Richard Wright 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 1996年11月26日 出版发行: EMI
The album is a four-part concept album based on Wright's then-wife Mildred's battle with depression, and is very much like a classic Pink Floyd concept album in its structure and overall feel.[citation needed] Two songs, "Reaching for the Rail" and "Breakthrough" feature Sinéad O'Connor on lead vocals, with Wright singing elsewhere. The album was recorded in Wright's personal studio in France. Broken China was only Wright's second solo record after 1978's Wet Dream and the last to be released before his death in September 2008.
Wright's Pink Floyd bandmate David Gilmour agreed to play on "Breakthrough." However, the approach for the song was changed later on, and Gilmour's performance was not used on the finished release.
On the DVD David Gilmour in Concert, a guest appearance is made by Wright, who sings "Breakthrough" accompanied by David Gilmour and his band.
The packaging has artwork by Pink Floyd's regular designer, Storm Thorgerson, and Peter Curzon.

The Turning Wheel 豆瓣 豆瓣
8.2 (33 个评分) Spellling 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2021年6月25日 出版发行: Sacred Bones Records
Venturing to push the boundaries of her primarily synth-based work, SPELLLING took on the ambitious task of orchestrating and self-producing an album that features an ensemble of 31 collaborating musicians. The Turning Wheel incorporates a vast range of rich acoustic sounds that cast SPELLLING’s work into vibrant new dimensions. The double LP is split into two halves - “Above” and “Below.” Lush string quartet shimmer combines with haunting banjo and wandering bassoon leads, as the album progresses from the more jubilant, warm, and dreamy mood of the “Above” tracks to the more chilling and gothic tone of the “Below” tracks. This progression is anchored by SPELLLING’s familiar bewitching vocal style that emphasises the theatrical and folkloric heart of her songwriting.
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.

Live At Brixton 豆瓣
Public Service Broadcasting 类型: 电子
发布日期 2016年12月2日 出版发行: Test Card Recordings
Public Service Broadcasting are pleased to reveal the release of a double LP/CD live album of their sold-out performance at Brixton Academy from ‘The Race For Space’ Tour, recorded on 29 November 2015. A taster of this release can be viewed here as the band perform their celebration of the moon landings with crowd favourite, ‘Go!’
“We first talked about the possibility of a live album and DVD a long while before Brixton and I have to confess that I ruled it out almost immediately” says frontman J. Willgoose, Esq. “I was persuaded over a few months, though, by both the reaction on the night - which was overwhelming - and of those who watched the stream as it went out live, that something special had occurred and it truly was worth documenting. Brixton had been a dream of mine ever since seeing the Manics there on their Everything Must Go tour many moons ago. Playing there as Public Service Broadcasting, and selling it out, was something I never even thought of as a possibility. It’s my favourite venue in the world and we wanted to make it a show to remember.”
The show features arena-level production crammed onto the Brixton stage with a 13- piece choir, 5-piece string section, expanded brass section, a longer set list, Smoke Fairies guesting on Valentina, a surprise special guest, dancers, pyrotechnics and more as the London-based band wow a hometown crowd with a very special performance. The release will be accompanied by a DVD filmed on the night along with an audio commentary from the band and bonus features.

8.6 (14 个评分) Roxy Music 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 1974年11月15日 出版发行: Warner Bros / Wea
滚石评出的最伟大500张专辑之一
1971年,(Roxy Music)在艺术摇滚运动中应运而生,核心成员包括主唱Bryan Ferry,吉他手Phil Manzanera,萨克斯手Andy Mackay和键盘手Brian Eno(73年离队单飞)。由于对先锋音乐与流行艺术的强烈喜好,乐队成员对时尚的追求决定了这支乐队的风格。虽然当时只有Eno一人化妆作性别模糊的中性装扮,但他们令人目眩的奇异服饰和迷幻浪漫的优美旋律使后人同样把他们归入了华丽摇滚范畴。
Roxy Music的迷人魅力与浪漫气质是70年代初期音乐的杰出代表,72年乐队第一张同名唱片刚刚发行就打进英国排行榜Top10,这张专辑里有三首歌后来都被Todd Haynes用进他反映华丽摇滚的着名影片《Velvet Goldmine》。之后的两张专辑《Stranded》和《Country Life》更是把这种唯美浪漫发挥了到了极致,他们早期的音乐被认为是艺术摇滚与华丽摇滚的混合体。之后Ferry逐渐把音乐风格转向流行的迪斯科节奏,但82年乐队的最后一张专辑《Avalon》,Ferry飘渺优雅的声线仿佛把听者重又带回香艳迷幻的70年代。洛克西音乐团于83年北美巡演后解散,之后乐队成员在各自的音乐道路上继续发展。
