Lonely Shadow Would Dance,又一个伟大的曲名!
Reviewer: Scott's Music Reviews
[中文译文]
沼泽,一个中国四人器乐摇滚团,演奏梦幻般的后摇曲风。颇受西方启发而却有着独特变异的乐思,散落在此地或彼处。这是他们在中国以外的首张出品。这张CD收录了9首作品,刚好共60分钟,大部分是新曲,也附录了一些旧作。
开场曲,“废柴”,让我想起了日本的乐队Mono。海亮演奏古琴(古典弦乐器)、箫和朦胧的键盘,细辉弹吉他,阿来弹贝司,还有海逊演奏着鼓和钟片琴。
“人约黄昏后”,以一个蜂鸣般恍恍惚惚的弓奏般的声音(译注:指吉他的ebow长音),伴随着一段酷酷的贝司主奏线,拉开了序幕。在这首曲子里,乐器的演奏以及乐队的互动都真的很美。
“落木”,是一首徐缓的曲子,中国乐器作主奏。大概2分钟后,鼓开始抡响,能量水平提升了些许。而恰好在4分钟时,整张唱片中最厚重的吉他破门而入,随之就似走进了鹈鹕的领地。
“1911第三乐章”,听上去似乎是一首传统的古典乐章,但其实不然。我想,它有着似在梦中絮叨的合成器混合背景,而古琴担纲作为主角。
“The Youngster Fishing For The Stars(中文名:打捞星星的少年)”(伟大的曲名!),另一个芳醇柔美、轻盈飘逸而梦幻的篇章,直到后摇吉他主奏线条弹拨着闯进来......也不真的就是那种摇滚主音吉他,可这种东东已经被西方乐队们有点过度使用玩儿坏了。
“Lonely Shadow Would Dance(中文名:孑影舞)”(又一个伟大的曲名!),以笛子(箫?)作引子,随后吉他和古琴之间你来我往。美轮美奂的曲子。
“稚儿笑”,有着更多寥廓宽广的共鸣,和一些酷酷的效果声,又一条优美的旋律线,以及钟片琴、随后的箫(笛子?)的细致动人的运用。
“入梦令”里,一些真正酷的贝司走法扮演了重要的角色。
专辑同名曲(”沉醉不知处“)是压轴的和最长的一首,超过12分钟,这也是这张唱片最出色的曲子之一。
如果你是一位后摇乐迷,喜欢这种甜蜜梦幻的、类似电影原声主题曲般的音乐,且是以一种甚为飘逸典雅的方式完成的,请听听这个乐队。

ZHAOZE- Intoxicatingly Lost CD (Trail Records TR-017)
Zhaoze is a Chinese instrumental four piece rock band playing dreamy post rock style music. Very western inspired but with some unique twists here and there. This is their first release outside of China. The CD features 9 tracks in just over 60mins. Most are new but a few are bonus tracks from older releases. The opening song, the Worthless reminds me of the Japanese band Mono. Hoyliang plays Gugin (ancient string instrument), Xiao and dreamy keyboards, Littledream on guitar, Roy on bass and Seasean plays drums and glockenspiel. See you in the Dusk starts with a droney dreamy bowed sound and a cool lead bass line. Really nice playing and band interaction on this track. Falling Leaves is a slow track with one of the Chinese instruments taking the lead. Around 2mins the drums kick in and the energy level changes a bit and just before 4mins heaviest guitar on the whole CD kicks in and goes into Pelican like territory. 1911 3rd Movement sounds like a traditional classical music track but it is not. It has this dream drone synth mixed way in the background and the Gugin taking the lead, I think. The Youngstar fishing for the Stars (Great title!) is another mellow floating dreamy piece until that quickly strummed post rock lead guitar like line kicks in.. not real rock lead guitar but way to overused by western bands. Lonely Shadow would Dance (another great song title!) starts off with flute (Xiao??) and then a sort of trade off between the guitar and Gugin. Beautiful track. Sleepy Child Sweet Smile has a more spacey vibe to it and some cool effects and another beautiful melodic thread and nice use of the Glockenspiel and later Xiao (flute?). Into your Dream features some really cool bass playing. The title track is last and the longest one at over 12mins and one of the best songs on the CD. If you are fan of the post rock music genre and love these sort of sweet dreamy movie soundtrack theme type music but done in a very elegant way, please check this band out.
