Part-Monster, Piano Magic's seventh "proper" album, easily lives up to its title. Though Piano Magic is generally tarred with the brushes of "ambient," "coldwave," or even "ghost rock," Part-Monster has its fill of all-out, near-brutal dynamic intensity. Indeed, anyone who's witnessed PM live over the past two years will testify that the shadowy introspection of the group's records is camouflage for a beast of many teeth. Bringing in Guy Fixsen of Laika as producer clearly marked the band's intention for a more raw, powerful sound, as Fixsen has taken the production and/or engineer chair for such luminaries as The Pixies, Moonshake, The Breeders, Joy Zipper, Stereolab, Lush, and most notably, My Bloody Valentine's Loveless.
That's not to say that Piano Magic has entirely turned the amps up to eleven. Part-Monster gracefully balances cathartic noise with romantic paeans to the band's favorite subject--the cruel, tragic side of London and the city's most graceful outcast, Joseph Carey Merrick (The Elephant Man). In its tenth year of existence, Piano Magic can look back on a varied and accomplished discography most bands wouldn't manage in a lifetime of trying. Records for 4AD, Darla, Morr Music, Important, and many more mark the band's way, in addition to the soundtrack to Bigas Luna's Son De Mar (2001) and performances at some of the biggest festivals in Europe (Benicassim, Primavera, BAM).

在听了Piano Magic这个乐队4/5个专辑后发现
2010-08-07 23:30:20 每个专辑似乎在变幻风格,可是这种风格又是典型的对不同类型/乐队的模仿,例如明显的他模仿了red house painter等等。 所以我猜想,他们不属于这样一种乐队:有一类乐队,他们有个焦灼的点,他们需要不停的倾述,用他们自己的只允许/擅长的方式,这当然会...

不小心遗漏的4AD珍宝
原来还以为早把4AD的乐队一网打尽了,前不久偶然买到了这张Part Monster,才发觉竟然错过了如此出色的Piano Magic。后来找到乐队先前的专辑,果然张张出色。个人对他们的喜爱程度,超过Throwing Muses, His Name is Alive, This Mortal Coil和Lush。

算是转型之作,后摇编曲里流露出强烈的新浪潮风格,节奏较之前快很多,又极为不安。虽然流行味(时下后摇也算是流行乐了)重了不少,整体水平还是可以的。
