一把纯粹想象出来的刀
一晚上失眠听专辑循环了13遍。外加两包零三根烟。
从Windows Media 看到专辑评论的一段话感觉他的措辞很精准:
Producers of dance music (or any music, for that matter) can innovate all they want, but without great songs and excellent productions, they'll never add much to the canon of great records. James Shaw and James Ford, who make up Simian Mobile Disco, are a pair of producers who may not innovate very much -- their chosen field, acid house and acid techno, are relative dinosaurs in the genre -- but they impress much more with the excitement and energy of their productions and songs. There haven't been half a dozen other dance records since Daft Punk's Homework that carry such a raft of great productions, or balance so well what it sounds like to put on an excellent club night within the confines of an LP (especially one that's barely longer than 30 minutes). Simian Mobile Disco also share with Daft Punk (and with younger acts like Spank Rock) the belief that the latest generation of gear doesn't necessarily equate to the best music. Attack Decay Sustain Release has the raw flavor of the best dance records of the '80s and '90s: red-line acid squelching, extroverted vocal features, synth-pop ballads that simply ooze drama, and productions that end in a far different place than where they began. Using vintage gear certainly doesn't always make for great music, but forced simplicity often helps spur the creative process -- and definitely has in this case. Miles away from the usual ranks of cold, programmed-to-perfection dance records, Simian Mobile Disco's debut is a dance record with energy to burn but also subtlety and flair.
自同年4月smd发行的那张《Suck My Deck》把我们从现实的不得了的现实在身边割舍去还没缓回神来,6月,他们以一种攻击听觉衰变的方式带着这a dance record with energy to burn but also subtlety and flair像一把纯粹想象出来的刀再度出现。此时你会觉得自己只剩灵魂。
说实话我已分不清到底那首是我最爱:
1.I Got This Down,这首歌比起专辑里的其他虽然略显平静,但富有律动的节奏以及他们特有的那种混音效果,男女说唱式的反复很深入我心,也许你已经累到腐烂,但你会依然不自觉的跟随电音简单的富有节奏的点头,请来杯PEEPPERMINT,这就够了。
2.Hustler,这张专辑里好像传听率这首最高,我要说的是她那不能理解的音乐视频,真的很不能理解。如果你也看了,你懂得,有时候那些你听觉上的盛宴在诠释视觉那,就成了残羹。为什么啊?我很期待有一种短片式的电音视频,比如街头音乐,很好的短剧,却音乐是个问题。。
3.love,就像歌里所唱爱,我们都需要。这样男声,混音我们都需要。
4.Wooden,这首最让我惊叹的是中间及最后那股窒息如乱麻般得电流。那种肆无忌惮的穿梭与毁坏,如自虐癖般,腐烂,释放,折磨,享受。也许你的生命习惯已经到了无可救药的奇异地步,也许你会发现这样下去你的肉体会承受不住而你的灵魂也将会永远的不能再将愿望加在这个具象的世界上,而随着音节的转逝,那种想象却又消失不见。你还存在。
5.Sleep Deprivation,已深入想象,无法自拔。
6.I Believe. U CAN BE.
7.It's the Beat,女声很好。强烈而性感。
8.Tits & Acid,关于acid,如acid jazz,acid house,acid techno等等,我觉得他们都带有一种极富力度的冲撞存在,都属于80年代中期出现的夹缝乐种,曲中混音效果的各种处理,打碟大师风范尽显此刻。
9.Hotdog.
10.Scott,对这首的感觉,很崩溃,这首我不能循环三次以上,也许有点夸张,这种沉闷以一种没有鼓点间奏的循环寻探思想的缝隙,成为一种威胁,但却没有勇气在这种具象的重重包围下做出任何举措,听这首歌我总是联想到四五年前看的发条橙。
attack decay sustain release 是一把纯粹想象出来的刀,我们沉迷于这种虚幻,但我们为何这般乐意在黑暗中调试着虚幻的感觉和现实的记忆?也许,这就是灵魂中的欲望吧。听歌愉快!
