[中文译文 Chinese]
沼泽，一个中国的四人团，其音乐美轮美奂，富于空气感，以融合了中国乐器（古琴、箫）的器乐后摇曲风为主干，创造出一种非常幽静且和具有电影画面感的声音图景。于他们名下已有数张专辑发行，但这张CD是其首次在西方的出品。且某种意义上，这是一张集结了最新专辑的部分曲目及一些过往作品的精选集。
除去甚具异域情调的中国乐器，他们也使用到键盘、吉他、贝司、鼓和钟片琴。其中一首作品（《入梦令》，也是我最爱的曲目之一）也有寥寥几句人声。
我确实钟爱乐队呈现的这种梦幻而醇和的共鸣，当你闭上你的眼睛，你会看到一幕幕中国山水与古老建筑的美妙神奇的画面。
这些曲子，有时也会以他们自己的方式变得更猛烈一点点，但不会真的象黑帝或哪怕天爆那样的重型和密集，而是一直保留着一种惬意与悠游的基调，并精确到刚刚好。
令这支感性和深情的乐队真正独特与有趣的缘由，自是其源自中国古典乐韵的影响及其器乐的编配风格。他们有着出色的想法，演奏熟练流畅，且声音似水晶般清澈透亮，那你有何理由不试试？
[英文原文 English]
Zhaoze is a quartet from China combining beautiful, atmospheric and mostly instrumental post rock with traditional Chinese instrumentation (gugin, xiao) creating very tranquil, cinematic soundscapes. They have several released under their belt but this CD and digital release is their first Western release and it is a sort of compilation of the best tracks from their latest album with some other tracks. Apart from the very exotic sounding Chinese instrumentation they also use keyboards, guitar, bass, drums & glockenspiel. One of the tracks ("Into Your Dream", one of my favourites) also has s little bit of vocals. I really like the dreamy, mellow vibes the band offers, and when you close your eyes you get wonderful images of Chinese nature and ancient architecture. Although the tracks sometimes grow a bit on their way Zhaoze don't really ever get that rocking of heavy or intense like GSY!BE or even Explosions in the Sky, they always stay in the pleasant, laid-back territory which is just fine. The classic Chinese music influences and instrumentation is what makes this emotional and soulful band really special and interesting. They have great ideas and the playing is fluent and the sound crystal clear, so why don't your check them out?
