大名鼎鼎的《纽约不插电》，Nirvana一次返璞归真的现场演出，有人说Kurt Cobain的天才与痛苦都在这次演出中表露无遗，数月之后，Kurt Cobian结束了自己生命，这张专辑也因而具有了非比寻常的纪念意义，在英美专辑排行榜都登上首位，并在1996年获得了葛莱美最佳另类摇滚专辑奖。

One of the most famous and influential albums ever recorded, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band had a huge impact on the music world, signaling the beginning of a new era of sophistication and maturity in rock. The musical experimentation was dynamic and fresh, several tracks were edited to create seamless transitions, and even the visual design was more elaborate than anything previously attempted. Producer George Martin and The Beatles searched for new sounds and studio effects. They added crowd sounds and animal cries from sound-effects recordings, sped up Paul McCartney's vocals in "When I'm Sixty-Four" (to make him sound younger), and sustained a single piano chord for 40 seconds to end "A Day In The Life." The orchestrations, scored by Martin, were hailed by critics as bridging the gap between pop and classical music, and many people who had never bought a rock record bought Sgt. Pepper's. EMI. 2005.

Amazon.co.uk Review
Pulp's much-anticipated follow up to Different Class seemed, at the time, to disappoint those who'd expected more of Jarvis Cocker's turbulent kitchen-sink scenarios. Instead, in This Is Hardcore the band dished up 12 tracks of introspective claustrophobia based around the fall-out of the dramas they'd previously essayed, as well as Cocker's own double-edged popularity. Most of the tracks have hints of sleazy sex - the title track and the sublime highlight "Seductive Barry" being the most overt - but the perils of being the ageing partygoer are equally realized in "Party Hard" and the opener "The Fear". Likewise, the music is suitably ominous; possibly due to guitarist Russell Senior's departure, there's plenty of dense soundtrack moments and plenty of electronic flourishes that complement the mood well.
That's not to say it's all doom and gloom; the broken-hearted man about the house in "TV Movie" or the cathartic "The Day After The Revolution" are both classics. Indeed the only real mis-step is the lengthy running time. The bonus disc collects all of the excellent B-sides from the singles, most notably the essential "Ladies Man" and "The Professional", and while the unreleased demos aren't as enticing as those on the concurrent reissues, they'll certainly be well received from Pulp's ever-loyal fanbase. --Thom Allott

专辑介绍：在Secondhand Serenade首张专辑《Awake》发行后将近一年的时间，其重回乐坛带来了他令人期待的第二张专辑《A Twist In My Story》。这张名称恰如其分的专辑在Secondhand Serenade（又称John Vesely）标志性的自然歌喉上添加了交响元素同时配以完整乐队的支持。“我继承了很多第一张专辑里的东西，这是因为我写歌的方式本身并没有改变。只是变得更加复杂罢了。但是这次的改变是必须的，因为无论就个人还是表演者而言，我已经改进了，”Vesely评论道。“我只是想更加富有创造力，同时制作自己想要的歌曲。我所使用的都是我认为每首歌曲所需要的，这就意味着我需要向原来的蛋糕添加新的糕层了。”
这些新的层面在专辑的开始部分就显现了出来。开首一曲“Like A Knife”马上让人感受到了一部用心的作品所呈现的弦乐、标志和弦以及真情演绎的歌词。Butch Walker制作的情歌“Fall For You”紧随其后，如同许多歌曲一样，这是一首John搭配钢琴的歌曲。专辑之后的歌曲都是属于混合类型的，包括“Stranger”、“Maybe”以及得益于完整乐队支撑的快歌“Suppose”。其他诸如“Why”、“Goodbye”以及专辑同名歌曲“A Twist In My Story”只是证明了此种去除雕饰的歌曲形式同样让人印象深刻。
总之，Secondhand Serenade满足了他的支持者，他提到正是这些支持者帮助他到达了人生的这一点。他说：“没有我歌迷的支持，我什么都做不到。我现在和将来的任何成功都离不开他们。”正是因为这个原因，他无论是在网上还是在表演中都与歌迷保持着亲密的联系，对此他很得意。《A Twist In My Story》对Secondhand Serenade来说是一个新的篇章，这张专辑带领你经历爱情与生活的起起落落。John Vesely，一位沿着自己生活轨迹诉说故事的人，正在他无尽的故事长河中推出新的波澜。(资料整理自网络)

We Shot The Moon is a pop rock band based out of San Diego, California. They are the brainchild of Jonathan Jones, the former lead singer of the now defunct band Waking Ashland. When they called it quits in July of 2007, Jonathan kept writing in hopes of continuing his career in music, and thus We Shot The Moon was formed.
In August of 2007 the band entered a studio in Orange County and began work on the bands debut EP titled he Polar Bear and Cougar? Jonathan enlisted the help of his friends Dan Koch and Joe Greenetz, who are both from the band Sherwood, to work on writing and recording the songs. The EP was co produced by Michael Rosas and Dan Koch.
We Shot The Moon are currently on tour in the United States. They have slated the release of their EP for Fall of 2007 and have announced they will release their full length album in stores Spring 2008.
