Ben Sage - How The Days Collide



















從開始的Hip Hop, Techno, Trance甚至於擔任Punk樂隊的鼓手,Ben Sage的這些歷練都足以影響到他爾後的創作,即使最後他定調在鼓打貝斯的領域中,依舊可以聽得出來其中的獨特性;專輯中一會兒是狂野奔放的搖滾鼓點,一會兒是氣勢磅礡的Trance,還有穿插其中的優美Ambient鋪陳,這些都說明了Ben Sage他的收放自如和寬廣視野。

Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours


















彷彿時光倒轉般的,那些熟悉的八零新浪潮唱腔和音色又再次的湧現腦海,在加入了復古的Disco節拍和電氣特效修飾之後,Cut Copy的樂風更顯夢幻和輕快,也突顯出這個世代中無所不融合的音樂特色。來自墨爾本的Cut Copy由Dan Whitford, Tim Hoey, Mitchell Scott, Bennett Foddy所組成,承襲了一些英倫新浪潮老祖宗的表現方式,如:New Order, Depeche Mode..等,再將電子舞曲的高度娛樂性加諸其中,在笨拙的科技感中又流露出一些明亮和令人開心的因子,他們在Myspace音樂類別欄上很用力的打上了Pop/Pop/Pop,雖然有那麼一點搞笑成份,卻也帶來了一些省思...,如何定義在哪個樂種其實真的沒那麼重要,通俗、朗朗上口也很好啊!

Marcus Miller - Marcus




















這大概是我這輩子聽到的唱片中,第一片、也是唯一一片以Electric Bass做為主奏的專輯,算是我的一個小小嘗試。少了以往在聽覺上依賴的搧情吉他嘶吼,卻有著出乎意料的獨特感受,你可以很清楚的聽到Marcus Miller運用了各種炫技演出,但我不認為那支Bass真有什麼神奇魔力,優異的編曲、製作能力才是讓專輯悅耳出色的主因;他的Jazz融合了許多R&B, Funk, Smooth Jazz的特性,歌曲的表情因此顯得多元而豐富,專輯中也重新詮釋了包括:Stevie Wonder、Miles Davis...等名家的經典老歌,這些歌曲經由他的巧手改編,硬是變成了一首首活潑生動的Jazz Funk或是像Track 10般極其優美的Smooth Jazz(這是我聽過最棒的一個When I Fall In Love!)。

Little Louie Vega - Here And Now




















Little Louie Vega,本名為Luis Fernando Vager,陸續看他的名字出現在各大House合輯也有好幾年的時間了,卻從來沒有對他去進行更深一層的認識,直到這張Here And Now的發行才讓我真正領教到這位資深House DJ的精彩手藝。他的選曲多數落在具有濃厚靈魂、拉丁風味的歌曲上,再和他那優雅而輕盈的House節拍調和後,呈現出熱情卻很放鬆的聽覺感受,不論是在舞池裡的縱情搖曳或是當作輕輕律動的背景音樂都非常適宜。

Nu:Tone - Medical History
















初聽專輯的前兩首歌時有那麼一點失望,我以為這將會是一張硬邦邦的DnB專輯,還好在第三首歌開始以後,又陸續聽到了一些Nu:Tone一直以來融合Liquid Funk, Soulful風味之鼓打貝斯。還是可以感覺到Nu:Tone在做一些調整與改變,自上一張專輯Back Of Beyond開始,他的音樂表現方式越來越簡約,歌曲中華麗的間奏與鋪陳已經淡化了許多,連旋律的部份都被稀釋成又輕又薄,一切回歸到鼓點和節拍的變化趣味之中。

Paris Match - After Six




















在經過Flight 7的洗禮之後,我開始去挖掘這個相見恨晚的樂隊作品,於是找到了這片after 6,細聽了兩三遍之後,我喜歡這張專輯的程度甚至已經超越了他們的新專輯。這張after 6是他們2006年的作品,整體的音樂內容從開始的Jazz Funk, Acid Jazz到中後段的Smooth Jazz, Bossa Nova都讓我醉心無比、捨不得離開,尤其在樂器的彈奏配置上更是完全命中我的要害,輕輕刷扣的吉他聲伴隨著音色極其優美的鍵盤演奏,還有那些帶有濃郁椰林風味的管樂,將那些愉悅的旋律詮釋的豐富而近乎完美,充份地滋潤了我的耳腔。

Holler, Wild Rose! - Our Little Hymnal




















Holler, Wild Rose! 來自紐澤西的硬地、後搖樂隊,他們的音樂詩意盎然並且具有十足的張力,除了在編曲上的能量掌控之外,主唱John Mosloskie驚人的演唱功力也是歌曲扣人心弦的重要因素,聽到這張專輯的優美線條,我很自然的又開始回憶起許多以往聽過的一些團體,包括:Sigur Ros, Radiohead, 甚至是搖滾鼻祖Led Zeppelin...並不是要說他們有誰的影子,而是歌曲所帶來的感動讓我不自覺的去做了一些連結。

EnterStereo - Heaven Trip




















數位音樂時代降臨,當人們聽音樂的模式已經轉到電腦上時,相對的檔案分享、下載趨勢已經無法避免,也因為網路的流通性百家爭鳴的時代來臨!有太多的音樂人、太多好音樂!讓你會覺得音樂太多根本沒時間聽!也不知從何聽起!那麼多的音樂銷售管道,如實體唱片、網路付費下載,都是那麼擠破頭想衝營業額的時代,銷售量卻沒有增加。

"聽音樂需要付多少費用?" 以趨勢來說!我們覺得已經是取決於聽眾了...我們知道英國天團radiohead的創舉,網路自由樂捐下載最新專輯!也正式宣告這個時代的降臨!我們思考那以我們回聲唱片來說~ 連聽眾都不多了,要收多少錢?讓喜歡我們音樂的朋友擁有歌曲?以新觀念、新廠牌的推廣來說,應該有新的模式,說直接的,假設連音樂都很少人聽的到,還奢望能賣幾張?收多少下載費?有一些朋友常會問到我們EnterStereo何時會出唱片?一定會捧場~在此先感謝這些朋友的支持!遲遲不發行CD,我們一直在思考的也就是付費購買,對於廠牌的推廣似乎沒有任何幫助!高單價的消費性購買CD模式,反而是推廣新音樂的一個阻礙!

我們決定將EnterStereo的首張專輯 Heaven Trip 做一個台灣最勇敢的發行!完全免費專輯網路下載發行!

不透過任何的商業通路!以推廣角度來想!只希望更多喜歡舞曲音樂的朋友能幫我們口耳相傳推廣!假設有那麼一天,當很多朋友都希望有實體專輯來購買收藏時~我們再做實體cd發行!
聆聽好音樂不需要付費!請轉化以行動來支持你喜歡的音樂!只希望當你喜歡這張專輯,聽完他、收藏他之後~請把這個訊息告訴你身邊所有愛好音樂的朋友們!

The Field - Sound Of Light [EP]




















什麼時候跳針竟也成為一門藝術啊?The Field的這個絕活真是屌傲八方,以後如果聽他的唱片沒有跳針急煞車,那真的會非常的不爽、非常的不過癮,也只有他的作品中有這種特殊的音頻可以帶領你進入那種數位、抽象但是很輕快、很陽光的奇妙世界。雖然只有四首歌,但是仍然有一個完整概念的表現,你可以清處辨識出早午晚的差異性和演進的感覺,The Field的音樂形式簡約,事實上卻處處玄機,我越深入的去挖掘就不自覺地越來越喜歡他。
