Seva K - The Album

Seva K (real name Vsevolod Khalepo) who's one of the most experienced electronic artists of Novgorod in the heart of Russia delivers a 4-track EP making his debut under name of Seva K. Feeling of a Measure EP kicks off 4 energetic tracks in mixed sub genres - from deep to electronic. 'Even More' is a special one - broken beats with bass on reverb reminds of Trentemoller style. 'Far Away' - has more dramatic feelings in deep pads. 'Can't Wait' strikes with hypnotizing sound with fantastic harmony and stretchy bass lines. Our title track - 'Feeling of a Measure' - is absolutely up-to-date dance-floor weapon. Excellent groove , driving bass and exploding keypads won't let you listen to it without heading to the dance-floor.

Incognito - More Tales Remixed

曾幾何時，過多的Funky House被過度的包裝變成時尚音樂，導致很多人聽到這些歡娛的音樂總不會用太深入的角度去聽它，但是經過一段沉潛，Funky House的熱潮似乎又回來了，這次更挾帶了各方曲風的精華，頗有復興之感。專輯第一首就為大家送上好久不見的Dimitri from Paris這個法國迪斯可怪傑所重新混音的〈Step Aside〉，浪漫的管樂聲效鋪陳在愉悅的浩室節拍之下，直接讓我們緬懷那電子舞曲的天真美好時光，Incognito這個英國廠牌近二十年的努力果然開花結果，合輯的收歌已然達到一線大廠的姿態。在這個不景氣的年代，這張合輯或許可以讓我們暫時逃避低潮，一起盡情解放。(文章來自映象唱片)

芭樂時間

一直以來，聽到南拳媽媽這個名字，就會直接聯想到一堆國高中生爭相簽名的畫面，所以，基本上他們一直是我不會想去接觸的團體，直到下雨天這首歌幾個月來的電台強力播放，我才開始好奇這是誰？清亮的歌喉加上一些搖滾的味道，好芭樂但是好好聽哪！於是，細細的將他們的新歌加精選輯聽了幾遍，當然囉！不可能盡如我意，但是裡面真的有些不錯的東西，至少在流行樂壇中也算是有些想法的團體。


[ 南拳媽媽 - 下雨天 ]
※Lara的嗓音好迷人啊！幫南拳媽媽在整體上加了不少分數！熟女派有Joana撐著，甜美系女聲就交給Lara來處理吧！


[ 南拳媽媽 - 第二個爸爸 ]
※"第二個爸爸"寫給父親、另一首很棒的歌曲叫做"吃妳煮的魚"寫給母親，用英式搖滾向偉大的雙親致敬！


[ 南拳媽媽 - 小時候 ]
※唱出了許多人的心聲，年紀大到一個地步就開始懷念起從前，低調的念歌加上硬式搖滾，好聽！(宇豪的表情可不可以不要那麼落寞啊？冏)


[ 南拳媽媽 - 悄悄告訴她 ]
※開場就很有Feel啦！雖然彈頭稚嫩的嗓音個人並不喜歡，但後面因為有Lara的加持，歌曲就變得更加完整了。

Spyro Gyra - Good To Go-Go

成立30年的爵士光環樂團，從1979年以『Morning Dance』一舉成名後，原本是一群錄音室伴奏樂手的組合，從此成為融合爵士樂風的重量級樂團。然而經過多年的歷練與成長，團員也數次更動，但是爵士光環就像團名一樣的歷久不衰。 他們就好比是音樂的長跑健將，對於創作的執著與堅持依舊。不過，2007年的最新專輯『即興趴趴走』當中也加入一位來自千里達的鼓手與打擊樂手Bonny B。

這次的錄音對於團員而言，可說是一種全新的體驗。過去錄音專輯發表時，往往為了商業考量，許多演奏細節一再斟酌更動。當Bonny B加入時，大夥一起巡演好幾個月。在默契良好之下，整個錄音演奏時就如同現場演出的快活。這種如臨現場的興奮與緊張壓力，讓樂團成員變得更年輕有活力。一曲「Get Busy」不但輕盈暢快，節奏特性更是無與倫比。由Bonny B所創作的樂曲「Jam Up」，不僅結合千里達鋼鼓與雷鬼節奏，Bonny的俏皮嘻哈更是一絕。「Easy Street」則是略帶懷舊的典型樂團風格與「Winter Tale」的浪漫舖陳形成對比的趣味。當然即興活力全開的標題曲「Good To Go Go」，更代表了樂團忠於音樂的信念。本輯絕對是樂迷讚不絕口的錄音傑作。

Wixel - Somewhere Between The Sun And The Moon

Wixel的音樂就像煙霧一般，看得到卻摸不到，很平靜、很和緩的依循著他們所要的節奏前進，沒有過多的背景音樂，只有吉他在你耳邊輕聲細語，卻能牢牢的抓著你一同進到那個虛幻而遙遠的時空中飛行，大概就像Fink加上Helios的感覺，很冬天的Tone調！剛開始聽時，我以為我大概會聽不完如此靜態的一張專輯，在我放寬心去接納它之後，真的有享受到，很舒坦！甚至覺得42分鐘就結束是很可惜的一件事...。

Kubatko - Should I Run

美妙的深度空間感透過水一般的Ambient無限蔓延，鼓點的變化也從開始的Progressive House漸變為短捷閃爍的Drum & Bass，最後再以非常Chillout的緩拍結束，不著痕跡的將所有歌曲組織成一個有趣而完整的大單元。雖然這僅是Kubatko的首發專輯，對於他的認識仍然很淺薄，但是，透過音樂的傳達，我們可以確定的是，這傢伙是個鬼才，他擁有將節拍與旋律轉換為絕美畫作的超凡能力。
