The Field – Yesterday And Today




















2007年,瑞典電音巫師Axel Willner化名為The Field,以首張專輯From Here We Go Sublime震驚全球舞池。他把極微科技舞曲(Minimal Techno)包裝成前所未見的可口形態 -- 不停重複的催眠節拍、如地底暗流層層翻騰的絕美旋律,甚至帶點Shoegazing式的朦朧音牆。有幸見識The Field替!!!暖場,!!!的風采完全被搶走。

接續作品Yesterday and Today同樣由德國名廠Kompakt發行,撇開有些偷懶(幾乎與上張一模一樣)的封面,曲目精練為六首,其中三首是超過十分鐘的野心長篇。招牌的宇宙漫遊感仍在,可喜的是這回還多了幾分人味,曾來台演出的Battles鼓手John Stanier便在專輯同名曲獻上他的超凡鼓技。

Dulce & Caricia!


老話重提,音樂這回事....再多的包裝與理念,都不如一段美妙的旋律來得直接有力量!
這首歌,每隔一段時間我就會搬出來回味,這樣子往復大概有十年之久了,就如同今天,我讓Dulce溢滿了整個下午,一直到下班。驚喜不再,但感動到差點老淚縱橫....何需歌詞?故事自然會尋著旋律浮現的,雲淡風輕卻發人省思、輕描淡寫卻深深刻劃。


補上一曲同樣是甜蜜中帶點哀傷的Caricia!
