Rare Live Recordings, 1934-1959的评论   5 star rating5 star rating5 star rating5 star rating5 star rating 5


  1964年纽约的一名律师,Bernard Stollman由对艺术极度狂热,所以自己动手创立了一间音乐厂牌——ESP-Disk。由此开始了ESP-Disk的传奇故事。
  
  1964年7月,首张专辑出版,该专辑是于当时在国际即兴音乐界十分著名的乐手Albert Ayler的“Spiritual Unity”唱片。唱片出版随即引来广泛的赞誉。厂牌出版的专辑也随之得到乐迷的留意。ESP的出品在当时是十分前卫的。它不单表现了上世纪六七十年代地 下音乐和Avant-Garde的状况,而且它还成为了一个以美学与艺术观念置于其经济收益上的厂牌的典范。
  
  唱片公司在其十二年的生涯当中,曾数度变革,但每一次变革都能让某种的新的音乐形态成为主导。ESP在六十年代发行了对自由爵士及前卫爵士颇具影响力的作 品:Albert Ayler及其数支乐队、Pharoah Sanders、Sun Ra、“自由爵士之父”Ornette Coleman、Bob James、The New York Art Quartet、Patty Waters等人的唱片,这些人都是当时自由爵士和前卫爵士乐界数一数二的风头人物,这令到厂牌名声大噪。ESP靠其独特的运行方式吸引了大量不知名的乐 手,因为在ESP出唱片的乐手将不会受到唱片公司的约束,得到最大的自由:他们可以自己监制自己的唱片,选择自己的乐手,甚至封套的设计。这种做法后来成 为了大部分独立厂牌的创作指标。在每张LP的内页当中都有一句这样富有哲学意味的话:“The artists alone decide what you will hear on their ESP Disk.”
  
  后来ESP把目光投向了摇滚市场,但“市场”并没有看好ESP。ESP只是在六十年代中期出过寥寥几个乐队如Godz和The Fugs等的唱片。ESP也对民谣感兴趣,也曾为Holy Modal Rounders和Pearls Before Swine等人出过一些所谓的“新民谣”。甚至“跨掉的一代”作家William S. Burroughs和Dr. Timothy Leary的说话片断也曾在ESP被混音。无疑,在ESP的唱片目录中,会有着很多的古怪的音乐品种出现。七十年代,ESP开始衰退,要不是靠再版一些怀 旧作品,像Charlie Parker和Billie Holiday等人的唱片,它可能更快就消亡了。但该公司最终仍然是由于经济的问题,于1976年结束运作。
  
  如今,原版的ESP的出品是很珍贵的,尽管世界上有许多厂牌都再版这些唱片,但ESP这个名字,依然是ESP的最好。进入2000年,ESP-Disk又从新开始运作,但出版的都是原来的旧作,新的制作到目前仍然不见动静。
