Jun Yamabe And Enitokwa - Bisai



















今天是2007年的最後一天了,我依照這些日子以來的慣例,要在每天的中午選出一張優秀的唱片做為介紹,於是,我開始審視一遍這幾天所聽到的專輯一一做比較,因為在這個重要的日子裡,我希望所貼出來的這一張專輯其價值足以擔任一個完美的尾聲。
終於,我決定貼出由小熊所提供的Jun Yamabe And Enitokwa - Bisai,這張迷人的專輯是由追求高音樂品質的Klik Records所發行,雖然在這短短一兩個月內已經聽到他們超過四張的專輯,但是,在密集發行的同時,我卻聽不出來他們的東西有任何草率之處,張張都是值得典藏的電子音樂逸品。
對於Jun Yamabe And Enitokwa,我並不清楚他們的由來,但是,我卻深深地被專輯之中那種細緻而迷幻的音樂詩篇所感動,在Minimal的短拍反覆進行之際,周遭卻環繞著柔美的Ambient旋律,另外,也聽到了許多他們取樣改造的特別聲響和音效,當這些東西精準的Mix在一起時,所呈現出來的是一種前所未有的抽象美學,讓人想一再的回味。

VA - Great Carnival Stuff




















根據個人聆聽的經驗,Techno在現場收聽時確實有著無比振奮的效果,但是,換個環境、去除掉強烈的聲光效果之後,卻很容易讓我感到疲乏。這是一片我難得喜歡的Techno風格之合輯,不論是Helau中愉快飛揚的交響樂融合,或是Samba De Bochum中的Electro Samba Beats,種種漂亮的進化和創意都讓我再次體認到,不是沒有好聽的Techno,而是我還沒聽到真正的好作品。

Festival Lounge 031 With Dynamic Illusion




















不常抓Set來聽,會讓我想將它保存下來的Set更是少之又少,而這段Festival Lounge 031就是屬於我會想珍藏起來的精采好物。從一開始柔美音色融合碎拍的Intro,就已經完全中了Dynamic Illusion的道,然後神不知鬼不覺的漸變為輕快愉悅的Progressive House,拍子一直在改變,而一致的無重力漂浮感卻不曾少過,末了時再以閒適的Trance帶出,完整的架構出一段絕佳的聽覺旅程。

Snowmobile - The World Keeps Spinning




















細碎電子節拍夾雜著詭異方式彈奏的吉他聲響,有時候甚至於出現了東方樂器的韻味,當速度放慢時的氣氛蒼白且迷濛,當Breakbeat出現時又顯得輕快而愉悅,專輯中所呈現的情緒是多元、複雜的,Snowmobile發展出自己的一套邏輯,創造出一種新穎而獨特的聲音並賦予了搖滾一個新概念。

Torte Bus - Summer and Winter




















對於中國地下音樂的認知,我始終停留在十幾年前的印象,如:崔健、竇唯、張楚、黑豹、唐朝等...,一來是由於個人聽音樂類型的大轉變,二來是因為自魔岩之後,後面似乎也沒有其他唱片公司再繼續引進介紹,所以,實在是出現了一個好大的斷層。
透過北京友人-小熊的推薦與介紹,我聽到了一個屬於新世代地下北京的聲音-拖特巴士,溫和、清爽的不插電民謠風,有如一陣陣輕撫過的微風,讓人感覺到一整個的心平氣和,他們所傳遞出來的是一種貼近生活面的聲音,是一些很容易融入生活的旋律,若真要說有什麼缺點?恐怕就是專輯那20幾分鐘的長度未免太短了,舒坦的情緒才剛醞釀好就停止了,只得不斷地Repeat...再Repeat...。
※ Track 1- Sunday Trip也被改編為前自然捲女主唱魏如萱(娃娃)個人單飛專輯《甜蜜生活》(La Dolce Vita)中的主打歌「一起去旅行」。

Tracklist:
01. Sunday trip
02. First minute in love
03. Self-talk

05. She said, everything would be all right
06. Hug me then

Yosebu - I'll Be Waiting Till Dawn



















不管是Ambient, Progressive或是Downtempo,只要是由Klik Records所推出的作品,都有著幾近苛求的細膩和優美,儼然已成為該廠牌的特有風格。專輯中的節拍以舒緩的Downtempo為主調,除了電子音效的運用之外,也出現了帶有古典味的管弦樂,最特別的地方莫過於大量吉他、貝斯、鼓等樂器彈奏的原音取樣,這些的運用讓專輯出現了很不一樣的聽覺感受,也許不如以往所聽到電味十足的緩拍那麼的飄逸,但是卻更加的細緻而沉靜。

