时空之轮alternative album in msn space June 21 电脑问题我朋友问我:恩 我这电脑风扇太脏 老因过热而死机 怎么办 我说:把风扇和cpu 拆下来 放到那个水龙头下面 冲冲
他又问:不会拆怎么办 我说: 把整个主板放到洗衣机里 洗洗 别忘了+点洗衣粉 June 19 An old song that I likeI love your skin oh so white
I love your touch cold as ice And I love every single tear you cry
I just love the way you're losing your life May 17 胡写乱划 n久没写了,今天想写点东西.不知道写什么,就瞎胡写好了.
毕业快1年了,好像对学生时代也没什么感觉.可能我没什么恋旧的习惯.很多人说还是读书好,我觉的对我来说读到22么可以了,在下去精神上受不了.现在工作呢我挺有激情,不过不知道能持续多久,尽量把.虽然跟专业不是口对口,但起码我还比较感兴趣,所以心情不错.
老爸老妈该做的都做了,我心里没有任何埋怨.路呢是我自己选的,以后怎么样我自己会面对,没什么可说的,没什么可惦记.人要靠自己,我会靠我自己,我不知道贫我能干什么大事,不过我就想看看自己有什么能耐.
我觉得我呢是个普通人,偶尔想着要有翻作为什么的,当然地球人都在想.但目前脚踏实地应该是最重要的,做好份内的事情,享受生活也是种成就,虽然可能微不足道.
也许只是平凡的人生,或许是别的什么的,谁知道呢.不过这样才有意思,什么都可以,由你自己去创造.
March 19 Chrono Cross OST(06/03/19)
Audio CD (July 7, 2005)
在玩过sfc上的chrono trigger之后，我就对这部游戏作品十分着迷：奇幻美妙而又扑朔迷离的故事情节，赏心悦目的画面与人物设计，动人心弦的配乐给人以身临其境的感受。这一批集合了SQUARE与ENIX社内的超级精英制作班底：坂口博信、崛井雄二、鸟山明、光田康典、植松伸夫等算是让这款表现堪称完美的rpg名副其实，个人认为比起当年的ff系列甚至有过之而无不及。 第2部chrono cross虽然早在ps上发布了，但最近才下到，不过也算挺欣慰的。玩了流程的一多半了，故事情节不如1，有点牵强俯会。其他画面，动画，模式都进步多了，但1里的组合技没了，这有点让人失望了。音乐方面我感觉跟背景故事融合的较1来说就一般，但音乐本身还是很优秀，不少旋律还是延续了1中的主题。这里找了个原声http下载（我懒得下），有兴趣就听一下吧。

January 17 Diabolus in Musica - Accardo interpreta Paganini(06/01/17)
我个人对古典感觉一般，有气氛时候听一下还可以 记得以前看个视频steve vai跟个小孩子闹吉他，里面小孩用手指弹的一段精彩的solo 其实是steve vai的歌，而如这样的出自摇滚吉他大师的很多古典段子所谓的新古典无非是起源传统的 古典乐章。推荐其中的第三首，感觉比听电琴爽多了，纯正的古典提琴1/16拍演奏。 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 演奏：Accardo 阿卡多 目录： 01 La Risata del Diavolo 萨尔瓦托雷·阿卡多

January 15 Tycho - The Science of Patterns(06/01/15)
Artist: Tycho
ZT 跟Massive Attack,Portishead等等大牌相比，Tycho似乎並不那麽耀眼。不過這支在1999年由Scott Hansen組建的美國樂隊，在音樂上的表現卻毫不遜色，他們的旋律相對溫暖舒緩，如同陽光，不會令人陷於陰鬱絕望的境地。5年多來，Tycho的曲風從Trip hop慢慢轉向Ambient，並且隱約有了Downtempo的味道。但是始終保持著優雅夢幻的氣質。

They're for those times when you get back from work after being stuck in traffic, or when you've stubbed your toe trying to find your shoes in the morning. They are the musical equivalent of Radox bath salts, and I would quite happily wind the evening down with this album every day of the week.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biography 原名:Ruth Lee Jones 国籍：美国 出生地：亚拉巴马 音乐风格：布鲁斯 标准爵士乐 乐队中的工作：歌手 Dinah Washingtong被乐迷们尊称为“蓝调之后”，多元而卓越的音乐性，使她能蓝调、爵士与流行等不同的曲风完美的结合在一起，而且表达的率直而自然，就象她的本质一样。从福音歌曲中启蒙，又从蓝调音乐中得到成长，最后以爵士音乐在乐坛享有至尊荣誉，即使无数的畅销专辑已足以肯定她在音乐上的崇高地位，但她始终忠于自己最真的音乐本质。 Dinah Washingtongg本名RUTH LEE JONES，1924年8月24日生于阿拉巴马州的杜斯拉拉路沙。小时候移往芝加哥定局，15岁在芝加哥帝王剧院所举办的业余歌唱比赛中得奖之后，便开始在夜间俱乐部中演唱。1942年她的歌声被著名经纪人JOE CLASER发掘，安排她以Dinah Washingtong这个艺名与LIONEL HAMPTON大乐团一起演出，与乐团合作期间，她灌录了个人首张专辑，首张成名曲“EVIL GAL BLUES”便收录其中。1946年她离开乐团，开展个人的独唱事业，并以“I WANT TO BE LOVED”以及其他多首在当时被认为荒诞不经的蓝调歌曲建立个人在节奏蓝调的巨星地位。而她强烈直接的情感诉求与驾御式的舞台表现，使她的歌声不论是透过现场或录音，都同样给人强烈的印象。她说：“我喜欢找出每一个音符内在的含义，使每一个听众都能通过我的歌声听出点什么来，更何况没有什么歌是我不能唱的，什么都难不倒我。” 1946年，她与MERCURY唱片公司签下专属合同，开创了个人演唱事业的高峰，也为MERCURY公司留下无数的经典佳作。她的代表作有“JAIL HOUSE BLUES”、“POSTMAN BLUES”；1949年的“BABY GET LOST”；“I DO NOT HURT ANYMORE”；1955年的“WILLOW WEEP FOR ME”；1956年的“I'LL CLOSE MY EYES”；1959年的“WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES”这首曲子更疯狂的征服无数白人听众的心，专辑唱片并获得了当年50大唱片之一。Dinah Washingtong以独特的天赋拓展个人对不同音乐领域的表现，并与多位爵士大师象MAX ROACH、EDDIE DAVIS、CLIFFORD BROWN等人合作演出，由于她不可言喻的强烈音乐性，清晰的唱腔咬字以及完美的乐句表达，使她成为当代女爵士歌手中最具原创性与前瞻性的艺人之一。 Dinah Washingtong的艺术成就不但在当代具有开创性的地位，并深深影响了后进无数女性歌手，象NANCY WILSON、ETTA JONES、ESTHER PHILLIPS等人都深受她个人风格所影响。即使在她死后近30年，她的唱片仍旧不断透过电台的播放而传送不断。
