vibe of those times (and much more the pop than the psych) that informs the record, rather than the aping of specific formulas. At the same time, comparisons to those vintage days are going to be inevitable, and theres a little bit of a pastiche feel to the result, though its brought off with upbeat wit. Certainly the arcing pop/rock harmonics of Badfinger and the Beach Boys are echoed in one of the better cuts, the opening By the Sea. A Moe Tucker-type drum pattern helps make The Late Great Cassiopia sound a little like the Velvet Underground gone power pop, Lazy May has a little bit of Lee Hazlewoods oddball cowboy pop/rock, Old Dominion fuses late-60s country-rock Byrds with the cheesy exotica of early-60s Joe Meek productions, and Berlin sounds like it might have been cut after some intense listening to psych-folk-rockers Kaleidoscopes Please. Indeed, theres a great deal of variety to the record, something that sets them apart from the vast majority of the bands that pay homage to the 60s, but also something that keeps them from developing a distinct identity. One way to do that might have been to give more emphasis to the lead vocals of Sasha Bell, whose confidently cheery style makes her by far the best singer in the group.

2004.6.18 【色鸟辑录vol 18】Beck-Sea Change f48817e1tkg.jpg -----------------------------------------------------------from internet 艺人:Beck(美国) 唱片:Sea Change 风格:Alternative Pop 厂牌:Universal Beck用他的便携式录音机、键盘、鼓机和吉他创造了属于九十年代junk文化自己的音乐。他吸取了hip-hop、民谣、实验摇滚、迷幻、流行乐和早期摇滚乐的养分,结合了扭曲而刻薄的歌词,将其融合成了一种既丰富多彩又邋遢肮脏的后现代摇滚。其折衷主义的音乐明显是一种九十年代的产物,影响他的东西几乎都是来自于电视和唱片的,而现实生活的经验则无所作为。他的音乐在音质方面是属于垃圾级的,但这正是使他显得独特的地方。 Beck得到业界瞩目是在1994初,他的那首hip-hop民谣单曲“Loser”在全美国的非主流摇滚电台中被广为播放,他在之后迅速由一个独立小厂牌的小人物变成了大厂牌争夺战的焦点。最后他签约于著名的DGC,原因是DGC允许他在其它独立公司发行自己非商业的作品。之后他推出了处女作《Mellow Gold》,专辑得到了如潮赞誉,很快就成了一张金唱片,“Loser”也打入了Top10 Ten。不过Beck对于音乐探索的兴趣始终未减,在《Mellow Gold》发行后不久,Beck在两个不同的独立厂牌下便发行了两张不同风格的专辑:一张是更躁、更实验化的《Stereopathetic Soul Manure》、另一张是展现其民谣根源的《One Foot in the Grave》,尽管是在独立厂牌下发行,但其发行数字依然相当不错.1995年,Beck参加了非主流摇滚的顶尖盛会Lollapalooza,随后在1996年发行了在DGC旗下的第二张专辑《Odelay》,评论完全是一边倒的欢呼,《Odelay》中的一些歌词甚至成了当年许多普通美国人的口头禅。当年许多大牌杂志和评论家均将此专辑列为年度专辑,连一贯保守的格莱美也给予了这张专辑数项提名.1998年,专《Mutations》发行,次年,受灵魂乐影响的《Midnite Vultures》发行.前不久Beck新专辑刚刚推出,听了听确实给人一种梦幻般的感受. 1.The Golden Age 2.Paper Tiger 3.Guess I’m Doing Fine 4.Lonesome Tears 5.Lost Cause 6.Nothing I Haven’t Seen 7.All In Your Mind 8.Round The Bend 9.Already Dead 10.Sunday Sun 11.Little One 12.Side Of The Road ---------------------------------------------------