Six Parts Seven - Casually Smashed To Pieces




















搖滾樂能夠走到現今這樣的面貌,我個人真的很感動,這麼多可愛的樂隊"透過音樂"向外傳遞出他們真誠的創作,不必再像老前輩們唱到扭腰擺臀、香汗淋漓還要搖旗吶喊,完全回歸到音樂上面的交流,用音符、旋律去觸動你的心理面。言歸正傳,Six Parts Seven來自美國Ohio,聽到他們的音樂,你甚至於不必上Google去查他們的故鄉長得是啥模樣,就已經有大概的形貌出現了,是的,Six Parts Seven的Post Rock保留了很濃郁的田野風味,是需要戴一頂牛仔帽的、是聞得到青草香的,專輯中沒有出現後搖中常營造的洶湧澎湃,但是,透過呢喃的吉他和溫暖的管樂,Six Parts Seven訴說的是一段思鄉的情感、是許多過往的記憶...。

Joy Wants Eternity - You Who Pretend To Sleep



















由Salo, Sal, Rob, Emory and Michael所組成的西雅圖後搖樂隊,在這張專輯中很容易感受到他們的細膩手法,在許多不算短的前奏鋪陳中,仍可以清晰的聽到他們利用多樣的樂器及混音效果漸次導入,營造出非常豐富的層次和Post Rock特有的疏離感,而在歌曲的能量累積到一定層度時,也絕不吝於展現出該有的爆發力,跟著Joy Wants Eternity一起飛行吧!這一定是趟精彩絕倫的旅程啊!

Eric Prydz - Eric Prydz



















稍微調查了一下,Eric Prydz好像不曾發過這麼一張專輯,可能是某熱心樂迷"自發"的Eric Prydz同名精選輯,那麼,就姑且這樣稱呼它吧!Eric Prydz的同名精選輯具有顯著的當代色彩,不論是當時正興的Old Skool老歌翻玩,或是其中Fade In-Fade Out收放技巧,都充滿了當時House的典型特色,應該有許多人會和我一樣,不僅對於這些歌曲相當耳熟,許多的往日美好回憶也會伴隨著音樂一一湧現...。

Naomi & Goro-Turn Turn Turn



















都忘了是從何時開始,常常有個美夢一直跟隨著我,夕陽沈落於遠遠的地平線中,將海洋渲染成一片金黃,沙灘旁的椰子樹隨著微風婆娑起舞,而我呢?全身放鬆的浸泡在微微起伏的溫暖海水中...,哈哈~想到都會偷笑。雖然只是一個夢,我始終還是生活在這片水泥叢林中,但是,聽著Naomi & Goro的Turn Turn Turn,那股暖流似乎又開始圍繞在身旁,其清新而溫暖的Bossa旋律,也產生了相當程度的療效,牽引著我往那個方向而去。

急促的鼓點聲一陣陣襲來,壓縮著呼吸的空間,有如緊湊的科幻動作片讓你繃緊每一條神經,就在窒息的前一刻,Dream Come True悠然的進入腦海,撥雲見日般的開闊視野就此展開...。偶爾來這麼一下硬派的鼓打貝斯還是挺過癮的!

Nagano Kitchen - Nagano Kitchen



















一開始由原始而深沈的部落鼓擊聲帶入,再將行雲流水般的鋼琴聲緩緩融合在一片悠揚旋律中,正在享受著時空交錯的快意飛行時,彈如雨下的Techno重擊又將你推到另一個黑暗而神祕的境地...。Nagano Kitchen的同名專輯聽不出有任何青澀,和諧的旋律、戲劇化的空間變化和那一次又一次的迷人重拍,細膩而大器的擘畫出如此一張完美專輯,宛如是某位大師的精心力作。老話一句:好東西!錯過了可惜啊!

Tom Middleton - Lifetracks




















不敢說是驚為天人,但是,Tom Middleton的才華在我聽完兩首歌之後,幾乎已經給予全然的肯定,專輯中不論是譜曲或是曲目的編列,都可以聽到他的成熟和專業,樂器的編制很清爽卻可以輕易的牽動著聽眾的情緒起伏,華麗而流動的音場更為專輯注入了其特有的風格。不知道有沒有人跟我一樣注意到了最近一則Lexus"白馬踢正步篇"的廣告配樂,每次廣告出現我都在等著,等著那二十幾秒鐘鋼琴獨奏所帶來的唯美沈靜,專輯中第四首歌-Sea Of Glass竟也出現了類似的感覺,這實在是讓我太開心了!

