BioLogICal-Events 是由 Michael Weisser 和 Ralf Pauli 组成，Weisser 曾经是7-80年代大名鼎鼎的德国新世纪乐队 Software的成员，目前是 IC公司的发行总监，BioLogICal-Events 的四张专辑却不能逃脱喜爱电子乐的我的视线。这张 Mutabor 是他们第三张作品，比起前面两张，在韵律上显得更加成熟，利用合成器产生了欢快悲伤的氛围效果对我们生活的地球的表达，Mutabor 是一个部落语言，有意思的是，作者把这个词汇拆分为两部分一个作为开头，一个做结尾，热忱推荐给喜欢新世纪的朋友。--- tonyyin

French reissue of the German progressive rock act's 1972 album.

tUnE-yArDs' forthcoming LP, w h o k i l l, out April 19 on 4AD, aims to clean up her sound a bit while maintaining the rawness that made BiRd-BrAiNs so lovable.

"Eye Contact", Gang Gang Dance's first album for 4AD, was recorded in an old church converted to a recording studio in upstate New York, with a myriad of chimes, drums and good vibrations. Chris Coady was behind the board to capture the impromptu jam sessions as well as the structured songs the band had on hand when they started, while Alex Epton aka XXXchange, focused on vocals with Lizzi . When combined, we have the cleanest, freshest and most focused Gang Gang Record to date.

离开地心引力最快的捷径是忧郁。
不知道，多愁善感是不是一种容易让人聚焦的方式。 我们自以为理解世界的方式比人复杂，我们自以为别人看不见我们明白的视野，我们自以为拥抱的价值如此出世，我们自以为云淡风轻是韬光养晦，我们自以为忧郁皱眉是领悟世界的捷径。
不晓得，有多少人和我一样，听到Deerhunter的「广场恐惧症」(Agoraphobia)时，心头为之一震。 原来，是的，我长久以来一直渴望这样的音乐节奏，四四拍，不徐不急地缓缓进前，歌词里的文字，看似无病呻吟，却又如此精准地在心头上画一刀。 幽幽地无法自制，反复按下repeat，我们都需要一种寂语，在垂眼昏厥时的安稳。
去年被Deerhunter第二张专辑《Cryptograms》那股病态魅力纠缠许久的黑洞体验，仍记忆犹新，才一晃眼，这群以主唱Bradford Cox为首的亚特兰大五人组，一次推出两张新作，且若性子较急，年中已可透过管道完整听见。 原先对Bradford Cox的猜测与想象，也藉由去年底一场Deerhunter演出，幻化为真实。不顾纽约法条，他在台上抽烟，吞云吐雾的同时对台下观众说：「我好想念妈妈！」那景况听来滑稽，但不知怎的，人在现场，竟感到有点鼻酸。即便在独立摇滚阵营，Bradford Cox仍是一名怪到骨子里的咖，然他的痴与狂，才华与自卑，正使Deerhunter处处展露着用力拉扯后的真实痕迹，他们的音乐，自然也勾人魂魄。
强烈的乐团性格使然，对他们感冒的人不少，然喜欢他们的人，却也慢慢增加。选在My Bloody Valentine正式复合，西岸的No Age也带来成熟新作的2008年发表《Cryptograms》的接续作品，与其说曲风同样深受Shoegazing影响的Deerhunter想证明什么，不如说他们寻求的是一种乐曲上的对话，无论对前辈的示意，或与同侪的应和。
《Microcastle》与《Cryptograms》不同之处，是流畅的圆融感。这么说，不代表《Cryptograms》首尾不一，而是它前后半部的差异性极为显著，毕竟乐团只花了两天录制，并将两天的成果按照时间顺序铺排下来，未将它们并置在一起。因此，听着《Cryptograms》便可得出前半部以长篇演奏曲为主，后半部以传统曲势为主的印象，而那确实也是乐团经由两个Session试图呈现的歧异风格。
反观《Microcastle》，由于花了一周录制，团员间的沟通与概念发想的时间都更充足，专辑没有一个鲜明的分隔线，呈现出圆形循环的一致感。Bradford Cox苍白贫血的嗓子仍是Deerhunter最迷离的声音表情之一，但此回吉他手Lockett Pundt也分担了不少歌唱任务，贝斯手Josh Fauver也主理了好几首歌（包括全辑最醒目的必杀曲目，犹如商借了Sonic Youth最流畅吉他旋律线的〈Nothing Ever Happened〉）。换言之，《Microcastle》更像一份团队作业，并非仅是Bradford Cox单打独斗的成品。
虽然调子更动听了，Deerhunter并未在编曲上妥协。突然的中断、定格，乃至失焦与摇晃，随后急速换档爬上天梯，并吓你一跳。从多数定义来看，《Microcastle》无法归类在传统摇滚的范畴，那荡漾流转的Kranky厂牌式环境声景、走在车库庞克与艺术庞克间的羊肠小道，仍旧布满了瓦砾，只是Deerhunter选择穿上一双更松软的鞋子，脚步声，自然也轻柔许多。
伴随专辑《Weird Era Cont.》不只是填充功能而已，是一张完成度极高、拥有自主生命力的个体。更具水感，诡异与失重，事实上其中几首强歌，甚至胜过《Microcastle》的弱歌，譬如长十分钟的结尾曲〈Calvary Scars II/Aux Out〉，呼应的是《Microcastle》里的〈Calvary Scars〉，将一分半的原作延长为无边际的迷幻奥德赛，是神游太虚的必备曲目。而这种一鱼二吃的手法，自然教人想起Radiohead两个版本的〈Morning Bell〉（分别出现于《Kid A》与《Amnesiac》）。
连同年初的Side-Project乐团Atlas Sound，Bradford Cox已于2008年推出三张质量上乘的作品，产量惊人。却也不免让人担心，这种狂烧蜡烛式的旺盛创作力，会否让他原已不良的病体，更显憔悴，终至成为下一名摇滚殉道者？