2004.6.19 【色鸟辑录vol 19】camera obscura - underachievers please try harder g17919hpqhn.jpg --------------------------------------------------------------from internet Released: January 20, 2004 Label: Merge Genre: Indie Pop :: Track Listing 1. Suspended from Class 2. Keep It Clean 3. A Sisters Social Agony 4. Teenager 5. Before You Cry 6. Your Picture 7. Number One Son 8. Let Me Go Home 9. Books Written for Girls 10. Knee Deep at the NPL 11. Lunar Sea 12. I Dont Want to See You
  • 13. Footloose and Fancy Free
  • 14. Teenager [Mpeg Video] Reviews: Camera Obscura have no doubt worn out their copy of If Youre Feeling Sinister by now. Yes, their fellow Glasgow residents Belle & Sebastian are a huge influence on the group as the two share a similar musical sound, a similarly literate lyrical slant, and a similar overall approach. Look at it as a homage or a coincidence or whatever you like, but be sure to look past the surface because what you will find is enough to charm your socks off. Underachievers Please Try Harder is a stunningly unassuming, tender, sweet, melodic, and memorable record. Tracyanne Campbells vocals are pure and honeyed, never veering into sappiness or out of tune. The band manages the rare feat of sounding full and rich without jamming every possible frequency with sound. It also throws in loads of imaginative little hooks that keep things lively. The songwriting is very nice, occasionally reaching the level of their idols work. A Sisters Social Agony is angelic doo wop with lovely tinkling bells, Teenager is a sparse ballad with wonderfully cutting lyrics, and the quietly epic Books Written for Girls features Campbells most aching vocal and sounds like the best track Everything but the Girl never recorded. Elsewhere the band takes trips into country (Before You Cry with co-lead vocals by John Henderson and Campbell), acoustic folk balladry (Your Picture), and good old indie pop (the driving Number One Son) while never failing to achieve anything less than excellence. A necessary addition to the collection of Belle & Sebastian fans, indie pop fans, and music lovers, Underachievers Please Try Harder is an early contender for a best-of-2004 list. [The U.S. edition contains two tracks that the original Spanish release did not (I Dont Want to See You and Footloose and Fancy Free) and a video for Teenager.] -------------------------------------------------------------------

Time Is Never On Our Side 美国Indie Pop最重要厂牌Shelflife下的艺人 试听下载 http://www.shelflife.com/mp3-bin/same.mp3 Miss Watlings first full-length album, "Early Morning Walk," showcases her talents as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. The 16 track cd was recorded at home between August 1999 and December 2000, with help from Dwayne Palasek on trumpet. Laura blends her indiepop style with shoegaze influences to create songs that are dreamy and melodic. The songs vary from short, bouncy tunes like "Youre Gonna Have To Change Your Ways" to mellow, reflective songs like "Recover." Expect layers of guitar, vocal, and keyboard backed by driving drum beats. "Early Morning Walk" is a must-have for anyone who likes good pop music!