Bright Eyes-I'm Wide Awake It's Morning(06/01/08)
Audio CD (January 25, 2005) 1. At The Bottom Of Everything - (with Jim James)
很轻松的的民谣小调，时而伤感，时而温馨 有点乡村的味道indie rock ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At 14, Oberst formed a band called Commander Venus. Their first CD, Do You Feel At Home? grabbed the attention of New York-based Grass Records (then home of Brainiac, The Wrens, New Radiant Storm King). Grass Records eventually became Wind Up records and put out Commander Venus' second full-length, The Uneventful Vacation (1997). Tim Kasher (Cursive), Matt Bowen (formerly of The Faint) and Robb Nansel (Saddle Creek) rounded out the rest of the band. Along with writing songs for Commander Venus, Oberst continued to record songs on his father's old reel-to-reel four-track. He laid down dozens of songs between the years 1995 and 1997, but none were intended for release. It wasn't long after the release of the second Commander Venus record that Oberst began focusing more of his efforts on what originally got him interested in music, acoustic-based songwriting, and less on the loud, distorted guitar styling of Commander Venus. After Commander Venus disbanded in 1997, Oberst and some friends started a new project--Park Ave.--with the intention of writing pop music. Oberst decided to learn to play drums, and Clark Baechle, the drummer from The Faint, joined up to learn how to play guitar. They asked three girlfriends to help round out the lineup on vocals, bass and keyboards. None of them knew how to play their instruments either. Park Ave. released a split 7" with The Wrens, had two songs on a Saddle Creek sampler CD, and put out a full-length of four-track recordings as well. When one of its members moved to London, Park Ave. broke up. Saddle Creek had been listening to the home four-track recordings that Oberst had been making over the past few years and decided that they wanted to release them. Oberst and friends sifted through the reels of tape and came up with 20 songs, which became the first Bright Eyes release--A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997--in 1998. Frustrated by trying to get consistent band members, Oberst decided that Bright Eyes would be the moniker for his music and whomever else he could get to play with him at the time. When it was time to record the studio full-length Letting Off The Happiness, Oberst got his friends and acquaintances together, went to Athens, and played with a bunch of people. He then released the Every Day and Every Night EP, followed by the full-length Fevers and Mirrors in 2000. In January 2001, Oberst dropped Oh Holy Fools--The Music of Son, Ambulance and Bright Eyes. A new album is expected in 2002.
