Amsterdamned
发布日期 2022年9月4日 出版发行: 自主制作
大阪を拠点に活動するオルタナバンド、Amsterdamnedの1stフルアルバム!!
こんなにもメロディアスなのにアムス節が効きすぎている、進化という言葉の真の意味を体現した素晴らしいアルバム。妖艶な歌と鋭いサウンドが優しく広がっていく、洗練に洗練を重ねた音楽に浸れます。
1曲目「melodia」静かに歌から入り、耳をじっと傾ける心を作り上げられてからの「巡る!血潮!」でドッと来ます。その"ドッ"が、めちゃくちゃパワフルなまんまに優しくて丁寧なのが最高。強引さが全くない自然な音の波、サビでキーボードと一緒にフワフワ宙に舞っていける名曲。
4曲目「DisUtopia」音と音が切なく丁寧に絡まり合うポップス。レゲエ調に入るキーボードとめちゃくちゃに広がっていくドラムのリバーブ、繰り返される言葉が聴いているという状態の後に頭の中に入ってきて一緒に共鳴しながらリフレインし始めます。中盤とラストでそれぞれ突然来るバグのような爆音、これが"Dis"の部分でしょうか。心がざわざわします。気持ちいいだけじゃないでしょ?というメッセージを勝手に感じました。
9曲目「Carnival」アムスといえば!とアムス好き10人に聞くと6人ぐらいが「Carnival!」と言うと勝手に思ってます。僕はそうです。学校の教科書とかにも載せる曲です。だいぶ前の音源にも入ってたのですが、クオリティが凄すぎになっての再録。音ひとつひとつ、そしてバンドとして、表現力があまりに高すぎる上にその高い表現力が丸まんま音源にも反映された、意外となかなかない完璧なサウンドバランス。長いベースソロからの爆裂トリップ音洪水、まだ終わらないで!と思いながら最後まで聴き続けてしまう超名曲。
2023年2月14日 听过 DisUtopia 有 dub 味,不错!This is the first album by the Japanese alternative/shoegaze band Amsterdamned. the album is included not only shoegazing but also dub, trip-hop, stoner rock, like Fishmans and Supercar are jamming session.

Kicking Television: Live in Chicago 豆瓣
Wilco 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2005年11月15日 出版发行: Nonesuch
Kicking Television-Live in Chicago, recorded over four nights in May at The Vic Theatre. "It's really the best it's ever felt," said Jeff Tweedy to the Detroit Free Press earlier this year. "I would say at this point, I don't think I've ever been in a band that's felt this connected and unified with this collective vision." To document that collective vision that band called upon veteran mixing engineer Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews, Johnny Cash) to capture the energy, excitement, clarity and musicality that has earned Wilco continued praise for their live shows around the world.

Loveless 豆瓣 Discogs
9.0 (196 个评分) My Bloody Valentine 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 1991年11月4日 出版发行: Sire / Warner Bros Records
在80年代末至90年代,英国出现了纯粹以吉他噪音实验为目标的乐队与风格,并且获得了相当大的成功,在英国独立摇滚中可谓独树一帜。敏感的乐评人称这一类音乐风格为“自赏摇滚”(Shoe-gazing)。“自赏摇滚”这一名称很是贴切,既包涵了乐队的音乐风格,又暗示了乐队特立独行的生活态度。 My Bloody Valentine就是这类摇滚的代表人物,Loveless是该乐队的第三张专辑,被公认为是该乐队最成功的代表作,在世界范围内都有巨大影响,这张专辑和乐队名称甚至一起出现在了经典游戏Final FantasyVII的片头CG里。

Welcome To My World 豆瓣
Daniel Johnston 类型: 流行
发布日期 2006年4月18日 出版发行: High Wire Music
Released around the same time in 2006 as the acclaimed documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston, this 21-track compilation features many of the troubled singer/songwriter's finest compositions. A well-regarded outsider artist who has struggled with mental illness, Johnston is responsible for an impressive number of lo-fi classics that channel pop culture through his own quirky sensibility, many of which are presented here, including "Casper the Friendly Ghost," "Speeding Motorcycle," and "Sorry Entertainer." Johnston's high-pitched voice is matched to melodies and lyrics that are remarkably lovely and affecting, making this a rewarding collection. (Note: Many of the songs featured on Welcome to My World are also available on the second disc of The Late Great Daniel Johnson: Discovered Covered, with the first disc consisting of renditions by high-profile alternative rock acts such as the Flaming Lips, Tom Waits, and Beck.)

WE 豆瓣
6.1 (20 个评分) Arcade Fire 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2022年5月6日 出版发行: Columbia
Produced by Nigel Godrich, Win & Reìgine, and recorded in multiple locales including New Orleans, El Paso and Mount Desert Island, WE paradoxically distills “the longest we’ve ever spent writing, uninterrupted, probably ever" (per the band’s Win Butler) into a concise 40 minute epic – one as much about the forces that threaten to pull us away from the people we love, as it is inspired by the urgent need to overcome them. WE’s cathartic journey follows a definable arc from darkness into light over the course of seven songs divided into two distinct sides -- Side “I” channeling the fear and loneliness of isolation, and Side “WE” expressing the joy and power of reconnection.
On the album’s cover, a photograph of a human eye by the artist JR evokes Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. This stunning image -- embellished by the distinctive airbrush color tinting of Terry Pastor (utilizing the same physical technique he employed on David Bowie’s iconic Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust covers) – is the visual expression of WE.