    2004.6.21 【色鸟辑录vol 21】Damien Rice - O (2003) f88740e9yd5.jpg ----------------------------------------------- Label: Vector Recordings Genre: Alternative Folk , Contemporary Folk , Contemporary Singer/Songwriter , Folk-Rock , Post-Grunge Reviews: Magnificently packaged in a CD-sized hardcover book filled with personal artwork, lyrics, and photos, Damien Rices debut full-length, O, is nothing less than a work of genius, a perfect cross between Ryan Adams and David Gray and a true contender for one of the best albums of 2003. This Irish singer/songwriter works with impassioned folk songs that move from stripped-down to grandly orchestrated in a heartbeat. The production is reminiscent of Songs of Leonard Cohen -- simple guitars, vocals, and then those swelling strings, all of which sound like they were recorded right in the same room. Rice is master of what critic/ranter Richard Meltzer called "the unknown tongue" -- basically the musical equivalent of the "punctum" in photos, its that thing that grabs a hold of you, the detail that makes it happen. For example, on Delicate the strings lift the spare folk song to the heavens at just the moment that makes the song soar -- Meltzer might call it the "folk tongue" or maybe even the "epic tongue." The magnificent, melancholy, optimistic, longing, almost magical The Blowers Daughter comes in immediately as the previous song, Volcano, ends -- same thing with the song that follows -- which gives the album a broad, operatic quality. The gentle Cannonball, the bright strumming and surreal feedback on Amie, the distant piano and oceanic harmonies (not to mention drowning, backwards vocals) on the duet, {"Cold Water"} -- the entire record makes the empty highway less lonely, the sunshine a little warmer, and life a little more poetic. Then theres the actual opera singer doing backup vocal duties on Eskimo -- a song of redemption that is Syd Barrett, is Skip Spence, is Grandaddy and is Mercury Rev and everything that implies. What a metaphor for Rices entire hopelessly beautiful record -- one long angelic hymn for an insane world with the intimacy of a friend playing guitar in your living room and the grandeur of Sigur R髎. ~ Charles Spano, All Music Guide :: Track Listing 1. Delicate 2. Volcano 3. The Blowers Daughter 4. Cannonball 5. Older Chests 6. Amie 7. Cheers Darlin 8. Cold Water 9. I Remember 10. Eskimo

    2004.6.22 【色鸟辑录vol 22】EDSON -Every Day, Every Second edson-everyday.jpg ---------------------------------------------------- EDSON Every Day, Every Second Labrador US release date: 29 October 2003 UK release date: Available as import The third full-length from Swedens Edson is a delicate, quiet album full of lilting vocals and up-front piano work. These guys definitely have more in common, sonically speaking, with Cat Stevenss quasi-folk rock than they do with the Western rock n roll on which the majority of their peers cut their teeth. Tasteful songwriting, which revolves mostly around acoustic guitars, piano and subtle drumming, helps Edson to avoid sounding dated. A few tracks, such as "Minus Minus Equals Plus" and "Infrared Heating", rely more on electrified guitars for a modern jangle-pop feel, but the band is at their best on understated cuts like "And Then She Flung Me to the Truth" and "Sunny Days". These songs focus primarily on vocals and piano, and singer Pelle Carlburg conveys a wealth of emotion without relying on histrionics. The groups gentle, nuanced songwriting and surprisingly well-layered song structures yield surprisingly memorable hooks. As a result, Every Day, Every Second comes across as a truly honest and heartfelt album -- "emo" in the strictest sense of the term, but in a good way.

Today Maximilian Hecker:不是一朵暗哑无光的黑玫瑰。 德国的先锋音乐以及黑暗音乐可能是世界上最多而且最优秀的了. 这里的独立音乐一样出色. 关于Maximilian Hecker, 他带给我的感觉是之前从未有过的. 按照自己比较牵强的说法, 我认为这是Chamber Pop与Post Rock的完美结合, 既有优美钢琴和抒情男声的深情流露, 又有不经意间的突然爆炸. 非同一般的感受. 某日在音乐杂志上发现这样的一张照片----一个梳了个70s复古烫贴发型, 身穿绅士礼服的男子, 他手握着玫瑰, 神色忧悒地垂下头来, 表现出心事重重的样子...... 噢,干嘛? 已经来到21世纪, 竟然还有人用这种古老石山的造型, 一定是在刻意搞笑吧, 但看他一副认真又英俊的样子, 又不似是闹着玩...... 这个人叫maximilian hecker! 以电子制作人出身的maximilian hecker, 在唱片里却不乏运用上不少真乐器, 与电音分庭抗礼, 两者配合能恰到好处, kitty-yo宣传他为classic Brit-Pop influences, 的确hecker能够谱出悦耳动听而不庸俗的调子, 加上一把感情丰富的嗓子, 略带点女性娇饰的味道, 有首《infinite love song》,经过gareth的斧啄下, 未段充满旷阔空间感的声响配合hecker的假音演绎, 好比加上人声后, moby那些在play时期的纯音乐作品般。 hecker嗓子虽然不俗, 总觉得他时力有不遂, 尤其是爱经常使出的假音, 像在cold wind blowing 里的高八度假音, 便是他失手的时候。 这些缺点偶尔都在其它作品里发生, 都只怪他对自己的声线太有信心之故, 但当不造作时, 又像depeche mode创作主脑martin l.gore那样温婉动人。 在编曲上, maximilian hecker和gareth倒喜欢用上同一个模式, 好几首作品都在平静的乐章中段突然杀出剌耳的结他变奏, 再把节奏加强, 一种摇滚乐常用处理手法, 不过事实上, hecker走的却是电子风, 反觉得颇有趣。

