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!