Nathan Fake - Drowning in a Sea of Love




















沉溺在愛情的海洋之中,我們就算漂浮,也不打算拉扯上岸的繩索。Nathan Fake 這位年輕的電子樂玩家,或許會如外文網站上所寫的一樣,是不可能成為什麼舞曲界的傳奇大師;但是由他的巧手所編織出一曲曲如夢似幻的愛情囈語,卻像是一葉輕舟,載著相擁的愛侶們輕輕搖曳在灑滿月光的電子汪洋之中,靜謐而且甜美。傳媒給他送上了“2006 年最值得收藏的 Rocktronica 專輯”這個被獨特字眼標示著的讚譽,或許讓我們可以預測緊接著這名詞下又有多少要被歸納進來的藝人與作品,並且又要成為音樂傳媒努力炒作的一門學問了!不過可以確定的是,就算這個名詞最終將被折損了的雜誌扉頁所掩蓋,也無損這張天才傑作在電子音樂歷史上的特出地位!至於喜愛 Boards of Canada,Caribou,Lucky Pierre 的朋友們,相信這張專輯絶對會讓你疼愛不已!( 文章出自eslite music - d!zzy )

Shlomi Aber - State Of No One



















Renaissance,一個以文藝復興角色自居於電子音樂界的廠牌、英倫Progressive House的重鎮,推出的唱片或藝人向來都是有口皆碑,其中大師系列的專輯更是張張精采、值得典藏。慧眼獨具亦是Renaissance一直以來的強項,繼Nic Fanciulli、Sander Kleinenberg之後,2007年尾聲再為以色列籍的創作奇葩Shlomi Aber打造首張專輯-State Of No One,融合了Minimal的細膩抽象和Deep House的深邃迷幻,並將這些飽足的能量以最和諧的方式加以鋪陳和延展,完全承襲了Renaissance一貫的優質風格!

Incognito - Future Remixed




















基於對Incognito的熱愛,我總是會特別去留意一下他們的相關訊息,偶然地,在搜索某唱片時發現了國外討論區有人貼出這張Incognito 2000年由Talkin' Loud所發行的混音輯,這下當然是不可能放過,Incognito和Talkin' Loud的結合,那意味著我將會聽到動人悅耳的電氣化Incognito,雖然在一些House合輯中偶爾也會聽到Incognito歌曲Remix版本,但是,把他們所有的Remix收集在一張唱片裡,那還真是令人大呼過癮啊!

VA - Sambass 4 - A New Dose Of Fresh Brazil D'n'b



















看看這張唱片的名稱,大概也知道在搞什麼鬼了,Samba? Drum&Bass? 這兩種樂風的融合倒是罕見!
其實,它並沒有那麼的鼓打貝斯,應該形容它為 "具有些微鼓打貝斯成份的弛放合輯" 較為精確,從頭到尾充斥著熱情搖曳的拉丁風情,這個部份的強度已經掩蓋掉了絕大部份的Drum&Bass,聽起來就是一派輕鬆、自在,具有非常好的舒壓效果。

Aquibird




















繼Clazziquai-酷懶之味之後,經由小熊的推薦,我又認識了一個優質的韓國Acid Jazz團體-Aquibird,不知道是不是因為英倫天團Jamiroquai的影響,兩個韓國樂隊都在團名冠上了類似的發音。這是他們2007年所發行的專輯Daydream(English_Version),一如我所期待的,明亮、輕快的節奏和旋律滿佈了整張專輯,原來鬱悶、緊湊的上班情緒也因為Daydream而轉變為愉悅無比。對於他們,我沒能再做任何深入的了解,因為相關資訊全是韓文,越看越糊塗,只知道他們的歌曲透過韓劇的播送而走紅。也許是因為K歌文化的關係,亞洲的聽眾族群特別喜歡那種愛到死去活來的情歌,如果做些調整改變,多一些這種甜美、開心的Acid Jazz,生活不就多了一點快樂的氣息嗎?

