Maximilian Hecker忧情王子,许多人所期待的,第五张专辑《one day》，有些音乐在第一次倾听的时候就会深深的爱上，Maximilian Hecker的音乐亦是如此。这位来自德国英俊帅气却坚持用英文演唱的独立音乐人，有股让人在波澜不惊的宁静中感动至深的力量。
Maximilian Hecker的音乐风格属于Indie pop，飘忽不定的清澈声线与古典钢琴的完美结合，音乐里弥漫的情感略有稀薄，通透的假声时常在瞬间突然击中内心的脆弱，独特的曲式行进节奏令歌曲在哀伤之余有那么点倔强不愿放弃的态度，间断的吉他噪音和失真是音乐里常有的元素，就好像静静忧伤过后，抬起头的坚定目光。除了古典钢琴衬底爆发性假声之外，他的专辑总有几首电子元素丰富的歌曲，这与他过去曾担任电子音乐音乐制作人不无关系。
Maximilian如此形容自己的音乐：音乐是反射他对情感和内心自由的寻求，音乐的柔软程度正如同他心灵的坚硬程度。所以，如果从技术角度给他的音乐一个限定描述，那将无法体会隐藏在旋律中的细腻情感。
他用纯粹自我的态度摆脱严谨僵硬的民族性，让音乐伤感却又温情，用最柔弱的声音表达对生命悲喜的唯美。感伤并不是所有的主题，缓慢动人，沉重飘渺，悲情但乐观，我们感觉到太多忧伤，那是因为迷恋音乐中能够治愈一切伤痛的力量。
其实也不用多介绍了，2007和2008年的中国巡演，让大家早就熟悉了这位德国的情歌王子。有点挺酸的，他来中国巡演的时候由于工作关系到外地出差的原因而错过了，哎，只能说句无缘吧，也挺羡慕能去的朋友们，希望他2009年还会继续来巡演吧，好了不废话了，大家尽情吧。

近年來這種帶點神秘以及冷調美感的搖滾樂，已經越來越多搖滾樂迷喜愛，
他們是來自丹麥的搖滾樂團，分別為Jonas Bjerre、Bo Madsen、Johan Wohlert、 Silas Graae組成，
他們熱愛音樂，熱愛電影，因為對於末世藝術的喜好而結識，一同組成樂隊，1997年靠著這張A Triumph For Man，正式宣告Mew誕生。
只可惜當時歐洲當紅的是Euro Dance，一個完全沒有透過商業宣傳的樂團，無法造成共鳴，直到第二張專輯Half The World Is Me，
將自行成立的廠牌Evil Office，交給瑞典的唱片公司來發行，成功得到瑞典樂迷的喜愛，才漸漸打響知名度。
但是對於這張當時只限量2000張的首張專輯A Triumph For Man，卻是讓我覺得真正想去欣賞Mew的專輯，
他們的音樂就好像一部藝術電影一樣，充斥著迷幻的感覺以及美妙的光彩一般，獨特的冷調氣息，
Life Is Not Distant就表現出了他們對於末日藝術的幻想及想法，Snowflake在吉他和虛無飄渺背景音樂相互交疊，
讓人好像置身於北極一般，I Should Have Been A Tsin-Tsi透過主唱猶如BeeGees般的假音，華麗奔放的吉他和貝斯共同在耳中迴盪，
讓人不禁想一起舉起雙手跟著大喊，Web這首帶著遨遊天空般的感覺，Coffee Break更是充分表現出Mew他們收斂的另一面，慢慢的放鬆你的心，
直到現在Mew已經推出了And The Glass Handed Kites專輯，或許有人還是會把他們跟Cult以及Tahiti 80做比較，但不可置疑，
Mew的熱潮不也映證了近年北歐的Post Rock熱潮，讓我們對搖滾有更新的體認。不論你喜不喜歡搖滾，都要試著聽聽。

Coldplay酷玩乐队最新大碟X&Y《XY密码》！
主打歌曲：《Speed Of Sound》首播后成为全世界15个电台频道的热点金曲榜首
《X&Y》是一张很大气的作品，歌曲的包容面很广，音乐有时安静沉潜，有时又营造出宏观且涵盖多重层次的声音，这样阔气的音乐架构为Coldplay开创出了新的畛域。歌词内容也涉及到一些范围较大的主题，像是生与死、爱与失去、拥抱世界等等主题，其中也谈到了要接受一些事情永远都没有完整答案的现实：“在数学的领域里，X和Y经常是答案的代号，但是在生活里没有人能有确实的答案。”Chris表示，“对我而言，这张专辑就是在讲那些无解的问题，还有你要怎么接受你不能解出所有未知变项的现实。”
这张唱片中的Coldplay也向人们展示了自己以前从未有过的进取精神，从“Talk”中Kraftwerk似的电子节拍，到“Swallowed In The Sea”中深受Pogues影响的曲风，整张专辑涉猎了丰富的音乐元素，向人们传递出一种厚重迷人、简约却又壮观的Coldplay之声。