January 07 The Czars - Before...But Longer(06/01/07)
Audio CD (October 16, 2001) 1. Val
各种铃类乐器创造出的朗朗上口旋律，另类而又动听。 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of them, like "Val," "Get Used to It," "What I Can Do For You" and "Leavin' on Your Mind," are wonderful, showcasing Mr. Grant's voice to its fullest, most ethereally down-to-earth advantage. But others - "Gangrene" is a pretty good example - are trying to be some kind of screaming rock music, and that is not the best genre for the Czars. Mr. Grant's voice was made to croon or whisper or sing sweetly into your ear, but not to shout. That's not to say that this isn't a good album, and a nice introduction to the Czar's work. The album as a whole is a good example of alt. country (for lack of a better genre title for this multi-talented band) at its best. I reccomend it heartily.
在他们的官方网页上，有这样的一段话 主唱深邃而优雅的独特音质更是贯系全张风格最重要的关键，低沉却不让人感到阴郁，实在是很棒的一只乐队。 同时，这支乐队还非常富有善心， $20 - a thank you on the album and a copy of it when we get them finished. $50 - a thank you on the album, an album (signed by the band), and a T-shirt $500 - a thank you on the album and guest list for all Czars' shows for life $1000 - a private Czars show．
Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing By(06/01/07)
Audio CD (November 1, 2001) 1. Knuddlemaus
一张无与伦比的旋律电子专辑， 继承了德国IDM一贯的温馨与美丽，又融入dream pop的华丽多姿 听这张的同时推荐03年那张A Strangely Isolated Place
Biography By which time Ulrich’s musical output had already become prolific with a variety of pseudonyms (most notably View to the Future and Ethereal 77) veering from ambient to drum and bass via electronica. These earlier works were soon, catching the eye of Berlin electronica label CCO who took up the story. “It came a bit of a regular thing, those anonymous packages sent to us from Berlin with a single CDR, a biro scrawl revealing at closer inspection the simple stamp \'Ethereal 77\'. Ulrich had been making music for years, producing, touring, piecing together that BIG sound. And yet each of these CDR instalments revealed something a little more personal.” Soon these submissions to CCO developed into Ulrich’s first album under his own name entitled ‘Far away Trains Passing By’ which as it slowly seeped into people’s consciousness became an electronic classic. Listeners were taken with the lush instrumentation and the emotion of the elegant, simple and beautiful music. Yet nothing was to prepare his growing army of supporters for this next record ‘A Strangely Isolated Place’ which slowly came together during 2001 into a record that really showed some of Ulrich’s youthful indie influences. His debut album under his real name established his pedigree as an outstanding electronic composer, but somehow he managed to take it further by developing his interest in songwriting for electronic music, born of his love for such giants of the independent world as My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields and Cocteau Twins’ Robin Guthrie. From this humble conception, comes forth a record of surprisingly rare emotional power. ‘A Strangely Isolated Place’ has become one of those extraordinary and rare occurrences; a genuinely word-of-mouth record slowly growing in stature by virtue of its over-riding ability to deliver more than the usual arid and academic treatises on the state of the synthesizer, or solipsistic bedsit meanderings. “When you’ve worked with computers and keyboards for a number of years, they become not so fascinating of themselves anymore. I gained in confidence after people began to discover ‘Faraway Trains…’ and it hasn’t really stopped since then. This time I decided not to compromise on what I wanted to do, with what I thought people might want me to do.” The results are an oddly retro-futurist record, which owes more to MBV’s ‘Loveless’ or Vangelis’s ‘Bladerunner’ soundtrack than Ulrich’s computer peers. It sounds all the better for it. Since the release of both albums Ulrich has been asked to work with and remix a host of artists including: Mojave 3, Longview, Johannes Schmoelling, The Zephyrs, Lunz (Rodelius) etc.

