BT - These Hopeful Machines

雖然那個很娘砲的Vocal還是繼續出現在BT的新專輯中，但是，我還是得說...這是一張充滿強烈革命氣息的電子舞曲專輯！從開場奔放的搖滾聲浪到中段寂靜沈思的小品電子民謠，再從Club的喧鬧舞動漸變為短捷銳利的Minimal，甚至是IDM的實驗概念音色...BT這次卯起來火力全開了！帶領我們一窺他集17年功力所創造出來的百變萬花筒世界！

Sean Tyas - Ivy / Tingle

這幾天複習Subculture這張John O`Callaghan的混音輯時，聽到了這首深深打動我心的單曲 - Sean Tyas的Ivy，跳躍的鼓點和飄逸的音符讓我有一時片刻神遊到了某戶外趴的舞池中心，交織著汗水和一顆極度祥和的心，我已經開始想念那燥熱但充滿活力的夏天了....

Straightener - Man-like Creatures

極好聽的一張EP！已經不再像從前的Alternative那般的音壓迫人，新思惟的加入換來的是更富詩意的精巧聽覺享受，特別是後面三個版本，將Vocal抽離或是退後再加入迷人的電氣分子，就像是後搖滾那樣的寬闊想像空間，將原曲衍生出完全不同的意境，美麗的音符旋律讓人深陷其中無法自拔。

Bend Like Branches - Sorry So Slow

剛開始，我對於這張專輯的Vocal表現感到有點錯愕，實驗音樂非得要唱的這麼垮嗎？但是，又很喜歡他們運用電音特效和原音彈奏堆疊出來的微妙氛圍，其中有許多的橋段還真像是沒有譜的即興演出，可能也因為這樣獨特的方式，才能突顯出其中迷人的陌生感、疏離感，細聽幾次之後我變得越來越喜歡這味道，畫面也隨著深入的程度豐富了起來。

※ Purling和Sleet這兩曲實在是淒美動人啊！

Serphonic - Sounds Of My Life

Music consumer and producer since 2001. He made his first experiences in producing music in 1998 when he was about 13 years old. Started with simple flashgames like Turntables and Phonatix. A little bit later he made also the first experiences in mixing with Rebirth.
For about 5 years he was one of the beatmakers and background-DJ of Los Enatschos, which is now part of Keeloo Entertainment.
His music is sample based and most influenced by all kinds of worldmusic. Its a genremix of downtempo / electro / experimental. Most of the tracks are melancholic and “smooth with a breeze of bounce”.
Now he is working the most time with Ableton Live, a few vst-instruments and a lot of samples. Some parts of his music is recorded with Guitar, others played with midi keyboards.
