释义 | 中文名称:When It Falls 资源类型:APE 发行时间:2004年3月2日 专辑歌手:Zero 7 地区:英国 语言:英语 简介: 专辑介绍: Zero7由Henry Binns及Sam Hardaker两位在伦敦当地录音室工作的哥们儿一起组合而成,在90年代的组建初期主要以改编他人作品的混音版来锻炼他们制作音乐上的一些技术与技巧,其中以改编Radiohead的《Climbing up the walls》和TerryCallier的《Love Theme from Spartacus》两首作品最被人称颂。2001年他们推出了首张大碟《Simple Things》,终于让世人完全的领略了他们在娴熟的驾驭音乐的功力,而专辑的热卖与好评不仅让他们名声大振,也间接的促使了Trip-Hop这种音乐形式在全球的进一步流行。 《When It Falls》是Zero7在2004年3月推出的最新专辑,如果算上去年1月发行的《Simple Things Remixes》这张混音专辑的话,那么这就是他们在连续四年里发行的第四张专辑。在Zero7身上你可以清晰地感受到原本刻板得有些木讷的英国人在电子乐面前那种丝毫不含糊的浪漫表达,在第一曲《Warm Sound》里你几乎会以为重又听到了Air的《Moon Safari》,那种与这个时代逆向的唯美情调在伦敦大雾的包裹下却同样显得迷人万千,在长笛的悠扬声中,你也许早就忘了这首作品居然出自两位电子艺人之手。《Home》里的铜管乐所占的比重虽然不多,却总是让人想起遥远的西藏,与宗教节日上的乐声相比,它的轻柔当然可以忽略不计,但是做为波澜搅动你的心海却已经足够足够。《Somersault》踩着略有沙质的华尔兹节拍,和着Sia Furler同样具有沙质的嗓音,就像是一张砂皮反复地在你身上一遍又一遍地擦拭着,稍有疼痛却又欲罢不能。《Over Our Heads》里的背景声虽然还用了六七十年代欧陆怀旧风情的电子合成器音色,不过在爵士化的镲片单调地敲击声中还是给人一种现世的压抑感觉,而音乐也就在这种时空交错中恍惚行进着。同名曲《When It Falls》无疑是专辑里最“慢”、最“轻”的一首音乐,在贝司懒洋洋的跳动中,空气仿佛被凝固了,而因为慢的程度往往与记忆的强度直接成正比,所以这也可以说是一首相当适合你回忆起更多往事的音乐。而《In Time》无疑就是专辑里最让人心潮澎湃的音乐了,催枯拉朽的弦乐、神经质的口琴、英式的吉它扫弦,再加上那些于不经意间响起的电子音效——或空灵、或诡魅,说不清是应该顺着音乐奔跑还是就此停下,是该伤心落泪还是该开怀满面,颇有种被矛盾折磨的快感。《Morning Song》总是让人分不清是应该在早上听还是在晚上当催眠音乐听,因为它的懒散总是会给人一种无望的感觉,一种经久不逝的疲惫和一种与世俱焚的颓废,也许和你所期待听到的那种晨间健康歌的理解相去甚远了吧!如果是这样你可以仅听5分钟以后的段落,试一试在欢快的鼓击和吉它扫弦中去撑起你的脚尖,像多年以前那样没心没肺地背着书包上学堂的一样轻灵,这种感觉倒是久违了。(转自tom网) Amazon.com Review: Beautifully crafted and produced, When It Falls is a fitting follow-up to Zero 7's 2001 platinum hit Simple Things. Reintroducing several of their debut's guest vocalists, the band continue to meld subtle orchestration, elegant jazz and easy-going West Coast soul and folk, creating a sound so tasteful it makes Morcheeba sound like Napalm Death. The album opens with the appropriately titled "Warm Sound," where long-time collaborator Mozez delivers his spacey soul over a quivering flute and funky keys. Later he reappears for the string-swept lullaby "Over Our Heads." Next up is newcomer Tina Dico who lends the softest of vocals to "Home," where quietly chiming guitars rise to a careful collision of brass, and "The Space Between," a techno-update of 70s folk-jazz. Much the same service is provided by Sophie Barker on "Passing By" and "In Time," which recalls the sweet innocence of early James Taylor. It's left to Sia Furler to add extra color, her slight rasp lending character to both "Somersault" and "Speed Dial No 2." Throughout, the band introduce a welter of instruments and effects, sometimes approaching the psychedelic, though they're keen to avoid an over-technological coldness--the squeak of finger on guitar string is never far away. For fans of Simple Things, it's a real treat. --Dominic Wills Album Description: 2004 release for UK down-tempo/soul outfit features 11 tracks including the first single 'Home'.