Review from Amazon Mesmerizing, April 24, 2003 Oh yeah, and one more thing, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Peter Murphy hasn't become fat, bald or prematurely geraitric over the years. He still weighs, like, 4 ounces, has a really cool haircut, and dances in a way that makes the most affected monacle-and-top hat-wearing goths cry. (Just look at the audience, it's not like they ever SHOW them!!) So, anyways, bottom line, if you're a die hard, you need it. If you're a newbie, this will get you hooked. If you're on the fence, this will tip you over. If you're--wait, what was I talking about again? Oh yeah, just buy the freaking thing. ...
January 05 Brendan Perry - Eye Of The Hunter(06/01/05)
Audio CD (October 5, 1999)
n年前还是高中时候，我跟伍德斯多克人说：有没有打击乐？ 立刻给我拿来一张dead can dance，当时拿回家贼听不惯于是拿去换去了。。。。 其时候后来还是听不惯，也许太N了不适合我呵呵 这个团虽说是dcd的元老闹得，不过风格感觉完全不同，基本是民谣 带些哥特式是铺垫，一些异国乡间情调的旋律。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review from Amazon farewell to saturday's child, cut loose before his time, November 5, 2003 I'm sure Lisa Gerrard's solo projects are worth checking out, but I think Brendan's solo record is phenomenal. Biography 一男一女两位一体的Dead Can Dance组合的男性成员Brendan Perry刚刚在4AD旗下推出一张个人专辑。Dead Can Dance向来是有合有分，而两位成员均有个人专辑问世。
在很多人眼里，Dead Can Dance是4AD之音最富吸引力的组成部分，她不仅深得爱好另类音乐的朋友们的喜爱，同时也在很大程度上改变了那些原本并不喜欢另类音乐的人对另类音乐的不良看法。卓尔不群的格调、新古典主义唯美趣味、浓郁的宗教和神秘主义氛围、如梦似幻的“仙气”，Dead Can Dance的确非同凡响。 Dead Can Dance的所有歌曲除了小部分两人合唱和一部分纯音乐作品之外，大部分都是由女主音Lisa Gerard和男主音Brendan Perry分别唱出的。说来有趣，两人的演唱感觉颇不相同，Lisa Gerard嗓音高亢，乐风虚幻缥缈很神秘，“仙气”很重；而Brendan Perry嗓音低回沉郁，醇厚中透出浓郁的苍凉感。两人的演唱风格在Dead Can Dance的音乐中一直平行不悖地并存着，但“貌离神合”，从未给Dead Can Dance的音乐带来明显的分裂感。
Brendan Perry的演唱绝对是需要静下心来才可欣赏的，当然，再虚浮焦躁的人听了Brendan Perry的演唱也会很快静下心来洗耳恭听的，并且被他的强烈磁性所深深吸引。
“Voyage Of Bran”是个缓缓道来的童话，却潜藏着劝谕的哲理。“Medusa”是西洋神话中的蛇发女妖，这类神话题材的歌曲是比较罕见的，“我心如铁”的那份孤寂更具杀伤力。“Sloth”的那份慵懒其实是种无奈，“I Must Have Been Blind”中的那份祈求，似乎也有无奈。 “Death Will Be My Bride”这类有着浓郁的神秘主义和死亡意味的曲子原本也是Dead Can Dance所擅长的，但Brendan Perry的那份悲凉和阴森让人觉得心怕，不忍卒听。“Archangel”这类主题也常出现在Dead Can Dance的歌中，只是Brendan Perry很少有机会唱这类适合Lisa Gerard演绎的题材。当然，Breadan演绎的“Archangel”也是无可挑剔，唱了真嗓又唱了假嗓，落足了心力。 Brendan Perry的这张个人专辑和Lisa Gerard的个人专辑一样，都是Dead Can Dance音乐的延续，但相比较而言，Brendan Perry个人变化稍大一些。
January 04 Bleeding Like Mine-Never again will i dream(06/01/04)
I got nothing to say,enjoy it. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Biography Bleeding Like Mine：一支来自美国的darkwave组合。乐队固定成员主要为Curt Emmer，Holly Emmer， Hugues Dammarie.。非固定成员有Michael Rush、Gil Petrovic、Erik Gosnell、IanWickramasekera。 乐队首次发行demo作品是1993年。94年Projekt公司发行了Of These Reminders的致敬双CD，里面收录的全是当时新晋的darkwave/darkambient乐队/乐手重新演绎Black Tape for a Blue Girl作品，包括后来为大家所熟知的LSD，Stoa。专辑内BLM翻唱的作品是Into the garden以及和Sam Rosenthal合作的Seireenien lumoama其后BLM离开Projekt转投意大利Palace of Worms旗下。在POW，BLM的才华得到了充份的发挥与肯定。 其后在POW的集锦CD Palace of Worms中，BLM发表了他们在POW的第一首作品And as The Ashes Settle。 1997年，他们首张大碟In the Eyes of Lovelost正式公开发行。同年应Thomas Wacker所在的Black Maginze之邀，加入了其策划的Arborlon Music限量发行的一张Industrial & Gothic 合辑2CD ‘The Dark Ages’，神话，魔鬼，宗教法庭，仪式，上帝，幽灵，恐惧，巫术，等等在该专辑内被音乐的形式冰冷地阐述和延续。BLM在此的作品为该专辑的第一首Israfel(天使) 。
