如果说当年的Dummy专集是让你在黄昏时分於幽暗斗室内享受著浪漫化的靡烂气氛的话，那么Portishead这张同名大碟就是让你置身晦黯无光的古老大屋内，感受著阵阵的诡譎寒凛与人世间的悲愴。
2097 年，在英国Bristol市的市郊位置，一间已有百多年历史的破旧大屋内被发现居住了三隻幽灵。据知，女的沉默不语但只爱唱歌，而两位男的，一个爱把弄已绝迹多时的唱盘，一个爱弹奏忧怨的蓝调爵士结他。每逢月色皎洁、寒风颯颯的晚上，这间大屋内总会传来幽悒凄厉而又哀怨魅惑的音乐，飘入城内。传说中，他们是百多年前Bristol 音乐界的巨星、Trip Hop音乐潮流的导航者，三人以Portishead为代号。
在一百年之前，即1997年，他们发表了一张充满黑白恐怖电影的苍白诡譎气氛之唱片。
假如你兴致勃勃的购买了Portishead的第二张同名大碟回家，一心以为可以像Dummy那样让你在其灯光柔和的舒适斗室内享受著阵阵靡烂颓气之际，唱片转出来的声响却猛然把你扯进一间阴风阵阵、晦黯无光、诡譎寒凛的古老大屋内，然后传来悽怨歌声--就像恐怖幽灵电影的情节那样。
在新大碟里，同样是泛著浓浓的电影感，带来已不再是昔日的间谍电影意味，而是恍如黑白恐怖片的惨白幽悒气氛。Beth的歌声时而狰狞、时而哀怨伤痛如孤魂的哭诉，连Geoff的Scratching效果也宛如咒语，加上像丧礼音乐节奏的Breakbeat或沉重的鼓击，还有鬼魅的 意境与破旧感的Old School Tech录音效果，都来得那么匪夷所思。像最先作限量十二吋发 行的一曲Cowboys，在那爵士化Hip Hop鼓击底下，电结他与Off-key键琴交织出的扑朔迷离意境、狰狞的主唱、阴森的低音，已事先示范出今次Portishead可叫人不寒而慄的梦魘式恐怖感。甚至是穿插著John Barry James Bond电影式管弦乐的细碟作All Mine，即使是碟内较易接受的一曲，但听著Beth苍白如幽灵的歌声与中段Adrian来得血淋淋的结他独奏，还有那个一派黑白Cult Film手法的音乐短片，都难掩这份教人听得心慌慌之感。

Mezzanine is the third studio album by English electronic music duo Massive Attack, released on 20 April 1998 by Circa and Virgin Records.

Britol Trip Hop三巨頭之Portishead大成功專輯，連Levi's都徵用廣告歌。

乐队在2000 年推出了一张最受期待的大碟《Kid A》。自从 Radiohead 的《OK Computer》被誉为“宇宙最佳大碟”之后，Radiohead已经成为The Beatles最具威胁乐队，这新碟真是全球瞩目。
不过《 Kid A 》大概会令不少 Radiohead 迷感到意外，因为全碟跟Radiohead以往的风格非常不同！ 以往的强劲电吉他弹奏已荡然无全，就连打几下重鼓都没有，换来大量飘渺迷离气氛。Atmospheric 、Ambience 、Nightmarish、Moody、Sparse…… ...

1998+2001两届葛莱美[最佳另类摇滚]唯一得主中时如乐周报+MCB TAIWAN+Q+wIRE无数音乐专刊一致推荐20年必备专辑[KID A I号复制人]之跨世纪概念续篇。
2000年10月2日电台司令终于发行了第四张专辑[一号复制人Kid A]全球另类乐迷相隔三年才又有机会见闻电台司令的自溺音乐。不过，当时的他们竟是以一系列十到四十秒的新歌音乐录影带在网路和电视广告中播放，并强调不会有任何单曲或完整音乐录影带；头顶葛莱美[最佳另类摇滚]光环的电台司令只想在网路上与乐迷沟通，却不想接受任何媒体的过度包装，电台司令以其近乎[艺术品]的后摇滚实验乐风起码接证明他们身为[九零年代另类摇滚代言人]的创作实力。美国发行当周便登上Billboard专辑榜冠军宝座，[一号复制人Kid A]更是中外各大音乐专刊一中时如乐周报、MCB、Taiwan、Q、Wire、Spin、Bounce……一致推荐2000年必备的经典专辑！
其实，在制作[一号复制人Kid A]的同时，电台司令便已谱写了23首作品，其中已有10首收录在[一号复制人Kid A]中；时隔半年有余，他们又从其中择选11首作品，发表了第五张专辑[失忆Amnesiac]。虽是同时期的创作，[失忆Amnesiac]却与[一号复制人Kid A]融入大量电气声响、鼓击的摇滚浪格调不同，例如近来已投身电子合成器乐冷酷异境的Jonny Greenwood在Knrves Out一曲中再次以The Smith英伦传统浪漫吉他拨动沉寂已久的动人心弦；专辑首支单曲Pyramid Song则是以幽悒沉郁钢琴伴奏作为旋律主轴。
主唱Thom Yorke在2001年初接受专访时曾如此说道：“如果[一号复制人Kid A]太艰深，上帝就会伸出他的援手。”于是，上帝给了我们[失忆Amnesiac]。

