20070920 小果 - 晴天娃娃

专辑名称：晴天娃娃
唱片公司：星外星
歌手姓名：小果
发行日期：2007年09月20日
专辑语言：国语专辑1CD

现在我确信人是有幻觉的
如果不是昨天我在海的blog看到关于小果的东西我大概现在还以为这张是我更新过的
小果是个来自云南的女生她在几年前就只身离家在广州和北京之间闯荡
她曾在广州组过乐队在北京和广州的民歌餐厅唱过歌
终于在去年在星外星的帮助下她发行了这张《晴天娃娃》完成了她一直以来的唱片梦
这是一个很干净的声音一张旋律很棒的民谣专辑
也许是因为她没有发过唱片她写的这些歌也只是因为自己的喜好所以听起来是那么清新自然
第一次听到她的声音是在论坛的网络电台他们写好了稿子让我照着念稿子里的词有些夸张我已经不记得了
只记得我听到那首《夏末》的时候有一种久违的惊喜于是在录完那个之后立刻找来了整张专辑
我还记得我听完之后一激动就把它上传了刚才居然没有搜到一定是传完就放下了忘了更新
也好现在这个时候听这首歌这张专辑应该是最合适的了如果来这的朋友还没有听过这张一年前的唱片现在推荐

专辑简介：

　　2007年09月20日，由广东星外星唱片推出的“星外星独立音乐盛宴”观点系列30张唱片，低调的陈列在全国各处的大小音像店中。不是以资纪念，因为当下的民谣已经不需要祭奠，当人们开始经常回味这种音乐，也意味着民谣这种孤独的表达，不再是少数人的珍藏，所以不妨一起来欣赏独立民谣的绽放，为民谣音乐作为一种文化的兴盛而微笑。

　　原创、原色、原味的梦幻青春物语；梦童情怀与成人世界的奇妙碰撞！做回天真的儿童吧，人间不过是个游乐场！

Peter Bradley Adams - Leavetaking

musicdt — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 23:11:32 +0800

Peter Bradley Adams - Leavetaking

专辑歌手 : Peter Bradley Adams
专辑名称 : Leavetaking
唱片公司 : Sarathan Records
发行时间 : 2008年08月05日
专辑风格 : Indie Pop / Folk

这张《Leavetaking》是从鸟先生的blog淘来的碟虽然不认识他还是要感谢一下
已经从他那淘了好几张这种安静的风格了很喜欢又是一个适合睡觉时候听的干净声音
听第一首歌感觉声音很像Keith Urban 后面的就没这种感觉了
很静静的不像正式的录音室专辑倒像是个Acoustic
这个封套很特别应该是一只鸟来的在网上找了很久发现都是维度300的封套还以为Amazon没有
兜了一圈最后反而在Amazon收到标准规格纬度500的图这才更新了上来
喜欢独立民谣安静清澈男声的朋友可以尝试戴上耳机听的感觉就像泉水流过耳边舒服

专辑介绍：

深夜，戴上耳机，你能被这个真实的声音，安谧的旋律彻底的打动，不自觉地听上一遍又一遍。开场曲”The Longer Run”是首甜美动人的美式田园调调,编曲让我联想到Red House Painters,想象一幅幸福阳光的美丽场景吧。”Los Angeles”间断稀疏的钢琴伴奏和着Peter的温暖的声线，安抚受伤心灵的绝美吟唱。
当班卓琴演奏浓烈的加入”I’ll Forget You”，很明亮的一首兰草乐呈现在大家面前。”So Are You To Me”显现eastmountainsouth最初风格，简单的情歌，Adams为了他妹妹的婚礼而写。”Song For Viola”又以为乐器演奏为主加入悠扬的中提琴结束整张专辑，意犹未尽。太多的溢美之辞也无法形容这张专辑安宁平和带来的感动，即使你和我一样不爱听民谣乡村也不妨一试。琴弦落下，思绪而起，声音落幕，平静如初。

曲目列表:

01. The Longer I Run
02. Los Angeles
03. I’ll Forget You
04. Under My Skin
05. Always
06. So Are You to Me
07. Ohio
08. Keep Us
09. Song for Viola

