VA - Amnesia Ibiza DJ Sessions Vol. 3




















剛看到這樣的封面設計時,實在是有點兒想放棄,但是衝著是Tocadisco參與的Mix,說什麼都得聽聽看。果然,聽起來比看起來舒服很多,CD1選擇的曲目以Tech, Electro House為主,夾帶著幾首非常出色的Tribal, Progressive,CD2則加入了多首Minimal和IDM,聽起來多了幾分實驗色彩,最精彩的部份是這兩位在融接歌曲的處理手法上,俐落、不著痕跡的一曲又過一曲,將舞動的能量維持在一個高點上,彷彿正置身在Amnesia的舞池中隨著聲波擺動著!

The Eddie Roberts Quintet - Trenta




















Eddie Roberts 8th album as leader features the acclaimed Roughneck line up and further explores his jazz influences with references to Grant Green, Ramsey Lewis, Gabor Szabo and swinging 60 soundtracks in the grooves of this latest recording session.
The New Mastersounds guitar ace has written some tough, some tender but always swinging arrangements of Italian tunes from the 60s and 70s with warm analogue production in his trademark Roughneck style.

For me, Eddie Roberts is one of the great unsung heroes of the UK Jazz scene. This man is one of the finest musicians we have and he should be world famous by now. Whether fronting his Roughneck live project, The New Mastersounds, or his own Quintet, Eddie oozes pure class! Russ Dewbury (Juice 107FM)

Avishai Cohen - As Is Live At The Blue Note



















Avishai Cohen (born 1970, in Jerusalem) is an Israeli jazz bassist, composer and arranger. He grew up by a musical family in a small town near Jerusalem. As a child, he played the piano, but at the age of 14 he moved to the bass guitar. Later, after playing in an Army band for two years, he began studying upright bass with maestro Michael Klinghoffer. Two years later moved to New York City, and got in contact with other jazz players. After a long period of performing in small clubs, Cohen was noticed by jazz genius Chick Corea and was given a record contract. He has performed and toured in two of Chick Corea's bands, Origin and the Chick Corea New Trio. (wikipedia)

Flunk - Personal Stereo



















北歐的藝人或音樂總是帶著一些靈氣,從Bjork, Cardigans, Sigur Ros...等人的音樂中都可以聽到他們非常不凡的氣質,Flunk - 這個來自挪威的團體所創作出來的音樂同樣也散發出獨特而富靈氣的聽覺感受。深沈的Trip Hop節奏讓專輯呈現出和緩的進行步調,Vocal則以慵懶、獨白式的唱腔表現,空心吉他和曼妙電音和諧並行於其中,Sit Down這首歌突然出現的男聲帶來了一個小高潮,特殊的嗓音讓我聯想到以鼻音出名的民謠詩人Bob Dylan,全曲簡單、清爽卻情感豐富,是我很喜歡的一首歌。

Helios - Eingya



















這是一張屬於我珍藏等級的唱片,有Post Rock的唯美氛圍、也有玄妙的電氣分子,一曲又一曲的美妙旋律就像在訴說著動人的故事,步調輕柔而緩慢,似乎有一股將空氣和時間凝結起來的神奇力量。今天在網上閒逛,赫然發現Helios推出了新專輯Ayres,真是期待萬分啊!

VA - Summer Sessions 2007 - Milk & Sugar


















第一次見到Milk & Sugar的名字,是在05年Hed Kandi: Disco Heaven的歌單中,他們俏皮而FUNKY的音色確實十分吸引我,此後便常常聽他們的SET一飽耳福。Summer Sessions是他們自己的廠牌Milk & Sugar Recordings每年發一次的選輯,Summer Sessions 2007依舊是充滿靈魂、放克的優質House大匯集,愉悅、跳躍的音符具有百分百的娛樂性,這也是Milk & Sugar一直以來的調性。

焦糖牛奶之歌




















因為最近的一支手機廣告曲,讓我開始尋覓那個聲音,那個可愛、夢幻的唱腔出自日本樂壇精靈-Chara,知道她很久了,可從來沒有好好認識她的音樂過,聽完焦糖牛奶後感覺到對她有點抱歉,原來我誤會她了,一直以為她又是一個裝可愛的偶像派,其實不然,她的創作才華驚人、曲子也很動聽,配合她特殊的唱腔更有味道,背後的王牌製作群也讓專輯編曲、製作到達一個非常高的水平。