Lifehouse的第二张大碟《Stanley Climbfall》，再度由上张专辑的制作人Ron Aniello与知名混音师Brendan O’Brien(U2、Pearl Jam)联手打造。如果说首张专辑侧重描写挫折、欲望与希望，那么新辑之中则展现了团员们的成长以及对未来方向的了然于胸。为《No Name Face》进行巡回时，团中22岁的创作灵魂--主唱兼吉他手Jason Wade即积极展开词曲创作，而贝斯手Sergio Andrade、鼓手Rick Woolstenhulme则替Jason Wade的创意灵感提供了强健的血肉之躯，化为一首首散发自信神采、更锐利响亮的摇滚佳作。 这样的进步，在加入英式摇滚风格的新辑《Stanley Climbfall》中随处可见：如首发单曲《Spin》与《Wash》揉入丰饶诱人的和弦、《Anchor》中鲜明抢眼的吉他、如披头四风味的专辑同名曲《Stanley Climbfall》；而融合浓厚grunge风味与清新acoustic感觉的《Empty Place》给乐迷一个舒适的冥想空间、911恐怖攻击事件后有感而发的抒情摇滚《Take Me Away》、Jason Wade在录音空档灵光乍现的慢板情绪佳笔《My Precious》，则展现了他的假声灵魂唱腔。正如制作人Ron Aniello所形容：简单真挚的《Stanley Climbfall》不过分矫揉造作，可以清晰听见人声与乐器的纯度与锐利，以及歌曲蕴含的丰沛能量。Jason Wade动人的歌喉、Sergio Andrade和Rick Woolstenhulme精湛的乐器演奏与歌词旋律精采交锋。

Lifehouse由主音、吉他手兼作曲人Jason Wade、贝斯手Sergio Andrade和鼓手Rick Woolstenhulme组成，但在舞台上他们却是4人组合，加多一位吉他手Stuart Mathis。作为灵魂人物的Jason，属于天才型，不只作曲有水准，那把嗓子别具一格，带有“原始”味道，而且写的歌词相当有深度，尤其是关于生活经历的种种，很能引起听者共鸣。在2000年10月底，Lifehouse第一张专辑《No Name Face》。推出经过接近半年的努力，《No Name Face》已在美国卖破首个100万张，在壁报专辑销售榜的排名也迫近前10名，而主打歌《Hanging By A Moment》在单曲榜更已进入10

Blink-182是当今美国比较年轻一代的朋克乐队中，在商业上最为成功的乐队之一。Blink-182乐队最早组建于1993年，这只有三个人组成的乐队最初在美国加利福尼亚州南部的Poway成立，当时的名字叫做Blink，由歌手兼吉他手Tom Delonge首先创立，另外两名成员分别是他的朋友，贝斯手Mark Hoppus和鼓手Scott "Mad Dog" Raynor。但是Blink乐队在成立不久之后，他们被告知自己乐队的名字和爱尔兰一支乐队相同，并且有可能因此受到法律方面的指控，Tom Delonge和其他两名成员被迫在乐队名字的后边加上了后缀数字182以示区别，于是就形成了乐队现有的名称Blink-182，至于数字182的含义，乐队成员表示这只是他们随机任意挑选的数字而已，并没有什么特别的含义。
Blink-182乐队成立之后，在1993年，乐队自行录制并发行了第一张EP唱片《Fly Swatter》，几个月之后这张专辑被重新定名为《Buddha》，在1994年正式发行，这张专辑的发行提升了乐队的地位，并且使他们的名字渐渐被更多的人们所知晓，他们的音乐也开始出现在一些滑冰，冲浪，滑雪板等刺激性很强的极限运动的电视节目中，这也使他们有机会和比较大一些的唱片公司签约。不久之后，Blink-182乐队正式和Grilled Cheese/Cargo唱片公司签约，并且在几个月以后发行了乐队的第二张专辑《Cheshire Cat》。在Blink-182乐队的名声渐渐扩大之后，他们也得到了更多的出场演出机会，其中最重要的就是获得了与另外两支已经名声在外的朋克乐队 Pennywise乐队和NOFX乐队一起展开世界性范围的巡回演出的机会，这次名为Warped的世界性巡回演出在1996到1997年中，先后在美国，加拿大，日本和澳大利亚等国家和地区展开，同时，Blink-182乐队的音乐也开始更多的出现在那些极限运动的电视节目中作为背景音乐。同时在 1997年，Blink-182乐队乐队发行了第三张专辑《Dude Ranch》，这张专辑第一次冲进了Billboard 200排行榜，这也让这支三人乐队拥有了更大的听众群体以及更大的知名度。不久之后，Blink-182乐队与MCA唱片公司签订合同。
1999年，Blink-182乐队在MCA唱片公司发行了乐队的第四张专辑《Enema of the State》，这张由大唱片公司发行的专辑在发行不久之后，就成功的进入了Billboard 200排行榜的前十名，并且最终销量突破了四百万张。在这张专辑把Blink-182乐队塑造成为了音乐明星之后，乐队发行了一张限量版专辑《The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back)》。在这张专辑发行之前，Blink-182乐队的人员已经发生了变化，乐队的原鼓手Scott "Mad Dog" Raynor重新回到了学校去完成学业，取而代之的则是已经在多支乐队里担任过鼓手的Travis Landon Barker。
2001年，Blink-182乐队的第五张专辑《Take Off Your Pants and Jacket》正式发行，这张专辑在发行之后迅速成为了Billboard 200排行榜的冠军。随后的时间里，Blink-182乐队继续展开了巡回演出，他们和Green Day等朋克乐队一起在2002年的时候参加了Pop Disaster巡演活动。2003年11月18日，Blink-182乐队的第六张专辑《Blink-182》正式发行。

