Vespertine, released in August 2001, is an album by the Icelandic singer/songwriter/musician Björk. It sees Björk creating an introverted, quiet world of swirling microbeats and personal lyrics. On the cover she can be seen wearing the swan dress (designed by Marjan Pejoski) that caused a stir at the 2001 Academy Awards.
The album was originally released both on CD and on DVD-Audio in 2-channel (48khz/24bit) and 5.1-channel (96khz/24bit) advanced resolution. It peaked at number eight in the UK Albums Chart and at number 19 in the U.S. Billboard 200. It was also nominated for Best Alternative Album at the 2002 Grammy Awards. Recently music webzine Drowned In Sound named Vespertine the number-one album of the last six years not to garner press attention.[1] Stylus Magazine placed it 36th on their 'Top 50 Albums: 2000-2005 Vespertine was also selected as one of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
The album was re-released in 2006 as a DualDisc including a lower-quality DTS 96/24 version of the original advanced resolution 5.1 mix. The DualDisc also formed part of the box set.
On August 22, 2008 Björk wrote an open letter on her official website expressing her anger at the fact that Valgeir Sigurðsson has over the years been credited with writing the instrumentals for the album. She explained that he had been only an engineer and programmer (and that she herself had produced every track on the album), and argued that part of the reason was to do with sexism in the music industry.
Com Lag (2Plus2IsFive) 豆瓣
8.3 (21 个评分) Radiohead
发布日期 2004年1月1日 出版发行: EMI Int'l
2004年发行的《Com Lag》其实并非是Radiohead的新作,它是乐队之前发行的一些单曲加演唱会的集成版本,大部分曲目均来自《2+2=5》、《There There》、《Go to Sleep》三张EP,很多都属于专辑的“遗珠”式作品。《2+2=5》对于Radiohead迷来说肯定不会陌生,它也是乐队上一张专辑主打作品之一,不过《Com Lag》里收录的是现场版本,当夹杂着歌迷狂喊的“You have not been paying attention”传来说,肯定会让你有种身临其境的感觉。《Remyxomatosis》里把爵士鼓完全地电子化了,不过在Thom Yorke断续的演唱中,Bepop那种绝对的自由不见了,取而代之的是一种难言的压抑和如同困兽般的挣扎。《Skttrbrian》由Four Tet作了混音处理,在同样的电子爵士节拍的引导中洒上了风铃、收音机的换台声、小号、八音盒、神经质的吉它和凄美的歌声,在动与静之间、在唯美与病态之间演绎出一段异化的童话。而更趋向传统的《I Will》,我想则是任何一位歌迷都会喜欢的歌曲,舒缓的旋律,颓废的演唱,感性的声部粘贴,这就是英伦音乐最能打动人的地方。《Fog》也是选自现场版本,简简单单的钢琴伴奏,Thom Yorke深情款款的演唱,最适合在夜里聆听,既像是人与钢琴的对话,也像是现在和过去的对话,更像是经历超时空与一场爱情的对话,“Good Night,Everybody”。有钢琴伴奏自然也不能少了吉它伴奏,当然《Gagging Order》里可能少了你要听的Solo,不过没关系,听歌一样会让你着迷,也许你还会想,吉它手兴奋了怎么办,你再仔细听听,他会用他的拇指击打4、5、6弦告诉你,他有些激动了。《I Am a Wicked Child》一听它的节奏,就会让你感受到英国人的冷幽默技巧,跳舞的不要,颓废的拿来,跟着布鲁斯口琴你也将你的头温柔地摆动起来吧!
Kid A 豆瓣 Discogs
9.2 (245 个评分) Radiohead 类型: 电子
发布日期 2000年10月2日 出版发行: Capitol
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…… ...