所谓真实

Poisson — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 18:03:33 +0800

昨天被拖去饭局，然后今天是家里有客人。

那么，就简单分享点照片吧。就是我家附近，说起来是现代都市和古老城厢冲击最直观的区域。

在背景上可以看到的漂亮高楼叫做士林华苑，售价甚高，堪称豪宅。但是从豪宅的窗口看出去呢？璀璨的江景，夜晚的霓虹自然是逃不掉，脚下连基本卫生设施都没有的贫民窟，同样一览无遗。

所谓真实，就是不以主观意志为转移的。

Dido - 2 Singles From New Album

20080906 Dido - 2 New Singles

Dido 这个来自英国伦敦的才女被滚石杂志评为全球最好的声音之一
她出道多年却只发行过两张正式的录音室专辑
一首《Thank You》被Eminem拼贴进了自己的歌曲《Stan》这也让Dido的知名度大增
她的第三张专辑去年年底就传出将要发行却一直拖到现在
不过大家不需要再等很久了新专辑《Safe Trip Home》已确定将于11月4日发行
而在这之前 Dido官网就先期提供了首波主打《Look No Further》的免费下载
一首慢歌很小资很Dido 还是那把无法复制的好声音再加上诗一样的歌词
一起打包的是据说将于9月9日发行的第二首单曲《Don’t Believe In Love》
这是一首轻快的Basanova曲风旋律上不及《Look No Future》清新感觉却依然很好
大家一起耐心等待她的归来吧附上《Look No Future》歌词

Look No Future

I might have been a singer
who sailed around the world

a gambler who wins milions
and spent it all on girls

I might have been a poet
who walked upon the moon

a scientist who would tell the world
I discovered something new

I might have loved a king
been the one to enter war

a criminal who drinks champain
and never could be caught

but among your books
among your clothes
among the noise and fuss
I’ve let it go

I can’t stop and catch my breath
and look no further, for hapiness
and I will not turn again
cause my heart, has found it’s home

everyone I’ll never meet
and the friends I wont now make
the adventures that they could have been
and the risks I’ll never take

but among your books
among your clothes
among your noise and fuss
I’ve let it go

I can’t stop and catch my breath
and look no further, for hapiness
and I will not turn again
cause my heart, has found it’s home

Wayne Jackson - The Long Goodbye

musicdt — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:41:56 +0800

Wayne Jackson - The Long Goodbye

专辑名称：The Long Goodbye
歌手姓名：Wayne Jackson
唱片公司：Columbia
发行日期：2008年8月15日
专辑流派：Rock/Pop

黑白分明的色调轮廓鲜明的冷峻的脸促使我第一时间就想要去听到这张唱片
果然没错又是个沧桑的声音一个很有力量也可以很深情的声音
声音是有些沙哑的那种找一个参照的声音我会想到《Once》的男主角Glen Hansard
不过这张更偏摇滚近英伦的那种没Glen Hansard那么安静
专辑中有大体有两种风格一种是钢琴和吉他铺陈的情歌虽然编曲可能很闹但是掩不住他声音里的温柔
另一种是偏中快板的摇滚虽然不能完全听懂他唱的是什么但能感觉到他情绪的喷张
而这两种风格中以前者为主我总是说自己对这种沧桑的老男人的铁汉柔情是没什么抵抗力的
他的低音很沉高音很特别没那么亮偶然冒出的一个近乎破音的真假声转换反而让人很有感觉
极力推荐的两首单曲是《The Storm》和《Radar》喜欢摇滚的朋友可以尝试一下

专辑介绍：

Bill Shankly the legendary football trainer of Liverpool FC in the 60s and early 70s once famously said…..”Football’s not a matter of life and death … it’s more important than that.” He was mistaken of course. If he’d substituted music for football he’d have been much more accurate.

Aged 15, in an average rainy Manchester suburb, Wayne Jackson informed his sports teacher he would no longer be participating in the school football team and in future would be spending his time in other more productive ways. Typically, this would be attempting to play an electric guitar at deafening volumes through an old WEM amplifier belonging to his oldest brother.

Sadly it all sounded rather uninspiring until one day the very same brother returned home from work with a tape delay echo effect machine. Immediately after plugging it in and wiring it up, Wayne was able to replicate the more ambitious sounds of his favourite bands U2, The Chameleons and Joy Division. From this point on, it was obvious where his passions lay. Manchester City Football Club would have to look elsewhere. Over the course of the following years, the echo machine remained on. It became part of the fabric of his guitar sound.

