Yasushi Yoshida - Little Grace

大概是從Yindi Halda開始，總覺得若再多聽一些這種鋼琴、提琴聲的跨界融合音樂，我大概也會開始迷戀一輩子都沒想到要聽的古典樂或交響樂了。這張專輯如果你用聆聽一般後搖滾的角度去聽它，恐怕會有點錯愕，因為你可能聽完整張專輯也等不到那個波浪高潮，它確實比較像一張古典樂或是電影配樂，但是，它卻很適合獨自在角落裡享受著，聽著它柔美、沈靜的曲調，自然會有許多故事在你的心中成形，再轉換為一幅幅美麗的畫面。

Odessi - Beyond The Sound

Odessi是由Progressive界幾位製作人Mick Park, Andy Moor, Leama and Maria Naylor結合而成的Project，2008年新作Beyond The Sound真是一首出色的單曲，個人特別喜歡Pavliga Remix，短而尖銳的Techy音色和雄渾的Bassline共同構成一道道音牆，連硬漢聽到恐怕都會忍不住跟著節拍抖動起來。

Iiro Rantala New Trio - Elmo

這個有趣的芬蘭爵士三重奏由鍵盤手Iiro Rantala、吉他手Marzi Nyman和一位Beatbox鬼才Felix Zenger所組成，呵呵～我甚至於還沒聽到他們演出就笑出來了，因為這實在是很創新、很絕妙的構成方式！他們的爵士聽起來就像是有三股力量交會在一起，常常是一分鐘前後風格完全迥異，跳Tone跳很大！三位樂手的音樂特質不盡相同卻可以和諧共鳴，Piano的彈奏除了輕快跳躍的爵士之外，也出現了大量的古典樂基調，即興加入的口技節拍聲響則讓整個過程有趣了許多，而吉他手適時飆出按耐不住的藍調搖滾，也能令人精神為之一振，最後一首歌，重新詮釋了吉他之神-Jimi Hendrix名作Little Wing，真是一個令人大呼過癮的完美Ending！

聽到這張作品的律動與質感，我出現了類似第一次聽到Andy Moor的感動心情，毫無預警的！一個Nobody繳出了一張高分成績單！漂亮的旋律跑動、細膩的音色節拍處理讓Dinka的Progressive同時擁有具深度的迷幻空間感和高亢的舞動能量，沈穩而內斂的雕琢演繹更有超越諸多前輩的氣勢，絕對是舞曲愛好者要好好關注的對象！

Jakatta - Visions

以"美國心．玫瑰情“電影主題曲American Dream貫穿整張專輯，因此，這張專輯具有很強烈的主題性和畫面結構，時而低迷時而輕快的Downtempo和House衍生出多元的情境與氛圍，但那飄逸的鋼琴聲總會適時將你拉回到原來位置，讓你在神遊於優美樂音的同時亦能感受到Jakatta對於完整概念詮釋的精讚能力。
