THE RESISTANCE / muse



MUSE
,這個榮獲5MTV音樂獎、4Q音樂獎、7NME音樂獎、2座全英音樂獎的英倫搖滾天團,由主唱兼吉他/鋼琴鍵盤手Matthew Bellamy、貝斯手Chris Wolstenhome及鼓手Dominic Howard共同組成,於1999年推出首張大碟“Showbiz”,而後他們便陸續以2001年的“Origin of Symmetry”2003年的“Absolution”2006年的“Black Holes And Revelations”,一次又一次地讓所有搖滾樂迷懾服在他們的音樂魅力之下。他們是帶著溫暖笑顏的魔鬼,也是流著冷冽淚水的天使,Matthew血肉中古典與搖滾的衝突美感、Chris歇斯底里的貝斯音牆、Dominic異趣多變的鼓聲編排,讓MUSE
有著無法取代的樂團樣貌。跨越時間的屏障,突破空間的限制,在他們的音樂作品當中,有著強烈的視覺化感受,時而穿梭浩瀚銀河系,時而跌入無盡黑洞,彷彿每個音符都直接鑽入中樞神經,啟動情緒的起伏節拍。


相信每位樂迷都渴望想知道,這一次
MUSE又將會以全新專輯,帶領我們前往一個怎樣的音樂境界?相較於挑戰性十足的“Absolution”和思潮滿溢的“Black Holes and Revelations”,新作“The Resistance”可說是樂團出道以來最具野心、也最反動的作品,也是他們首次全權擔任專輯的製作人角色。無論是擅長用非常淺顯有趣的文字,來闡述達爾文演化論的英國演化生物學大師道金斯(Richard Dawkins),或是著名的波蘭音樂家鋼琴詩人蕭邦(Frederick Chopin),還是左派知識份子代表人物、英國著名小說家喬治奧威爾(George Orwell),全都是啟發新專輯創作靈感的重要推手。在混亂毀壞之中為愛與信念奮戰,首支工業搖滾氣息十足的單曲「Uprising」啟動聖戰,「Resistance」在節奏中誓言奪回自由權利,沾染新浪潮氣息的「Undisclosed Desires」有著新穎的律動,「United States Of Eurasia」激昂壯闊宛如末日搖滾歌劇!「Guiding Light」在摩登中尋找復古,「Unnatural Selection」嘶吼真理,「Mk Ultra」急速墬落音網,探討思想控制或是化學審問等秘密活動等議題。美麗易碎的柔情樂章「I Belong To You」,這首搖滾詠嘆調,接續著之後長達12分鐘的「Exogenesis Symphony」三部曲,這個在義大利米蘭,和將近40位的音樂家共同錄製管絃樂的三部曲創作,確立了搖滾型態就此邁向全新里程碑!

夏 狂熱 / 蘇打綠



夏天就該狂熱自己的模樣
蘇打綠帶給大家「夏 / 狂熱」 


溫暖春天輕拂後,緊接著夏天,蘇打綠將帶給大家熱情的搖滾。

英國,全球第三大音樂市場。終年的濃霧孕育出無數世界知名搖滾樂團:The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Who, Deep Purple, Radiohead, Oasis, Blur, Coldplay…蘇打綠前往倫敦,錄製一張單純、直接、用音符炙熱生命的計畫中第二張專輯「夏 /狂熱」。
 

〈夏
/ 狂熱〉裡的時間,是跳動的,不是一天的流動,而是生命中,過去到現在、現在到未來的流逝。「狂熱」一如字面上的意義,就是直接、執著。「狂熱」就是這張專輯的終極精神,十一首歌詞都在表達某一種狂熱,並皆以直接的字彙呈現。一如夏天的熱情,狂熱的直接,專輯定調為搖滾風格,所有的發想皆以搖滾的概念為基礎。

INSTITUTE OF JOY / A Mountain Of One



http://www.myspace.com/amountainofone



On their first proper full-length, A Mountain of One appear to have tipped the scales between band and studio project present on their earlier EPs, appearing here as a full-fledged rock group, which doesn't necessarily always work in their favor. (One wonders if an introduction of a studio-project approach might have effectively reigned in some of the denser moments of soaring rawk excess.) More often than not the group aims to convey some dense and imposing space like a grand cathedral, crafting tunes replete with ghostly sheets of organs and synthesizers, as well as theatrical choirs that sing of longing and the voyage home. The result is often an kind of icey spirituality, white like marble, but at times also an almost orchestral stiffness, the gestural formality of Catholic ritual—even though the album title alludes to a kind of Pentecostal fervor.

THE HERBALISER BAND SESSION1 & 2 / the herbaliser band







*A SPECIAL EDITION, FEATURING BOTH THE NEW ALBUM, SESSION 2 AND 2000's SESSION 1* Long-term Herbaliser fans will no doubt recall the Session One double-album from 2000. This live album (recorded with a full band) became something of a fan favourite, and so now at their new home on K7 Ollie Teeba and Jake Wherry have set about recording a second installment, calling on their more recent catalogue, reaching as far back as 1997's Blow Your Headphones. The raw, flowing funk of the original Session is captured all over again, harnessing a far more naturalistic sound than you'd hear on the Herbaliser's heavily machined sample-laden studio records, though there's still a suitably energised electronic presence thanks to plenty of turntablist flourishes and synthesiser embellishments. The highest praise should probably be directed towards the drummer and the brass section though, who really bring the music to life on tracks like 'Another Mother' and the imaginary '70s police chase soundtrack, 'Geddim!'.