Phaedra is the fifth major release and fifth studio album by German electronic music group Tangerine Dream. It was recorded during November 1973 at The Manor in Shipton-on-Cherwell, England and released on 20 February 1974 through Virgin Records.

John Zorn is an American composer, conductor, saxophonist, arranger, multi-instrumentalist, producer and "dedicated improviser that deliberately resists category".

At the turn of the twenty-first century, the New York City music scene floated in a surfaceless orbit of samplers, shoegazers, and delay pedals. The city's guitars lay choked by a digital fog, or else they lay dustily forgotten. Then, in 2002, an unbridled five-song EP by an unknown band brought noise, sex, passion, and mayhem back to the stage and to the stereo. The band's name evoked the kid who knows that whoever's in charge is full of s**t -- "yeah, yeah, yeah" -- but it also rang with the affirmation of pure rock and roll: F**k yeah! The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' first full-length album, Fever to Tell, was simultaneously filthy, infectious, sloppy, and brilliant. You could dance to it, and you could probably die to it. "Maps" was nominated for a Grammy, and the record went gold in the UK.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs spawned a new breed of power trio. They work together as a single organism, but each member maintains their own personality and contributes their own strengths. Think of them as a three-piece Earth, Wind, and Fire. On second thought, it's probably better if you didn't do that. Brian Chase's drumming couldn't be tighter or more precise, even as the band descends into the pitch-dark caves of noise he frequents in his free-jazz spare time--and one can hear rigor and experiment behind even his simplest, no-frills (or -fills) rhythms. Nick Zinner's guitar pushes back--hard--against Chase's formalism, grounding the group in rock and roll at its ballsiest, dirtiest, and most shredly. His soaring, sometimes grinding lines are wires connecting Chase's drums to the psychologically kaleidoscopic vocals of Karen O, who, as the New Yorker has noted, would have been a success "had she appeared with nothing more than a microphone and a pair of maracas."
The band developed an itchy and unshakeable aversion to repeating itself. It would have been easy enough to record another spastic, live-sounding garage album after the success of Fever, but their next full-length, 2007's Show Your Bones, added acoustic guitar and more serious compositions that picked up on the direction suggested by a song like "Maps." Rolling Stone called the record a "textural triumph," and the group honed their legendary stage performance -- one cannot understand the Yeah Yeah Yeahs without seeing Karen O writhing and thriving onstage. A handful of great songs that didn't make it onto Bones became tour staples (and fan favorites), and the band sat down with the celebrated PiL/Slits/Gang of Four producer Nick Launay to record 2007's EP Is Is.
Last year, the Yeahs shook their Etch A Sketch® clean to start work on a new record with producers Dave Sitek and Nick Launay. "We usually go into these things totally blind," Karen O said. "We have no idea what's going to happen when we sit down." This empty page feeling was helped by geography: they began writing the record in the middle of a snowstorm, in a hundred-year-old barn in rural Massachusetts. "You looked out the window and it was just pastures and pastures of snow-covered fields," she said. Zinner had brought along a synthesizer to work with during the writing session, not expecting it to end up on the album. "That was an old keyboard I bought on eBay," he said. "Literally, it was the first day we were setting up, plugging things in. Ten minutes later, we'd written that song 'Skeletons.'" The song--and the whole record--have a new feeling of space and atmosphere that's unusual for the band. "Obviously, synths have been in rock music forever," Zinner says. "But to us it feels new, which is all we really care about--that excitement."
It's Blitz! signals both a glance backward and a step forward for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Zinner's vintage Arp--the same model used on records by The Cars, Joy Division, and Kraftwerk--contributes atmospheric washes ("Skeletons"), disco wiggles ("Dance till you're dead!" Karen sings on "Heads Will Roll"), and New Wave melodrama ("Soft Shock"). The first single, "Zero," combines all these elements to create a dance-floor anthem that sings directly to the listener. "We've got a death grip on the adolescent way of feeling things," O said. That's something I'll never be able to shake in the music I write. It's almost feels like a John Hughes 80s movie." But acknowledging the past in this way doesn't sound make for a nostalgic-sounding album. "I think there's a cool stability reflected in this record," Brian Chase says. "It reflects our transformation, and how we've developed as people."
