LCD Soundsystem is the debut studio album by American rock band LCD Soundsystem, released in January 2005 by DFA Records. Some editions contained two discs: the LP itself with new songs and a second disc featuring singles released since 2002. The album was nominated for the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album.

Perhaps you weren't convinced of the Verve's staying power until recently. Before the release of Urban Hymns, skeptics wondered if they could ever match the explosive power of their earlier dedications. In 1995, most critics dismissed their offerings of the time as vapid, romantic excursions. To their credit, the Verve have sustained their shadow rock legitimacy while introducing string arrangements, piano fills, and slide guitar. Nowhere are these stirring traits more obvious than in the epic single "Bitter Sweet Symphony." Laying it on thick throughout the rest of the album with painfully engaging ballads, the Verve have crafted their most accomplished album to date, proving the longevity of their cultural resonance. --Lucas Hilbert
verve 乐队 1990 年组建于英国威根。从唱片中，你怎么也不会猜到 verve 是来自一个田园般的、纯朴的南方小镇。当然，如果没有不同于一般的背景，他们永远也不会投入这种强烈的音域中。面对目前颇为时髦的"虚无逃避主义"英国摇滚乐风气，他们时而松弛、时而压抑的风格超出了传统的歌曲结构，代之以空间摇滚之上的迷幻主义，外加爵士风格和氛围音乐脉络。
乐队的成员来自威根的温斯坦利大学，成员包括主唱 richard ashcroft、吉他手 nick mccabe、贝司手 simon jones 和鼓手 peter salisbury。他们早期的单曲，如《all in the mind》和《gravity grave》，初步确立了乐队猛烈的音乐招牌。 1989 年，他们与 virgin 公司所属的 hut 公司签约，在随后的几年中，乐队出版了一系列颇受好评的单曲，诸如《she's a superstar》和《blue》等，都进入了独立音乐的排行榜。
1993 年，他们出版了第 1 张专辑《a storm in the heaven》，真正显示了他们的实力。这张专辑是在与世隔绝的康沃尔郡录音室完成的，具有与 van morrison 的《astral weeks》或 talk talk 的《spirit of eden》相同的水准。当然，这完全是他们自己的风格。其中一些片断，如同在温暖的夏日里潮汐萦绕在你耳边；但另一些，如《silde away》和《the sun，the sea》，厚重的吉他音如同潮水一般。 verve 在英国也成了热门乐队，被传媒称为“下一件大事”。
1994 年，verve 出了一张集单曲和单曲 B 面歌曲的集锦《no come down》，并且开始了美国之行，虽然有来自美国爵士乐公司 verve 的商标纠纷，但他们还是开发了美国的新市场。他们也曾与 oasis 乐队一起在英国巡演，最后他们与 oasis 的制作人 owen morris 搭上了关系，morris 答应他们担任第 2 张专辑《a northern soul》的制作人。
1995 年《a northern soul》出版，英国传媒的好评铺天盖地，然而它还是被美国市场忽略了。尽管如此，该专辑在英国排行榜上的表现还不错，进入了前 20 名。《on your own》、《history》和《this is music》都是上乘之作。这次所有的曲目结构性更强，内容都取材于自己的亲身经历，特别是 mccabe 的吉他尤为特色。
不幸的是，虽然凭着乐队这样的高水平会使他们前途无量，但他们却在第 2 张专辑出版不久便宣布解散，主要原因是 ashcroft 和 mccabe 在创作和个人关系上出现了裂痕。 ashcroft 举行了几场个人原声音乐会，并于 1995 年底出现在 oasis 的演唱会上。 1996 年初，在没有 mccabe 的情况下，ashcroft、jones 和 salisbury 以另外一个名字重新，ashcroft 也计划出版自己的专辑。
1997 年春，verve 重组，并出版了新的专辑《urban hymns》。----摘自华业音乐网

来自英国莱切斯特的5人后摇组合。Kyte成员包括Ben, Jamie, Nick, Scott and Tom.Kyte是一个氛围/电子乐队，创造了美好，旋律优美的音乐。08年发行了首张同名专辑-《Kyte》。
听他们的歌，或许让人想起Sigur Ros，它使人想到的是那种音乐里流露出来平静和乐观，但从容摇动的声音和孤独的吉它声是如此克制，仿佛有一种危险的音乐气息消失在你身后的背景里。Kyte是一支擅长于塑造氛围，以重复不断的和弦，低调的音乐手法，淡淡地勾勒出某个场景，像旧式的老相机，一点点地呈现他们的音乐画面。

Don't Say We Didn't Warn You is the forthcoming second studio album by dance-punk band Does It Offend You, Yeah?. It is due to be released March 14, 2011. The rapper Trip has been confirmed to appear on the album and played a song with the band, live, at The Prodigy's "Warrior's Dance" Festival at the MK Bowl on 24 July. "We Are The Dead" was given away as a free download from the band's official website on 25 August 2010, along with links to the song's "remix parts." The song "All the Same" was featured in the 2010 videogame, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.