Review form POW
2001 POW 漫长等待带来这异常孤寂的新古典室内乐，哀伤已经渗入骨髓。我常常将它与BLACK TAPE的新专辑The Scavenger Bride一起聆听，二者气质十分近似。管弦乐迟缓悠长的旋律衬着悲痛的独唱，特邀主唱Hugues Dammarie(O Quam Tristis...) 低沉嗓音的加入令这张新作比前作更加细腻感人，使得我更愿意将它们称之为倾诉。许多未命名歌曲的出现明显沿袭古典作品中无标题乐章的惯例，其感染力与正统古典作品相比也确实毫不逊色。不一一描述专辑中的作品了，你所需要的只是在寒冬的夜晚独自聆听，一遍一遍.... 生命与爱在这里凝结成冰晶，在月光映照下折射出脆弱的光华。
Sarah Vaughn - Vaughan and Violins(06/01/04)
Audio CD (February 4, 2003) 1. Please Be Kind
浑厚的嗓音，宽广的音域 除了人声，具有雷鬼情调的伴奏也颇有味道。 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biography 爵士乐的许多位名家都是很早就开始接触音乐,其中有不少人又是在教堂开始其音乐生涯,Sarah亦不例外.在很小的时候,生就一付好嗓子的她就加入了教堂的唱诗班,那时她还是一个小女孩,在锡安山洗礼教堂的合唱团中演唱.在12岁时,她成为了一位年轻的风琴演奏者. 1942年,在著名的”阿波罗之夜业余天才歌手竞赛”中,Sarah赢得了大奖.次年四月,Sarah进入爵士乐坛,加入了Earl Hines乐队，担任第二钢琴手和歌手，1944年，比莉·克斯泰因离开了海恩斯，组建了自己的乐队，Sarah为拉自己的前途，毫不犹豫地离开拉海恩斯，在厄克斯泰因的乐队中找到了自己位置和足够的发挥空间，十二月底，Sarah录制了自己的处女作《一次又一次》，虽然现在看来，这张唱片中Sarah的演唱还不成熟，还不能象后来那样富于感染力，但足可以窥见她早期的动人丰采。 Sarah是一位个性很强的歌手，在一生大部分时间，她都独自闯荡。1945年和1946年，她除了和科尔比短期合作之外，都是自己单干。这个时期，她还没有把主要精力放在爵士乐的演唱上，虽然她也唱拉很多爵士歌曲，但真正让她出名的却是流行民谣，厄尔斯泰恩是她经常性的搭档，两人的二重奏非常默契，，在五十年代中期录制的欧文。柏林保留曲目极为出色，在早期，Sarah就已经显示出在爵士乐方面的才能，在1945年与迪兹。吉莱斯皮和查理。帕克两位大师录制了《情郎》引人注目的版本。 1954年，Sarah从哥伦比亚唱片公司转投水星唱片公司。在新的合作公司中，她获得了制作轻快的流行乐和正统的爵士乐的自主权。这一直是她梦寐以求的权力，这使她得以发挥出巨大的潜力。她录制的爵士乐是和伊姆阿西唱片公司合作完成的，与她搭档的是克林福德。布朗，卡努博。阿德雷，以及贝西伯爵的伴奏乐队。合作大大丰富了她的歌路，显示出她的多样的风格，与此同时，她为水星唱片公司录制的流行曲也取得了成功，其中包括了她1958年录制的轰动性的歌曲《伤心旋律》。
进入八十年代，Sarah的健康每况愈下，她凭借坚强的意志，坚持演出。1982年，她与洛衫矶交响乐团录制了格什温作品集，1985年，她在基恩·里斯·爵士字母唱片公司录制了一张非常有趣的唱片，名为《行星仍然健在，是的，它还活着》，其中的歌词是里斯改编自教皇是约翰。保罗二世的诗歌，而曲子是由蒂托·范托纳和圣·帕隆伯创作的，该唱片公特色极其的鲜明，主唱自然是Sarah，而伴奏者是有一些退休的爵士音乐家组成的管弦乐队，如阿特·法尔默, 本尼·拜利和萨义布·萨哈布。在1990年，Sarah去世时，全世界的爵士乐爱好者都为这位女歌手感到惋惜和怀念，她的唱片多次再版。从四十年代早期的作品到八十年代的晚期作品都有问世，其中如水星唱片公司编辑了她的水星时代的全集，可以让当代的爵士乐迷回味Sarah的昔日风采。

The first album "Nighttime Nightrhymes", with the hit 'Raven Chant' was directly a succes. The follow-up album, as well as several vinyl singles on Hau Ruck! and Eis & Licht, further enhanced the popularity of the band. OTWATM makes a classic type of neo-folk, reminding of old Death in June, combined with electronic ambient elements, and inspired by Nordic mythology, runic magic and northern atmospheres. The band is also very convincing and atmospheric on stage. Kim Larsen is furthermore active in the dark ambient project Unveiled and the gothic rock band The Loveless. Review by 瘸腿蚂蚁
有关新民谣,引用黑放一位朋友话：“在某天的夜晚突然觉得自己深深迷上Neo-Folk——一种温柔的毒药。比起硬式的Dark-Metal，更喜欢这种黑夜里的吟唱，发自内心的孤独声音。总让人联想起森林、黑夜、孤独的背影、细腻柔和的吉他和寂寞的旋律。像含羞草在黑夜里淡淡的的开放，带着点自恋，不善表达。散发出微微的清香，吸引着听着，温柔的触摸着听者的悲伤。” January 01 Issuence of V.A(Jan 1th 2006)

的意識形態,Sophia這一個極之普通的女性名字,在Peter Petterson的字典裡卻擁有著咄咄逼人的氣勢,以 Ambient為主的Sophia繼上次以精神病為題的<The Seduction of madness>之後,這張<Spite>卻明顯地傾向 Industrial,工業元素在這張<Spite>大大得到了提升,強勁的打鐡式節奏,隆隆的機器作響,加上一段段Sophia獨 有的深暗旋律,<Spite>這張唱片表現了一個黑暗工業時代,聆聽這張唱片後,就像中了工業毒一樣,工業毒素 就像細菌一樣活躍在血液中,所以我給他的診斷是Industrial Septicaemia!~
