时隔数月，环球又再推出《voices》系列的第三辑，同样是环球旗下当红歌手和艺人，精选悦耳动听的世界名曲，以NEW AGE和WORLD MUSIC的风格特点打动听众。

这里没有摇滚的喧哗，没有爵士的难懂，没有流行的浅俗，没有古典的深奥......16首好歌是那样亲近而又舒服，听来仿佛可以抛开俗世烦嚣，回复属于自我的舒适恬静。

这种类型的音乐在现今世界范围内越来越流行，在旋律性、融合性、时代感方面都极具动人的“杀伤力”，不约而同受到地球人的钟爱和认同......

于2000年6月13日推出的这张万人瞩目的专辑由Eric Clapton与B.B. King两位重量级人物合作，专辑的名字也起得颇具王者风范：《Riding With The King》。
Clapton为《逃跑的新娘》所写歌曲“Blue Eyes Blue”反响不错，虽然年纪越来越大，他却总是能为乐坛带来清新之风。而B.B.King在布鲁斯音乐方面的权威性正像他的吉他演奏技巧一样不容质疑。两个人的年纪加起来都超过一百岁了，做布鲁斯却是正合适。
专辑中的曲目也是一目了然：“Three O'Clock Blues”，“Worried Life Blues”,'When My Heart Beats Like a Hammer'...无处不展示出这是一场布鲁斯音乐的盛宴，或许更能为比较年长的歌迷带来美妙回忆

Born in the U.S.A. is the seventh studio album by American rock singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen. It was released on June 4, 1984, by Columbia Records. It was written by Springsteen and recorded with his E Street Band and producers Chuck Plotkin and Jon Landau at The Power Station and The Hit Factory in New York City.
When Born in the U.S.A. was first released, it was met with positive reviews and massive commercial success. It produced seven top-10 hit singles and was promoted with a worldwide concert tour by Springsteen. Born in the U.S.A. became his most commercially successful album and one of the highest-selling records ever, having sold 30 million copies by 2012. It has also been cited by critics as one of the greatest albums of all time.

Cocteau Twins是支来自苏格兰的三人乐团。迷朦的音乐气氛下优美夹着伤感，又流露出强烈的死亡浪漫。天才吉它混音大师Robin营造出阴冷颓唐的旋律，再加上女主唱独一无二的声线使他们成为另类音乐界最美的声音。
早期的Cocteau Twins成员是由吉他手Robin Guthrie，女主唱Elizabeth Frazer及贝司手Will组成。82年在4AD旗下发表了首张专辑Garlans(花环），显然那时乐队的风格和大家印象中的仙乐迥然不同。Rob迷幻缥缈的吉他Will沉实的贝司在机械鼓机的衬托下充满着狂野的后朋气息。专辑推出后受到了地下音乐界教父之称的John Peel的赏识，同时在英国独立音乐界引起了不小的轰旋律动，被称为是难得个性化的作品。
真正奠定Cocteau Twins日后风格的是1983年的专辑Head Over Heels(从头到脚），这时的Will已经离队，乐队找来了新的贝司手Simon Raymonde。专辑中那迷离缥缈，迷乱沉重的伤感氛围和低调复古的音乐路线形成了Cocteau Twins日后真正的取向。Head over Heels成功的打入了英国独立大碟榜的首位。同年EP作品Sunburst And Snowblind也成为细碟榜的冠军作品。无论演奏技术和录音技巧上乐队越来越趋于成熟。
提起Cocteau Twins不能不提到着名的<Treasure>（珍宝）这张84年发行的惊世骇俗之作。中世纪的音乐强烈的巴洛克风味，多声部旋律，音乐鲜明的对比，优美又不缺乏震撼力。但ROB表示自己不喜欢这张专辑，可能缘于Treasure商业方面取得的成功，被多家杂志评为年度最佳，LIZ即被评选为最佳女歌手。Treasure被乐评界称之为“The Voice Of God"(天神之声）。封面图片也透露着清冷怪异的气息，与整张专辑的风格相得益彰。不可否认Treasure做的是如此完美，超脱，是我的至爱。

More hard-boiled tales from Tom Waits, who manages to sing lines like "Everyone I know is either dead or in prison" in a raw, whiskey-soaked rasp that sounds both comical and deadly serious. Waits doesn't break any new creative ground here, but continues to refine his down-and-out ham-and-egger persona. It's booze and broads, sex and violence, laughs and heartbreak. This 1978 album opens with an astonishingly desperate version of "Somewhere" (from "West Side Story"), performed like Louie Armstrong with a migraine. From there it's the usual Waits mix of crackpot wordplay and the cocktail lounge jazz likes of "Romeo Is Bleeding." --Steve Appleford

第46届葛莱美奖《最佳新世纪音乐专辑》提名
与布拉格交响乐团、电影配乐大师范吉利斯等人的完美演出
拥有超过15张金唱片、4张白金唱片的超实力心灵音乐大师，是谁有如此魅力，能请到「电影配乐大师」范吉利斯，演奏他的作品,是谁能让东欧首屈一指的「布拉格交响乐团」参予他的专辑制作？迈克尔·霍普 Michael Hoppe，这位拥有超过15张金唱片、4张白金唱片的心灵音乐大师，不仅是范吉利斯成为国际级大师的知遇伯乐，亦结交许多世界知名的交响乐团指挥。在他的号召下，组成史上最佳的黄金阵容，除了让本辑获得亚马逊网站爱乐人满分力荐，更得到第46届葛莱美奖《最佳新世纪音乐专辑》提名的肯定。
集创作、编曲、键盘演奏全方位于一身的迈克尔·霍普 Michael Hoppe，在本辑中运用其扎实的古典根基，谱写出12首具史诗格局的大气魄巨作。《This Majestic Land》刻画着美国西部风光的雄伟壮阔，在布拉格交响乐团的弦乐齐奏下，能感受面对大自然鬼斧神工时的那份感动。《So You》在大提琴的声线与钢琴的相互缠绵下，流露着「莎翁情史」般的宫廷迷情。范吉利斯演奏长达8分钟的《The Parting》则有云端飘浮的梦幻质感。每首乐曲皆有丰沛的情感表述，是新世纪交响诗篇中罕见的极品佳作。