It's usually a sign of trouble when a member of a successful band decides to veer off from the safety of Rock's Lost Highway, to have a wander down the B-road of "and-this-is-me" solo action.
While Damon is no stranger to working outside the Blur unit - Gorillaz, Mali Music and several soundtracks show that already - this album is not quite what you'd expect from the frontman of a band at the top of its game.
Democrazy is not to be confused with anything as such as a solo debut album - if it was then I'm sure the public might at least know about it! Instead, it is released on Damon's own Honest Jons imprint, and, oh, to make it even more of an outside bet for giving Dido sleepless nights about chart placings, it is limited to 5000 10" double vinyl copies, and is only available from selected record emporia too.
In other words, it couldn't be more of an investment for a future eBay million if it was gold-plated and signed personally by its creator.
But what is it like? Well, it's completely opposite to the full-on joy of some of Albarn's best-est creations. The tunes and moments - and they are moments, with some lasting less than a minute - are the rough sketches that Damon was playing about with in his hotel room while Blur were doing the day job on their American tour earlier this year.
The exciting thing about Democrazy is that it dismantles Albarn's songwriting process. Some of these tunes, such as the splendid Half A Song and Five Star Life, could become future Blur or Gorillaz classics. It's warm to know this was how the likes of Beetlebum, Clint Eastwood and This Is A Low probably started out.
Damon drones, croons and murmurs hungover-ly, using the sort of minimal keyboards last considered futuristic back in 1981, along with, who knows, percussion from the minibar, and some tell-tale melodica. This is as no-fi as possible but if you enter into the spirit of it, and don't expect Pro Tools and other hi-tech space gubbins, then Democrazy can be rewarding.
So, Democrazy may not a solo album, but provided you can find a copy, it is a little extra something to put in every switched-on Blur fan's stocking this year.

一群荷尔蒙分泌过往的年轻人，一段张狂而跋扈的残酷青春。
谁爱谁？谁不爱谁？重要么？
谁是谁？谁不是谁？谁在乎？
年轻的天空总呈现魔幻般的彩色，当日复一日的乏味生活让我们无法忍受，就注定了叛逆的因子要从此刻爆发，且一发不可收拾。那澎湃卷涌的蘑菇云会遮天蔽日，冲破万物，直上云霄。
一生只得一次的半熟时光，难道不能用来挥霍？
莫非必须要用一份漂亮成绩单来换取一盎司的大麻？
那不是我们，我们想到就说，有屁就放，肆意狂妄，横冲直撞。
沉迷高浓度酒精和电音派对，企图挖掘深入的成人世界。
我们崇拜上帝，崇拜犹大，崇拜亚当，崇拜夏娃，崇拜舞者，崇拜吉他手，崇拜安全套，崇拜拳击手套，崇拜Doris Lessing，崇拜Paul Potts，崇拜肉体，崇拜烟草，崇拜青春痘，崇拜非处男，崇拜迷幻音乐，崇拜迷幻药，崇拜大麻，崇拜雪糕，崇拜Radiohead，崇拜金钱，崇拜酒精，崇拜宿醉，崇拜旧的球鞋，崇拜John Galliano，崇拜有logo的内裤，崇拜性爱，崇拜蓝天，崇拜Anne Sudwort，崇拜哥特式，崇拜嬉皮，崇拜神明，崇拜神经病，崇拜爱情，崇拜Alfie，崇拜Casanova，崇拜他的那话儿，崇拜板球手，崇拜对冲基金，崇拜魔术师，崇拜糟老头的遗产，崇拜女模特的胸部，崇拜海鸥，崇拜The Big Brother的赢家，崇拜地球另一端，崇拜闪光的他们，崇拜迷失的自己。
我们都生活在精致的皮囊中，用彼此依偎，亲肤取暖的方式来慰藉这迷乱而孤独的青春。