Beastie Boys - The Mix Up - 2007




















Beastie Boys一直都是樂壇中的異類,早期的另類樂團之中也只有他們和Rage Against Machine的饒舌能夠舌燦蓮花,偏偏他們的音樂架構又是大量融合Jazz, Funk, Rock等元素,聽起來實在和YO~YO~YO~的饒舌嘻哈差異很大,獨樹一格的曲風至今聽來依舊韻味十足,這種無可取代性也是他們存活這麼長久的原因。偶然之中看到了他發的新片,不免好奇的拿來聽聽,希望能回味一下當初聽到他們Hello Nasty以及The In Sound From Way Out!專輯時的驚艷感。第一個感覺是beastie boys長大了,主唱尖銳、高頻的饒舌聲音並沒有出現,沈穩而富感情的編曲出現頻率超過以往很多,不變的是那些略帶戲謔之Old Skool鍵盤、吉他彈奏,似乎有刻意塑造七零年代懷舊風味的意圖。

Goloka - Afterglow - 2007




















非常有深度的Downtempo作品,比起一般以類似手法創作的樂團或藝人,Goloka對於專輯的概念表現完整性更加要求,裡面蘊含著更多的情緒起伏和故事性,聆聽起來不易產生痲痹感,有時像Potishead般深沈而灰暗,有時又會出現輕快、慵懶的Jazz或是Trip Hop,營造出非常多元而豐富的聽覺感受,難怪各媒體均給予極高的評價,專輯中第四首歌-Thinking About You是我最喜歡的一首,相信大家都應該很耳熟,只是一時還真想不起來到底曾經收錄在哪張合輯中呢?

VA - Passport - United States Of America (Mixed by Ferry Corsten)




















Ferry Corsten距離上一張Passport: Kingdom Of The Netherlands隔了兩年之久,近期才又發表此系列第二輯Passport: United States Of America,Ferry式充滿鏗鏘節奏的開場依舊洗鍊,Progressive柔美成份比例明顯與以往作品加強了不少,俐落的過門接曲方式仍感受出Ferry Corsten特有的硬派風格,悅耳度與耐聽度堪稱可圈可點,07年必備盤相信少不了此專輯,而此專輯CD會一併加送DVD碟一張,內容包括2006年鹿特丹人在美國進行的Road To Voodoo表演片斷,並且將附贈Ferry單曲Junk的MV。(文章和資訊:伊凡)

VA - Passport - United States Of America是今年截至現在為止個人最喜歡的一張Trance合輯,甚至超越了一直存放於iTunes中捨不得移開的VA - A State Of Trance 2007以及VA - Anjunabeats Vol.5,這還得謝謝伊凡的資訊和推薦,真的是絕品好貨!最近聽了許多Ferry Corsten新發行的單曲後,一直以為他將會以融合Electro, Hi-Tech, 搖滾的Trance作為近期的表現風格,沒有想到在Passport中又轉而回歸到優美而具空間感的風格中,一路聽下去可說是首首動聽迷人,也感受到了Ferry Corsten的細膩和絕佳的品味,我真的是完全中招了...。

Azziz Discopraise - Alegria...Solta Pelo Ar!!














Disco Praise為一巴西的Fusion, Jazz Funk五人樂隊,他們的音樂中並沒有出現巴西人引以為傲的Bossa Nova,聽起來反而有點澀谷系的味道,尤其主唱略帶滄桑的嗓音讓我直接聯想到日本樂壇Fusion達人-田島貴男,整張專輯大部份的歌曲以輕快、愉悅的風格為主,只有在最後安排了兩首柔美、抒情的歌曲帶出。

Tracklist:
01. Jeric—
02. Operando Deus Quem Impedir‡
03. Labirinto
04. Louca
05. O Grande Eu Sou
06. Algo Melhor
07. O Amor Supera Todo Medo
08. Pelo Sangue
09. Tu ƒs Grande
10. Adora‹o E Honra/Nova Can‹o
