绵谷升的音乐

By the end of the year, I hunted this long-lost treasure. That was 1980's, and I spent hours watching MTV's music videos. The radioactive song was weirdly fascinating, and I fell in love with the rhythm pattern, the bassline and the guitar noises. Today, as a lightening strike, All of sudden, I have been brought back to eighties, and the boy inside of me came alive.

Being a genius, the artist named Prince plays multiple musical instruments, writes his own songs, and does all the arrangements. His musical influence seems come from a great variety of sources. He funks, punks, rocks, souls, pops, and hip-hops. And the result is that you never get tired of his music. Prince, now in his fifties, doesn't seem aged. He is still the person who can make a scene in terms of music. Some chick wrote some where that Prince was the only fifty-year-old singer that can sign their breasts. well, that was a strong statement, not only because Prince still has sexual appeal to women but also proved that his music still echoes with the time. When other rock artists faded, or turn their music tastes toward more complicated music such as Jazz( Sting, in this case), Prince still brings loud, raw, and screams like when we first heard him in 1980's. Prince is a guitar hero, but largely underrated. His guitar playing is quite Jimi Henderix-esque in my opinion, which delivers strong emotional message. He guitar sings, weeps, screams, moans, and flirts in the music. The interaction between guitar and other instruments is tightly integrated. The guitar tone is tube powered, which delivers a raw and warm sounding. I found that the album is much guitar oriented, the come back of the guitar solo is exciting. Every song has a catchy melody as always. It seems that Prince's Muse has always been with him all these years, and his music shines... like a crazy diamond. Rock on, Prince.

"You are entering one of the most mysterious misunderstood places on face of the earth..." a deep echoing voice states in the intro, and Mr. Buckethead let his guitar run the geographic surface of this area. Introduce the KIllswitch, a button on a guitar that memotarily mute the audio. Mr. Buckethead uses such a device to generates that off-on heavily distorted licks, which bear a resemblance to notorious woodpecker signals Soviet Union sent around the world annoying many short-wave radio listeners in the eighties. But this woodpecker sound best represents the mysterious areas such as Bermuda Triangle. An instrumental album requires much of your imagination to appreciate it, I find that many of the instrumental music are best for background music, but this album stands out, it's interesting, it has many repeated licks in conjunction with electronic elements--programmed drums, sample speeches, as well as DJ things. Mr. Buckethead 's guitar genre explores into many fields, shredding, of course, noise-making, soloing, duh! maybe finger-picking, and those licks are fascinating to listen to. I am surprised that I have listened so many times in days. As a child, I loved reading those mysterious stuff, I carried those magazines around--the disappearance of Flight 19, Third contact, unexplainable phenomenon. This album brings me back to those days. Here I hooray for Mr. Buckethead for his creativity, his imagination. I have seen this early interview with Buckethead, he seems to have speech problems, but his guitar says for him, and it's articulate and loud, and it's convincing.

Look at the cover, man. 唱片封面是“The good, the Bad and the Ugly" 一类电影封面的Parody,站在荒地上的三个人，New Frontier 时期的outlaw彪悍的样子，特别是那条披肩，让人瞬间想到所有西部电影中的俗套。 上个世纪九十年代，我买过一张CD, 叫《Power Ballad》，里面净是一些Hair Metal 时代的大俗曲儿。 但是其中有一首“Ace of Spades"，给我留下了深刻的印象。用三个词来形容： Loud, Raw, and Addictive. 首先冲出来的是Distortion Bass 的粗糙而强有力的节拍，鼓在其后雨点般的加入，随后是不加Mute的失真吉他，Lemmy在着一堆嘈杂声中唱出了颇有豪情的Lyrics: If you like gamble, I tell you I am your man, You win some , lose some, It's all the same to me.... 简单的和弦，粗糙的吉他，和Lemmy 那特有的低沉粗哑的嗓音，让人欲罢不能。 这就是MoterHead, 简单粗暴的摇滚。让人兴奋，让人血脉喷张，让人想天马行空。