Ege Bamyası is the fourth studio album by the German experimental rock band Can which was originally released as an LP in 1972 by United Artists. The album contains the single "Spoon", which charted in the Top 10 in Germany, largely because of its use as the theme of a German TV thriller mini-series called "Das Messer" (The Knife). The success of the single allowed Can to move to a better studio in which they recorded Ege Bamyası. Ege Bamyası was remastered as a hybrid SACD in 2004 which includes a booklet with commentary on the album by former Melody Maker journalist David Stubbs, as well as previously unreleased photos of the band.

Can在1969年带着他们制作粗糙却令人鼓舞的专辑《Monster Movie》初次登场，这也是唯一一张由来自美国本土的歌手Malcolm Mooney主唱所有歌曲的专辑。
Can's debut is the only full-length, proper release to feature original vocalist Malcolm Mooney

Can was a German experimental rock band formed in Cologne, West Germany in 1968 by the core quartet of Holger Czukay (bass), Irmin Schmidt (keyboards), Michael Karoli (guitar), and Jaki Liebezeit (drums).
The group cycled through several vocalists, including Malcolm Mooney ('68ñ70) and Damo Suzuki ('70ñ73), as well as various temporary members. Drawing from backgrounds in the avant-garde and jazz, Can incorporated minimalist, electronic, and world music elements into their often psychedelic and funk-inflected music. They have been widely hailed as pioneers of the German krautrock scene.
The band used the names "Inner Space" and "The Can" before finally settling on "CAN". Liebezeit subsequently suggested the backronym "Communism, Anarchism, Nihilism" for the band's name. In mid-1968, the band enlisted the creative, highly rhythmic, but unstable and often confrontational American vocalist Malcolm Mooney, a New York-based sculptor, with whom they recorded the material for an album,Prepared to Meet Thy Pnoom.
The next few years saw Can release their most acclaimed works. While their earlier recordings tended to be at least loosely based on traditional song structures, on their mid-career albums the band reverted to an extremely fluid improvisational style.
The double album Tago Mago (1971) is often seen as a groundbreaking, influential and deeply unconventional record, based on intensely rhythmic jazz-inspired drumming, improvised guitar and keyboard soloing (frequently intertwining each other), tape edits as composition, and Suzuki's idiosyncratic vocalisms. Czukay: "(Tago Mago) was an attempt in achieving a mystery musical world from light to darkness and return."
The later albums Landed (1975) and Flow Motion (1976) saw Can moving towards a somewhat more conventional style as their recording technology improved. Accordingly, the disco single "I Want More" from Flow Motion became their only hit record outside Germany. Co-written by their live sound mixer Peter Gilmour, it reached No 26 in the UK charts in October 1976, which prompted an appearance on Top of the Pops, where Czukay performed with a double bass.
