寫下連續五張冠軍專輯榮耀、全球超越2000萬張專輯銷售量,獲得兩座葛萊美、兩座全英音樂大獎肯定的英國搖滾天團Muse,超過20年的音樂歷程,主唱兼吉他手Matthew Bellamy、貝斯手Chris Wolstenholme與鼓手Dominic Howard自始至終維持樂團三人形態的如一結構,但是音樂架構卻不斷進化再升級,突顯大膽的實驗派精神,迴盪古典和搖滾交錯美感,凝聚最強的戲劇張力和黑色浪漫樂章!自1999年開啟新世紀搖滾歌劇序幕的首張大碟“Showbiz",接續發行充滿寓言式幻境的“Origin Of Symmetry"、渲染陰鬱憂傷的“Absolution"、超越末世紀魔鬼詩篇的“Black Holes And Revelations"、最具野心開創新天地的“The Resistance"、大膽突破且實驗增量的“The 2nd Law"、充滿戲劇張力概念鉅作“Drones",讓全球樂迷一再窺探Muse無極限的野心!
耗時超過1年半錄製的新碟“Simulation Theory",在整體概念主軸上圍繞於虛擬和現實之間的那條界線,Matthew同時言道:「各類的「模擬」已成為我們日常生活一部份。」所有的幻想都可能實現,也反映現在人類社會的處境上。音樂型態上則端呈出一張電子搖滾Synth-Rock風格作品,從50年代流行領域吸收精華,又能利用80年代興起的電子合成器的多變效果,營造豐富奇幻音場!製作群名單一字排開:葛萊美+全英音樂獎肯定且第4度合作的Rich Costey (Birdy、Death Cab For Cutie、Franz Ferdinand)+各領域通殺鬼才Mike Elizondo (Maroon 5、Eminem、Alanis Morissette)+4座葛萊美認證及天后最愛的Shellbac (Adele、Taylor Swift、Britney Spears)+4座葛萊美加持的排行製造機Timbaland (Madonna、Rihanna、Drake),不難發現Muse這次挑戰生涯新境界的企圖心,高明融合的膽識!封面由主掌Netflix高收視率影集【Stranger Things怪奇物語】插畫家Kyle Lambert親自操刀,影像視覺大玩Cyberpunk科幻元素!
Matthew探索內心黑暗面的「The Dark Side」,祈求脫困釋放,形容長久以來恐懼、焦慮、偏執等障礙,不間斷且無情地像個捕食者殘害自身,深沉的音頻夾在Synthpop軌跡中,極欲逃脫壓迫許久的框架;就在樂迷希望Muse回到早期調性時,充滿壓力且予以回應之作「Pressure」浮出檯面,Matthew表態明顯的絕不妥協,強烈的搖滾氣流熊熊燃燒,嗆出過癮Power Pop風格;受到Folk-Rock影響的「Something Human」,消弭黑色情節反透出鮮亮律動,於巡演途中產生工作焦躁和思鄉情懷而寫出之歌,率先攀上法國流行榜第17名;登上英國搖滾/金屬榜冠軍+美國搖滾榜季軍的「Thought Contagion」,訴說人們陷在資訊爆炸的時代,常被錯誤訊息誤導甚至影響判斷力,合成器聲響衝擊中,反覆交織磅礴合聲,異常動容;歷經英國脫歐公投、川普執政有感而發交出的「Dig Down」,提供人們找尋希望與愛的出路,重拾信念和改變世界現狀,Synthpop及Glam Rom碰撞出奇特火花,迷幻又帶著催眠般效果,越到尾聲情緒越是激昂攀升,灌入福音唱合,散發無比力量之聲,直奔美國另類榜季軍位置!此豪華盤加贈5首新歌獨特版本,也是Muse揣摩不同意境以及表達多樣情感的宣洩!

Torres 豆瓣
Torres 类型: 民谣
发布日期 2013年1月22日 出版发行: Unsigned
The first release from Torres, a promising young talent out of Nashville. Velvet-toned vocal and the amped-up guitar fuzz.
Sprinter 豆瓣
Torres 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2015年5月8日 出版发行: Labels P Partisan Record
TORRES knows the darkness. The Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter otherwise known as Mackenzie Scott waits until anything—an idea, an emotion, a memory—gnaws at her, tearing at her fingers and throat until she releases it in song.
Scott escaped the confines of her churning mind in order to find herself by recording Sprinter in the market town of Bridport in Dorset, England; and then at the Bristol studio of Portishead's Adrian Utley. With his guitar riffs and synthesizers lingering in the background like a lowland mist and PJ Harvey's Robert Ellis and Ian Olliver on rhythm—the two fortuitously reuniting 23 years after the release of Dry, and in Scott's 23rd year of living—she crafted a "space cowboy" record. "That's as simply as I can say it," says Scott, who cites inspirations as diverse as Funkadelic and Nirvana, Ray Bradbury and Joan Didion.
"I wanted something that very clearly stemmed from my Southern conservative roots but that sounded futuristic and space-y at the same time." It seems like an odd thing to look for in the picturesque seaside green, rolling hills in the south of England, but Scott had never been there before, and as a stranger in a strange land she found what she was looking for: a lost childhood. Sprinter was recorded in a room that had formerly been used as a children's nursery, which combined with the alien landscape fuels the self-searching that roils TORRES' music.
Following her self-titled debut in 2013, TORRES pushes herself to even noisier extremes on Sprinter, a punishing self-examination of epic spiritual and musical proportions.
2016年11月28日 听过 在Tabernacle看了Torres给Tegan and Sara的暖场, 主唱气场十足, 有点PJ Harvey的范儿.

威尔士著名乐队Manic Street Preachers将发表的一张全新专辑,并且将用到乐队失踪成员Richey Edwards早年间的词作。
这张专辑里最让人期待的,是其中所有的词作都来自于从1995年便已失踪的乐队前主脑Richey Edwards。乐队贝司手说到:“我们将这些词作保存了14年之久,现在我们觉得是将它发表的时候了。这张专辑在一定程度了沿袭了我们1994年的专辑《The Holy Bible》。我们针对词作进行了一些编辑,因为这些象散文一样的段落不免有些杂乱。我们重新组织了语言,并保证依然会是Richey Edwards的原文原句。”

9.6 (10 个评分) Rowland S. Howard, 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2009年10月16日
Rowland S Howard is a legend of Australian rock, a musician whose distinctive style and sound has resonated across the underground-rock landscapes for three decades. His bands have included the Boys Next Door, the Birthday Party, These Immortal Souls, Crime And The City Solution, Honeymoon In Red and his collaborations have involved such dissidents as Lydia Lunch, Thurston Moore, Nick Cave and the late Nikki Sudden.
So it's finally happened I went into the recording studio to record the first song of the new album, a duet with Jonnine from HTRK called "I Know A Girl Called Johnny". I's been so long since I was in the studio to do anything of my own that I was quite disturbed, also everything that could go wrong did. BUT...it turned out really well, Jonnine was just fantastic, I was still writing the music as I taught it to her. So there we are it will happen. I've just got a bit more writing to do and then we are back in. So wish me luck, this record will be great with all the girls and cats and poison you have grown to know and love.
