Love Poems for Dying Children Act I

专辑介绍

在那萧瑟的1995年9月，ERIKE（编曲，主音及背景和声）和TED（词曲，钢琴，键盘及主音）这两个孤独的灵魂走到了一起，AUTUMN TEARS这支后来被称之为“氛围化DOOM”乐风的乐队由此成形。经过了一段时间的磨合与创作，这两个黑暗中的灵魂在WEST SOUND录音室开始录制了他们的作品。

1996年4月，AUTUMN TEARS在他们自己的厂牌DARK SYMPHONIES（黑暗交响）下推出了首张专辑“LOVE POERMS FOR DYING CHILDREN：ACT I”（献给垂死孩子们的爱与诗歌）

这张限量发行的专辑中带有浓厚的古典色彩，宗教圣歌、管弦乐章、交响史诗、天使般的女声独唱等等元素十分突出，但它所散发出的情绪却是如此黑暗和绝望，做为歌词的诗歌中表达了一种永世无法解脱的孤独。这与DEAD CAN DANCE以及THIRD§THE MORTAL等一起构成了当时黑暗乐坛上一道独特的风景。仅仅两千张的发行量远远不能满足心灵被深深震撼的黑暗乐迷，为了满足大家的请求。AUTUMN TEARS在后来的日子里不得不推出了一个新的再版版本“LOVE POERMS FOR DYING CHILDREN：ACT I REPRISE MCMXCVIII”，所有的歌曲被重新录制，重新混音，做为一个小礼物，在这张新版里，添加了一首新歌“THE INTERMISSION“（这是由AUTUMN TEARS后来的成员JENNIFER LEE ANNA演唱的）。

Love Poems for Dying Children Act II

专辑介绍

这部专辑的全名是“The Garden of Crystalline Dreams - Love Poems for Dying Children: Act II”，可是因为Love Poems for Dying Children系列太有名，很多人都不会记得专辑真正的名字。由于Love Poems for Dying Children Act I出奇的抢手(2000张小样一扫而空)，使得Autumn Tears更加有信心，仅在West Sound录音室关了一年时间，II就出货了。如果你满怀信心从封面可以猜出这张制作要比I大手笔一些，那你就错了，因为当你听过会你就会发现这一切是幻觉。如果把这10首歌按在96年的专辑后面相信没人会听出有什么区别，一边是Erika仙音，一边是Ted魔鬼的低吼构成了一张庄严的新古典结构的叙事歌剧，是一张相当标准的Neo-classic专辑。专辑发行后，Autumn Tears变得更加出名，居然带动了I的销量，使得Dark Symphonies不得不在98年重发行了Love Poems for Dying Children Act I。而此时Erika已临时离开，Jennifer LeeAnna入替，Love Poems for Dying Children也暂时告一段落。

Love Poems for Dying Children Act III

专辑介绍

这是Love Poems for Dying Children的最后一辑。这张全名“Love Poems for Dying Children, Act III: Winter and the Broken Angel”的专辑，也是两位女声Erika和Jennifer共同奉献的经典之作。从97年Act II发行完后，Ted忙于他的独立公司Dark Symphonies的运作，而Erika则暂时离开乐队进行她的小说写作，所以Autumn Tears经历了几年的创作真空，而此时新成员女声Jennifer LeeAnna加入重新刺激起了AT的活力，1999年AT首先发行了一张为Act III“垫场”的Mini专辑“Absolution”，在这张专辑中，听众们领教了Jennifer的实力，其中“The Never” (这首歌也收录在随后的Act III中)广受好评。在前两张系列成功发行后，其实要延续其风格发行Act III并不是什么难办到的事，在1999年Erika回归AT后，Act III没废什么力气在2000年6月发行了。专辑内容无非还是“爱与死亡、痛苦和背叛”等等一幕幕颓废的黑暗交响乐，由于双女声太过“拉风”，Ted也老老实实的转到了“幕后”，收起了他那副魔鬼嗓子。在整个乐章中Erika和Jennifer的声音交相辉映，使得专辑唯美明亮了很多，也算是整个Love Poems for Dying Children系列的“Happy Ending”。至此系列全部结束，也在Dark Wave历史上留下了难以忘怀的一笔。