    2004.6.30 【色鸟辑录vol 30】Mojave 3: Excuses for Travellers e426583y174.jpg -------------------------------------------------- from internet: Released: December 05, 2000 Label: 4AD Genre: Alternative Pop/Rock , Dream Pop , Indie Pop , Sadcore :: Track Listing 1. In Love With a View 2. Trying to Reach You 3. My Life in Art 4. Return to Sender 5. When Youre Drifting 6. Anyday Will Be Fine 7. She Broke You So Softly 8. Prayer for the Paranoid 9. Bringin Me Home 10. Got My Sunshine 11. Krazy Koz 12. Always Right 或许,对于某些不曾站在倾盆大雨下痛哭失声的人而言,永远也无法体会那种伤心欲绝的心情;然而,对于爱情有着深刻烙痕的人来讲,许多的事与心情又是如此的难以言说,或许早已看透冷暖,也探透爱情的温度。然而,许多感情事是否该放开,还是深锁,都是难以取舍的决定……由 Mojave 3推出的第三张专辑《Excuses for Travellers》便是这么一张叙述心情在每一段恋曲中流浪的小品。 由吉他手兼主唱 Neil Halstead、贝斯手兼主唱Rachel Goswell和鼓手Ian McCutcheon三人共同领导的Mojave3,最早是从传奇 Shoegazing名团Slowdive转变而来的队伍。然而在经历过不断自我创作上的蜕变与自我要求,尽管目前团员增加至五人,但如同他们的前两张专辑一样,这张众人期盼已久的新专辑仍是一张谈述漂泊或幻灭的种种故事,虽让人不得不直视自己的伤口,却又令人爱不释手。 从一开始的《In Love With A View》到每首曲子,琮琮般地钢琴声、空心钢弦滑音吉他、斑鸠琴与小喇叭等乐器的简约配置下,Neil Halstead 如诗般词句与呢喃便悄悄地带领每位听者,重新凝视自己内心未被开启的每一道窗口。而清淡雅致的乡村田园风味,更让Mojave 3的音乐就这么轻易地攫获所有乐迷的心。但Mojave 3之所以是Mojave 3,最可贵的地方却在于,尽管Halstead深知人性的脆弱,却亦知它该寻找的方向在哪,就如同最后的《Got My Sunshine》一曲,Halstead以福音歌曲合音传达出他对这世间仍是抱着希望与期待。一位朋友说得好:"若不是Mojave 3,或许我再也不听这几年的90年代新音乐了!"而我相信这是肺腑之言。