Review: Otto Carius The output of Peter Pettersson (also of the nom de plumes Arcana and Victoria) in 2002 has been somewhat amazing. The man has done a new single for Arcana and now two releases from his martial project known as Sophia. This newest full-length from the heir to In Slaughter Native's throne threw me when I first heard it. That quickly changed, however, once I understood the concept: we deserve nothing more than the worst we receive. PETER MARKS
December 29 Patricia Kaas - Piano Bar(05/12/29)
Audio CD (June 11, 2002) 1. My Man
算是一张比较恬静的流行，优雅中带着伤感 纤细地旋律流淌在缓缓节奏中 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Biography ZT Review _Piano Bar_ is inspired by music in Patricia Kaas's much-publicized film debut _And Now ... Ladies and Gentlemen_, where she shares billing with Jeremy Irons, but while not an official soundtrack (as far as I can tell) it does show a couple of stills from the film. The songs are all by French writers, sung in English for the most part (but a couple are in French or both languages), and for some of them the original lyrics are in English. The original language of the song has no connection with the language chosen for the album: "My man" and "I wish you love" and "What now my love" sung in well-known English translations, while "La mer" with an equally popular English version is sung in French, and "The Windmills of your mind" here presented as "Les Moulins de mon cœur," etc. The only rarity is the sultry and alluring "Syracuse," along with the song composed for the film. _Piano Bar_ is decidedly low-key, but a much more daring album than might appear at first. For her first English effort she is not going with the strong sound that's made her an icon, she's going with an idiom where the concentration is going to be on the words and where her deficiencies in English are going to be more exposed, and she's presenting material that is known even to Americans otherwise unfamiliar with French music. ... I think this album is a solid success, and in fact I had a more immediate positive reaction than I've had to any album other than _Dans ma chair_. In a way it's going back to her roots: the milieu she conjures up in many of her songs-"Je te dis vous," "L'heure du jazz,"-and here in the theme song "And now ... ladies and gentlemen." The tone is most reminiscent of the mellower side of "Scène de vie" -- "Cœuers brisés" and "L'heure du jazz." The arrangements are subtle yet advanced, with flavors of acid jazz ("I wish you love") and hints of hip-hop (remix of "If You Go Away," including sampling sounds). She takes advantage of production enhancements but not obtrusively or to the detriment of the music (even layering her voice in a couple of places, which I haven't heard her do