倫敦名校BRIT School又一傑出校友，年僅22歲酷絕創作女聲，首張一鳴驚人同名專輯。
資深製作人Simon Fisher Turner與Gareth Jones（Depeche Mode、Erasure、Einstuerzende Neubauten、Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds）聯手打造，驕傲獻上古怪多變個性派女聲初體驗。
直率大膽、晦澀陰暗的歌詞，雖讓人膽顫心驚，卻又不偏不倚地引起共鳴。
英國BBC Radio 1 DJ Rob Da Bank：「她是21世紀的Kate Bush！」
Time Out：「近幾年來最刺激有趣的處女大碟！」
英國倫敦藝術學校BRIT School（全名The London School for Performing Arts & Technology）栽培了無數的藝術人才，樂壇上許多發光發熱的明星，像是Amy Winehouse、Leona Lewis、Adele、Kate Nash、The Kooks主唱Luke Pritchard、Imogen Heap與Katie Melua等知名歌手，皆是以該校為榮的畢業生。而目前年僅22歲的個性派創作歌手「波莉Polly Scattergood」也是出自BRIT School的傑出校友，曾為Laura Marling暖場演出的她，被樂評人視為近期不可多得的實力派歌手。The Telegraph形容她是「Lo-Fi版Kate Bush與PJ Harvey在21世紀的綜合體」，並對她過人的才華、熱情與飄逸多變的音樂風格讚不絕口；Time Out更直接點名這張專輯是「近幾年來最新鮮刺激的處女大碟」。
身為家中長女的Polly Scattergood有兩個弟弟，他們在科爾徹斯特Colchester附近的小鎮長大，12歲時她接觸了創作才女Suzanne Vega的音樂作品，因而開啟她對創作的興趣。16歲時她搬到倫敦，展開半工半讀的生活，據稱在BRIT School求學期間，她已完成800多首歌曲，畢業後她更透過Neil Ferris引薦，成為知名音樂廠牌Mute Records的旗下一員。
創作質量驚人的她，很快便獲得樂壇的注意，媒體更相繼為她冠上「實力派創作人」、「天才歌手」等稱號，然而她卻謙稱自己不過是一個「唱著個人創作的說書人」。在兩位資深製作人Simon Fisher Turner與Gareth Jones的協助下，Polly Scattergood交出本張十分亮眼的處女作《Polly Scattergood》，本張同名專輯中的10首歌曲，分別呈現出截然不同的個性與趣味。
專輯由〈I Hate The way〉陰沉的低吟開場，漸強的鼓擊與歌聲相互衝擊，最後甚至補上一段相當前衛迷幻的口白；〈Other Too Endless〉有著輕快的旋律與神似Jewel的唱腔；〈Please Don't Touch〉是一首古靈精怪的可愛作品；〈Unforgiving Arms〉獨特的唸唱與飄逸的曲風相得益彰；〈Nitrogen Pink〉竟然讓人同時想起Tori Amos與Bjork；而碟末由鋼琴伴奏的〈Breathe In Breathe Out〉，則讓她顯得異常頹靡超齡。
若要說Polly Scattergood是一名歌手，不如說她是一名以多變音樂包裝個人文字的作家，那些直率大膽、晦澀陰暗的歌詞，雖然讓人不時感到膽顫心驚，卻又能不偏不倚地讓人引起共鳴，原來神經質的女生，也能擁有如此迷人可愛的魅力。

The King of Limbs is the eighth studio album by English alternative rock band Radiohead, produced by Nigel Godrich. It will be released on 19 February 2011 as a download in MP3 and WAV formats, followed by a physical CD release in the UK on 28 March [1] and a special "newspaper" edition on 9 May 2011.[2] The "newspaper" edition will contain "two clear 10-inch vinyl records in a purpose-built record sleeve, many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork, a compact disc, and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradable plastic to hold it all together".[3]
The album was announced on Radiohead's website on 14 February 2011, five days before release.[4] The name of the album possibly refers to an oak tree in Wiltshire's Savernake Forest, thought to be 1,000 years old.[4] The tree is a pollarded oak, referring to an ancient technique for harvesting timber for fencing and firewood. Though it does not feature on maps, the tree is said to be 3 miles (4.8 km) from Tottenham Court House, where Radiohead recorded part of their previous album In Rainbows.[5]

It's album time for Norwegian DJ/disco producer Todd Terje. He'll release his new long-player, titled, yes, It's Album Time, on April 8 via his own Olsen Records. It features some amazing artwork from illustrator Bendik Kaltenborn, and it's got a guest spot from Bryan Ferry, covering Robert Palmer's "Johnny and Mary". (Terje previously remixed Ferry's "Don't Stop the Dance" and "Alphaville".)