Tracklist:
01. Daydream
02. Stepping To The New World
03. No Mo Cry

M83 - Digital Shades (Vol. 1)




















聽完這張專輯,我第一個時間聯想到的是曾經介紹過的Eluvium - Copia,雖然沒有像當時產生那麼巨大的衝擊,但是,M83的創作亦有著很強烈的吸引力,一個不注意,整個人已經沈浸在祥和、平靜並透露著一絲感傷的氛圍之中。對於我個人來說,電子音樂其存在的價值不外乎:一、以奇幻音色加上節拍的變化讓人達到狂喜熱舞的效應,如電子舞曲。二、如同這張唱片所呈現出來的,以虛幻、超現實的音符引領著聽眾在腦海中建構起一幅又一幅的唯美畫面。

Minipop - A New Hope


San Francisco coeds Minipop arrive on the scene with their debut record "A New Hope", making music that recalls the Cardigans' effortless pop perfected tunes. Vocalist Tricia Kanne's delicate voice soars over the keyboard laden arrangements and layered guitars creating a lush brand of dream pop. The gorgeous reverie of sound present on the album is highlighted with with a dichotomy of crashing choruses and honeyed vocal arrangements resulting in a remarkably rich collection of songs. Already having toured with the likes of Midlake, Tokyo Police Club and Stellastarr, Minipop exploded onto the Bay Area music scene in 2005 and quickly caught the attention of peers, fans, and critics alike. S.F. tastemaker and Live 105 music director Aaron Axelson named their single "Like I do" one of his favorite singles featured on his "Soundcheck" program and a band to watch in 2007. "Like I Do" is one of the hottest tracks in the world right now... "

Mark Farina - Live In Tokyo




















美西舞曲名廠OM首席DJ Mark Farina,對於喜愛浩室舞曲的樂迷而言應該是一個再熟悉不過的名字。他的音樂裡流動著純正的Chicago House血液,同時又讓人著迷於他多年來勇於實驗以及出人意料的混音創意。而讓大師真正攀上經典地位,並樹立起鮮明風格的關鍵,則起始於一系列《Mushroom Jazz》Mixtape於1992年面市。從這系列作品可以了解除了Chicago House骨幹之外,舉凡嘻哈、靈騷、爵士、Dub等元素,甚至馬丁路德金恩博士的演說,都在他手中化作突破聽覺極限的材料。當然,他的良師益友—Chicago House耆宿Derrick Carter對他的啟發功不可沒!

每回OM推出Mark Farina的最新作品,都被視為該廠牌最重要的年度指標。這次Mark Farina提著DJ箱來到東京這個潮流之都,以雙手征服在場歡聲雷動的樂迷。《Live in Tokyo》充滿Mark Farina特有的細膩風味,無論是充滿彈性的Funk、Groovy的聲線取樣,一直到完美調配Hip Hop / Chicago House / French House比例的曲目挑選,包括DJ Sneak、Greenskeepers、Leon Louder等堪稱同為Chcago House Scene指標的前輩同儕們匠心獨具的單曲,原汁原味One Take的LIVE實錄,漂亮地擘畫出一場充滿流動感、兼融自由明亮與低迴幽暗的絕美感官饗宴!

Elsiane - Hybrid




















如果你覺得Portishead的Trip Hop過於沈重、Bjork的另類電音過於刁蠻,那麼你應該聽聽看來自加拿大的Trip Hop雙人電音組合-Elsiane,他們的創作集合了上述兩個在樂壇中算是指標性藝人的特色及優點,再加入主唱兼主創作人-Elsieanne Caplette深厚的古典音樂基礎,使得他們的音樂在神祕、飄逸的緩拍慢慢前行之時,仍可在背景中聽到層層堆疊的管弦樂,充滿靈氣的Vocal亦讓歌曲散發出更強烈的Elsiane風格。另外,在專輯中我至少聽到了有兩首歌出現了東方的音樂元素,甚至連舞龍舞獅的敲鑼打鼓聲也被他們取樣運用了,不知道其背後隱藏的意義為何呢?

Karl Latham - Resonance (2007)




















雖然是爵士樂隊,但是在這張專輯中卻可以聽到許多老搖滾的影子,譬如說將U2的經典歌曲I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For改編為輕鬆寫意的民謠、爵士風,譬如說將吉他調整成搖滾的Tone並以Jimi Hendrix的彈奏方式呈現,開啟了一篇吉他和小喇叭間的即興對話,有一種衝突和奇特的聽覺感受,另外,偶爾出現的一些喇叭獨奏和輕柔鼓點聲也讓專輯在狂野的融合之間,多了一些安詳、靜譪的舒緩氣氛。