《Past Masters》是发行于1988年的一套较全面的Beatles单曲合辑，所收录的歌曲主要是Beatles的A、B面主打单曲，其中有不同于专辑版本中的单曲。Vol. 1收录了62—65年时期的歌曲，Vol. 2收录65—70年的。合辑还包括之前仅在英国发行的EP《Long Tall Sally》（1964），两支德语歌（Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand & Sie Liebt Dich），一支仅在美国发行的Bad Boy和曾收录在一张慈善专辑中的Across the Universe（Wildlife version）。

Norah Jones出生于音乐世家，父亲是著名的印度席塔琴演奏家Ravi Shankar。在达拉斯的Booker T. Washington高中，学习钢琴和表演的时候，她沉醉到了爵士乐中，结束了在北德克萨斯的两年大学生活以后，Norah Jones来到了纽约，纽约的音乐氛围令Norah Jones激动不已。在这里Norah Jones开始热衷于一些出色的词曲作者的作品，也是在这里，她逐渐形成了目前爵士钢琴，创作型的风格，并开始尝试多种音乐风格的融合。后来Norah Jones和词曲作者Jesse Harris，以及贝斯手Lee Alexander组成了一支小乐队，Norah Jones在乐队中担任主唱并兼奏钢琴。2000年10月Blue Note Records为他们录制了一张试音专辑《First Sessions》，Norah在专辑中尽情展示了自己的才华，在创作中她在源于爵士乐的曲调中加入了自己的激情，并用自己圆润，柔美的嗓音打动了唱片公司，于是仅过了三个月Norah Jones正式签约Blue Note Records，并于2002年2月26日发布了第一张专辑《Come Away With Me》。
Norah Jones获得了2003年葛莱美最佳新人奖，《COME AWAY WITH ME》获得了年度专辑奖，最佳流行乐演唱专辑，《Don't Know Why》获得了年度最佳唱片奖，和最佳年度单曲奖，Norah Jones因《Don't Know Why》获得了最佳流行女歌手奖。
1979年3月30日出生于美国纽约，拥有超龄的才华与甜美温柔的歌声。20岁不到便赢得著名爵士杂志《Down Beat》学生爵士奖的“最佳演唱”及“最佳编曲”奖。她的出现让久未有惊喜的爵士乐坛，灌注了一丝青春活力。
一直以来，诺拉琼丝都被归类为爵士歌手，而在流行音乐挂帅的西洋歌坛，爵士是小众音乐，但诺拉琼丝改变了这一点，她的「远走高飞」专辑全球创下六百万张的销售量，在台湾也有接近白金唱片（三万张）的销售数字，葛莱美奖入围公布后，她的专辑更打败众多流行音乐，登上告示牌专辑榜的冠军。
23岁的诺拉琼丝去年发行首张专辑《远走高飞》为她赢得年度最佳唱片、最佳专辑、最佳新人、最佳流行女歌手、最佳流行专辑等五项个人大奖。此专辑还获颁年度最佳歌曲、非古典类最佳录音工程专辑以及非古典类年度制作人三个奖项。在流行乐大量充斥东西方乐坛的情况之下，其他类型的音乐似乎成为乐坛中的弱势族群，但这不代表这些音乐将因此而殆尽，仍有许多出色的音乐人默默作出好音乐，诺拉琼丝就是一位将梦想付诸实现的歌手。从小接受音乐的薰陶、15岁即主修表演、还曾连续两年获得Down Beat学生音乐奖"最佳爵士歌手的Norah Jones，拥有一副彷佛来自天上的好声音。这位来自美国的年轻女孩，少了一份大都会的娇纵世故，却多了几许清新古典气质，再加上她出色的琴艺、独特的嗓音、以及创作才华，俨然成为本世纪初最闪耀的一颗新星。
仔细看专辑曲目，就不要问我这是啥了哦。

Marvin Gaye 把 1971 年专辑《What’s Going On》的标题曲拿给摩城音乐创始人 Berry Gordy 时，据传后者曾表示，那是他听过的最糟糕的东西。音乐太松散，歌词则太政治化。但就连 Elvis Presley 都唱起了抗议歌曲（1969 年的《In the Ghetto》），Marvin Gaye 为什么不可以？<br /><br />
这张专辑的奥妙就在于那份轻盈。歌曲自在呼吸，演绎自然松弛，甚至有些漫不经心，例如标题曲中负责演奏萨克斯的 Eli Fontaine 录音时甚至以为自己不过是在热身。Sly & The Family Stone 在苦涩的放克里倾泻怒火的同时（1971 年的《There’s a Riot Goin’ On》），Gaye 则用华丽的弦乐和拉丁鼓点表达着他的不满，柔和而且显得老练。哪怕是触及毒品（《Flyin’ High [In the Friendly Sky]》）和贫困问题（《Inner City Blues [Make Me Wanna Holler]》）等严肃主题时，他也轻盈得如同御风而行。这张专辑让我们明白，政治音乐不一定要剑拔弩张，也可以温暖怡人。