elsewhere). She handles expertly the harmonic modulations on which many of these songs' impact rests. Her English is better than in the past, although in many cases you can hear her shaping a phrase the way it would be with the original French lyrics ("If you go away," "Yesterday when I was young"). In some cases I question the selections: Do "The Summer knows" and particularly "Where do I begin" really have anything to do with the piano bar tradition she says she wants to rehabilitate in the liner note? The French lyrics of "The Windmills of your mind" are fine as a curiosity (Jessye Norman also sings them on her Legrand album _I Was Born in Love with You_) but really not as good as the original English. ... "My man" is once again sanitized of the lines about "sometimes he beats me." In fact, only the refrain is used, and the verse elliptically hummed at the beginning except for the line "but I love him"-sort of neat, in a way, eliminating all the verses not just the disturbing one: "yadda, yadda, yadda, but I love him." ... Mlle Kaas deserves much better production values! Highlights are the haunting "If you go away." "Un homme et une femme" will be instantly recognizable as an instrumental movie theme, and I was previously unaware of a vocal life beyond that. "The summer knows" is sensuous and jazzy. The classic "I wish you love" (by Charles Trenet) is decked out in funky modern attire, an improvement on her version on the album Black Coffee (an English-language sortie that was pulled from released). "Autumn Leaves" sounds like Jobim here, very attractive. And "La mer" (again by Trenet) is the epitome of mellow, cool, finger-snapping jazz-not in the exuberant swinging style of Bobby Darin's cover ("Beyond the Sea") but perhaps with an appreciative wink toward it. Several of the songs include a line or a verse delivered (sometimes parlando) in French, which with her natural delivery does not come as an affectation. The one strike against this album is the inclusion of the Theme from Love Story ("Where do I begin"). It may be of fleeting interest to learn of the French connection, but the song is terminally dreary and though tacked onto a rhythmic bass the rendition adds nothing to the song's appeal or reputation. It's probably crotchety of me to subtract a star from my rating for this, but since in tone it's so close to the rest of the album it doesn't even offend enough to be rejected outright, instead it goes down easy and winds up leaving a sour aftertaste. If you're looking for My man like Streisand, Love Story like Bassy, La mer like Darrin ... yes, you may be disappointed. I didn't miss those particularly, still to me the definitive "Windmills" is Dusty Springfield's inimitable psychedelic version. Even if you don't love Piano Bar at first listen as I did, it's an album that will grow on you with the right mood and circumstances.