RICEBOY SLEEPS / jonsi & alex


冰島搖滾神話「席格若斯樂團
Sigur Ros」主唱Jonsi最新力作,與親密摯友艾力克Alex Somers,首張琴瑟合鳴創作大碟
Sigur Ros長期合作女子樂隊AmiinaKopavogsdaetur唱詩班,情義相挺助陣
ContactmusicStrangeglue一致★★★★等級讚揚推薦
輕啟夢幻國度的神秘大門,尋求心與靈的平靜與昇華,展開一段沒有終點的水中冥想旅程


層次鮮明的出色編曲與主唱「雍希
Jon Thor (Jonsi) Birgisson」(以下簡稱Jonsi)勾魂攝魄的空靈嗓音,無疑是「席格若斯樂團Sigur Ros」最受人讚譽的兩大特色。然而在忙碌緊湊的專輯錄製工作與巡演行程之外,精力旺盛的Jonsi,亦不忘撥冗發展個人的創作事業。大約從2006年開始,Jonsi與生活上相互扶持的親密摯友「艾力克Alex Somers」合力創作,兩人除了以「睡吧!米男孩Riceboy Sleeps」為名出版限量刊物,亦先後舉辦一系列的展覽活動。專精視覺藝術的Alex,過去曾為Sigur Ros的專輯與官方商品擔任視覺設計,而他與Jonsi更試著將創作觸角延伸至音樂領域,兩人的心血結晶〈Happiness〉,首先受到知名另類合輯《Dark Was The Night》的青睞收錄,而廣大的樂迷們,也得以透過〈Happiness〉與Riceboy Sleeps展開音樂上的第一次接觸。幾個月後,JonsiAlex兩人以Riceboy Sleeps為名的首張同名專輯,也已正式宣告錄製完成。


本張專輯中有如迷霧般層層交疊的特殊音場,很容易讓人想起
Sigur Ros的作品,然而Jonsi卻不想在此複製Sigur Ros的輝煌成就。他與Alex選擇降低人聲比例,以原音樂器、豐富的取樣及絃樂,輕啟水中夢幻國度的神秘大門、尋找心靈的平衡與昇華,帶領聽眾展開一段將近68分鐘、卻好似沒有終點的冥想旅程。事實上,本張專輯的多數創作,皆在兩人共同準備餐點時與日常生活的鎖碎事物中產生。而兩人在冰島的住處,也理所當然成為主要的錄音地點,舉凡客廳裡的鋼琴、金屬鍵琴、小風琴、鐘琴、吉他到電顫琴,皆是兩人創作的工具,甚至生活中的噪音也一併收錄!

A FRENCH KISS IN THE CHAOS / reverend & the makers




http://www.myspace.com/reverendmusic


Fresh from his worldwide success with indie supergroup 'Mongrel', Jon McClure brings us his second Reverend & The Makers studio album 'A French Kiss In The Chaos' which has been produced by Jagz Kooner (Primal Scream/Kasabian) and mixed by Dave Sardy (The Ting Tings/Oasis/LCD Soundsystem). `Silence Is Talking' is the first single from the album and rides a blissed out euphoric groove. 'A French Kiss In The Chaos' was recorded at Tony Visconti's legendary Dean Street studios where Bowie, T-Rex & U2 have all recorded classic material. The album is the follow up to the 175,000 selling 2007 Top 5 album `The State of Things' (which spawned several hit singles including `Heavyweight Champion of the World' and `He Said He Loved Me'). The album has unquestionable universal appeal and features 10 tracks covering topics such as global warming, Prozac and consumerism, but with a sense of optimism and positivity. Musically the new album embraces 60's psychedelia alongside a thoroughly modern and vibrant sound. Wall of Sound. 2009.

PAPER CANYON / codes in the clouds



http://www.myspace.com/codesintheclouds



來自英國肯特郡,現場演出已有穩固口碑五人純器樂後搖團
Codes In The Clouds,終於推出首張錄音專輯Paper Canyon,彷彿是MogwaiBoards of Canada互鬥的結晶,從一開始便讓人如飛蛾撲燭般一頭栽入,且不停渴望聽到更多,從氛圍蘊釀低點藉由超技精準打擊與迴繞吉他riff漩渦緩慢鋪陳堆砌,達至讓人腸胃糾結的磅礡情緒高潮,Codes In The Clouds以他們成熟的技巧與對旋律的敏感處理得非常到位,這不就是後搖最迷人的地方嗎?

FITS / white denim

































http://www.myspace.com/whitedenimmusic


A continuation from their Workout holiday album of last year, Fits finds White Denim expanding on their raucous garage sound with a touch of progged-up psychedelia. In contravention with 2009's lo-fi preoccupations, White Denim steer clear of that ubiquitous In The Red sound instead favouring a more fleshed out, soulful feel. 'Say What You Want' is like a classic MC5 song, laying down heavy pentatonic riffs inherited from Hendrix's Band Of Gypsys before venturing off into unexpectedly intricate instrumental noodling. The further you get into this album the more it becomes apparent that White Denim are on their way to becoming a really great rock & roll band, combining the visceral energy of proto punk with the musical dexterity of prog (not ordinarily the easiest of bedfellows), making all the right references along the way. The album's recording is perfectly judged too, not even attempting to veil its designs on sounding like it was made in the late '60s or early '70s. Far from sounding lo-fi however, the album just sounds incredibly full-bodied and warm, riddled with vintage effects and timeless analogue production techniques. Ace.