In 1977 Can were joined by former Traffic bassist Rosko Gee and percussionist Rebop Kwaku Baah, both of whom provided vocals to Can's music, appearing on the albums Saw Delight (1977), Out of Reach (1978) and Can (1979). During this period Holger Czukay was pushed to the fringes of the group's activity; in fact he just made sounds using shortwave radios, Morse code keys, tape recorders and other sundry objects. He left Can in late 1977 and did not appear on the albums Out of Reach or Can, although he was involved with production work for the latter album. The band seemed to be in a hiatus shortly afterwards, but reunions have taken place on several occasions since.
Tago Mago is the third album by the German krautrock band Can, originally released as a double LP in 1971. It was the band's second studio album and the first to feature Damo Suzuki after their previous vocalist, Malcolm Mooney, quit the band in 1970 to return to the United States.
Tago Mago has been described as Can's best and most extreme record in sound and structure. The album has received much critical acclaim since its release and has been cited as an influence by various artists.
With the band in full artistic flower and Damo Suzuki's sometimes moody, sometimes frenetic speak/sing/shrieking in full effect, Can released not merely one of the best Krautrock albums of all time, but one of the best albums ever, period. Tago Mago is that rarity of the early '70s, a double album without a wasted note, ranging from sweetly gentle float to full-on monster grooves. "Paperhouse" starts things brilliantly, beginning with a low-key chime and beat, before amping up into a rumbling roll in the midsection, then calming down again before one last blast. Both "Mushroom" and "Oh Yeah," the latter with Schmidt filling out the quicker pace with nicely spooky keyboards, continue the fine vibe. After that, though, come the huge highlights three long examples of Can at its absolute best.
"Halleluwah" featuring the Liebezeit/Czukay rhythm section pounding out a monster trance/funk beat; Karoli's and Schmidt's always impressive fills and leads; and Suzuki's slow-building ranting above everything is 19 minutes of pure genius.

1974年12月21日にCBS/SONYより発売された、寺山修司の自伝的映画『田園に死す』のオリジナルサウンドトラック盤CDが再プレス！映画音楽をジャパニーズ・サイケデリック・カルチャーのオリジネーターの“J･A・シーザー”が担当、演奏には、“J･A・シーザー”とジェフ一毛・犬神サーカスのバンドが参加。詩・構成は寺山修司。アナログLPは超レア盤！本当に嬉しい再プレスです。

一个关于“地下丝绒”(The Velvet Undergruond)的老笑话：当年几乎没有多少人买乐队的第一张唱片，但这些买了唱片的人在后来都组建了他们自己的乐队。而真正的妙语是“每一位朋克、后朋克和先锋流行艺术家在过去的30年中都欠下了地下丝绒乐队一笔灵感的债务，哪怕只是受到了间接的影响。”在20世纪60年代末期乐队存在的日子里，他们经常被误解、经常被谩骂，但更多的是受到冷遇。不过，“地下丝绒”还是有争议地被认为是美国1965年之后最重要的摇滚乐队，它是70年代和80年代所有白人艺术噪音音乐的源泉，并且为摇滚创作中的暴戾的吉他弹奏以及带刺的现实主义的叙事歌词创作手法定下了一个普遍的标准。