    2004.7.1 【色鸟辑录vol 31】My Bloody Valentine: Loveless d316825o9rm.jpg ----------------------------------------------------------- from internet: 乐队:My Bloody Valentine 专辑:Loveless 风格:Dream Pop 公司:Plain 时间:1991 1984年成军于都柏林的爱尔兰乐团My Bloody Valentine,是现今英国许多擅长运用White Noise效果的新迷幻团体中出色的乐团之一。1988年以专辑《Isnt Anything》受到英美乐评一致的肯定并进而改变了indie的风貌后,花了三年的心血及所属Creation唱片公司大部分的经费,再度倾力制作了令人赞叹的杰作《Loveless》。此张慢工出细活的专辑不但在去年NME及Melody Maker年度最佳专辑排行上占居前十名内,更确定了其为英国最具原创性及影响力的乐团之一。过去一年许多人想模仿MBV的吉他音效都未成功,Loveless的推出更是令其它人望尘莫及。   MBV此番在他们一贯如梦的旋律,吉他的feedback噪音及Vocal上都有惊人的变化,除了Sample了自己的feedback及Eno式营造的气氛外,也将主唱Bilinda及 Kevin在不同时段录制的Vocal混录在一起,听来如回音,飘忽悠远;朦胧如梦呓的Vocal 本身也是一种美丽的乐器,模糊不清的歌词在这张以音乐为重的专辑中显得多余,因此没有歌词的情况下,听者仍能悠由于创作者迷人的境地之中。   其中When You Sleep及Soon二首节奏较明显,虽非时下舞曲,却也能令爱好者欲翩翩起舞,尤其Soon更在Creation的舞曲作品选辑Keeping the Faith中以舞曲现身。   主唱兼吉他手的灵魂人物Kevin Shields将这11首作了完美的编排,使整张专辑紧凑更有关连性,然而将这11首中第三首56秒的演奏曲Touched抽出来,其余的前五首和后五首皆是成对的,即Only Shallow和Come in Alone,loomer和sometimes,To Here Knows When和Blown a Wish,When You Sleep和What You Want,I Only Said和Soon,成对的两首皆为相似的音乐结构,然而旋律的变化及 Vocal的不同令听者有着不同的感受。此张专辑在多次细细品味后,方能抓住其中纷扰与优美,急躁与和缓,如在天堂似在地狱的独特矛盾与和谐。 曲目: 1. Only Shallow - 4:17 2. Loomer - 2:38 3. Touched - :56 4. To Here Knows When - 5:31 5. When You Sleep - 4:11 6. I Only Said - 5:34 7. Come in Alone - 3:58 8. Sometimes - 5:19 9. Blown a Wish - 3:36 10. What You Want - 5:33 11. Soon - 6:58

    2004.7.2 【色鸟辑录vol 32】Of Montreal: Aldhils Arboretum f47835d74cm.jpg ----------------------------------------------------------- from internet: Released: September 10, 2002 Label: Kindercore Genre: Indie Pop , Neo-Psychedelia Reviews: Intended as an "album of singles" in favor of diminishing their normal proclivities toward conceptual grandiosity and musical adventurousness, Aldhils Arboretum marks a peculiar change of pace for Elephant 6s most prolific popsters. About six songs and 20 minutes shorter than the average Of Montreal outing, the band manages to retain a good deal of their trademark zaniness while producing what might be their most focused and polished work. In fact, the band has never sounded stronger instrumentally as a straightforward retro-rock unit. Big ringing keyboards and wild veering guitar lines color unshakable ear candy like Doing Nothing and Jennifer Louise, both tracks that rank among their most catchy, if not the most innovative, in their extensive catalog. Of course, Kevin Barnes still indulges a bit in his tendency toward obscurely surreal narrative, with both The Blank Husband Epidemic and An Ode to the Nocturnal Muse being unpredictably odd ventures into his unique imagination. Further, even though the intricately playful nature of some of their best songwriting is somewhat muted, Barnes does manage to extend his reputation for gorgeously florid balladry on a few tracks. All in all, even though they dont have an overarching concept to rest under, the set of songs present is undeniably strong and ultimately stamped with all of the important elements that make Of Montreals brand of psychedelic pop so exemplary. Doing Nothing Old People in the Cemetery Isnt It Nice? Jennifer Louise The Blank Husband Epidemic Pancakes for One We Are Destroying the Song An Ode to the Nocturnal Muse Predictably Sulking Sara Natalie and Effie in the Park A Question for Emily Foreman Kissing in the Grass Kid Without Claws Death Dance of Omipapas and Sons for You