Switch scenes to the Hansa studios in Berlin, 20 years later, and Wayne can still be found playing his electric guitar at deafening volumes through an old Vox amplifier this time, but the old tape delay is still there. Not the original one of course. This was lost along the way, swapped in a misguided attempt at progress in the early 80s for a plastic digital effect from Japan. Everybody makes mistakes. But this time he’s laying down guitar tracks for his first solo album with the renown Swedish producer and mixer Michael Ilbert (The Cardigans, The Hives, Supergrass, The Hellacopters).

The intervening years were not uninteresting. Wayne’s brother again reappeared as a catalyst when he left his day job and became a live sound engineer. Over the next 15 years he would work for a whole host of seminal groups; New Order, The Stone Roses, The Smiths, The Happy Mondays, Electronic, The The, Primal Scream, Oasis and The Chemical Brothers. Wayne was often invited along to shows as a teenager and was able to see things from the shadows of backstage.

Wayne left Manchester to study at the University of Wales aged 18 and never stopped moving. He graduated with a degree in English Literature and formed a band called the Dostoyevskys. They signed to Go!Discs in London and began touring extensively in the UK and Germany. They crossed paths with fellow Mancunians Oasis and supported them at the height of their fame on two legs of their European tour.

Eventually Wayne decided the band no longer fitted his needs and he split the group to focus on his more personal solo material.

He fell in love with a girl from Berlin, packed his possessions and crossed the channel heading for the old German capitol.

His new Berlin life offered fewer distractions. It was a kind of spiritual exile. He wrote songs prolifically, day after day sitting in the small Berlin apartment he shared with his girlfriend. He started to train kickboxing and several years later entered into the German championships achieving a semi-final spot.

Along the way he co-produced, co-wrote songs and played his echo guitar on the solo album of German punk legend and friend Bela B. He also joined Bela on tour as part of the Los Helmstedt band. The Echo Award nominated album peaked at number 2 in the German charts and achieved wide critical acclaim. They headlined at Rock Am Ring, Rock Im Park and the MTV Campus Invasion.

He also played a similar role for another member of the flourishing Bela B. family, Lula. Her delicious album entitled “Lost In Reverie” will be released this year too.

Switch scenes again. It’s December 2004 and it’s the birthday party of world famous Trance DJ Paul Van Dyk. Wayne’s manager hands Paul a demo featuring a few of Wayne’s songs. Paul was so inspired by the voice, he immediately wrote a track for Wayne to sing. The layout was sent and over Christmas Wayne furiously added lyrics, a vocal melody and guitar harmonies and the track Glorious was born. Paul then asked him to do a similar job on a second track called The Other Side which. This appeared on Paul’s Politics Of Dancing 2 album and was released as a single world wide. Wayne also sang live with Paul at a number of live shows culminating in a performance in Central Park, New York in front of a sell out crowd of over 10,000 people. Glorious will now finally see the light of day as Wayne’s first single.

Record deal offers came and went with the seasons, but none of the situations seemed right. Pavarotti once said “Compare music to drinks. Some is like a strong brandy. Some is like a fine wine. The music you’re playing sounds like Diet Coke.” Sadly the labels chasing Wayne seemed to be more interested in no name cola.

For a brief period it looked like Wayne might relocate to the US, after whisperings of typically fabulous record deals, but unsurprisingly he returned to his second home Berlin and signed to the fledging label BPX 1992 headed by the iconic figure of Fitz Braum. It was no coincidence it was also the home of Bela B. and Lula. For the first time since leaving Manchester it felt like he had found a new family.

Wayne’s new album has fittingly enough been recorded in Berlin. It features a guest appearance on violin from Goldfrapp’s Davide Rossi who has also recently added his flavours to the new Coldplay album. Apart from the drums which were played by Swedish maestro Christer Jansson, the rest of the instruments were played entirely by Wayne himself. Producer Michael Ilbert also managed to organize the first live recording in the Meistersaal in Hansa studios, the room where Bowie’s Heroes, U2’s Achtung Baby, and many other important songs were recorded. It was the first session there for 17 years. The studio was closed and stripped soon after U2 left in 1990.

The songs unashamedly hark back to the kind of sounds Wayne was listening to all those years ago in Manchester. It’s time. The circle is complete.

Wayne’s new single Glorious is available now on Itunes in Germany. On May 9th it will be available for the rest of the world on Itunes.
