听Die Verbannten Kinder Evas《Dusk and Void became alive》
是我听过的Darkwave最好的专辑之一。人声的层次编排的非常好,非常好听。
The music is far more polyphonic again, and due to the new singer "Christina" who has a much higher voice and greater pitch range, i could focus much more on female 2 voices tunes. Although this album braught back the polyphony of "Come Heavy Sleep" it kept the darker style of "In Darkness Let Me Dwell", and also contains more complex kettle drum rhythms.
The lyrics are this time from John Dowland and Girgori Petrenko (who also wrote several lyrics for my dark electro project Ice Ages).
Die verbannten Kinder Evas这支上世纪Darkwave的经典乐队,新古典流派所剩不多的皇族血脉,终于在相隔七年后发行了新专辑Dusk and Void Became Alive。DVKE作为德系新古典的中流砥柱,留给我们最深的印象,是其沉重的使命感与历史感,给人在听觉上的感受也有别于同期其他新古典乐队的清晰,如同其专辑封面一样粗砺混沌。在经历了1999年In Darkness Let Me Dwell的完美颠峰之后,这次我们迎来了一个更加内敛的爱娃。音乐主题依然沉重宿命,但由于缺少了Richard沉重悲凉的男声,DVKE标志性的雄浑力量流失了不少;更换的女主音一人担当了大部分多重演唱,尽管沉重的军鼓依然是主角,原有的悲凉大气却已悄然转换成阴郁唯美。似乎进入新千年以来,早期新古典大牌们的回归之作都收敛内省了很多,Stoa、Ophelia's Dream莫不如此。但如果说DVKE这次失了水准也实为不公,乐队的音乐理念已经发生了变化,以前的完美也不可能被无意义重复。尤其是女声多重演唱上下足了功夫,在Winter's Light里Christina的高音部分如九天凤鸣,实在令人叹为观止。第二首Mistrust与结束曲Catharsis凄美的音符响起的时候,一瞬间就将我们带回二十世纪九十年代,那个新古典的鼎盛时光。爱娃被流放的孩子,她的这次回归依然值得我们尊敬,因为她在维持着Dark Wave流派最后的高贵与优雅。
