FM 90.1【言樂坊】

台灣最優美與低調並陳的獨立搖滾樂團。

當你抬頭望向遙遠的天際，你知道天空很大、太陽很高，站在遼闊的草地上冥想自己與地球圓周間的距離—如同下著雨的天空，伸出手掌感覺到它的潮溼與溫度。雖然天空依舊是遙不可及，可是你卻能撫摸到到它情緒。不到一公分的微小細膩，可是呼吸到的卻是大片藍天的氧。

8mm Sky，形容他們的音樂～就像"夏天的午後突然打雷"吧！從早期的Walking in the sun, song 1, the Sound Before Christmas到最近的新歌讓人由yo la tengo,18th dye,及天空爆炸的影像聯想，吉他爆炸減少了！取而代之的是愈來愈內斂的音符堆疊。2002年4月成軍，除了在聖界、地社外，也在夏夏叫、噗雌頌、 野台、春天吶喊等活動參與演出，同年十一月，受邀擔任Explosions in the sky暖場團。2005年受邀擔任múm暖場團。

正式發表的the sound before Christmas和Daylite running necessary兩首歌曲，分別收入在蘿蔔一號(WWR,2003) 和電、棒、燙(Avex,2004) 之中；2002年十二月發行現場表演（天空爆炸暖場）VCD限量50張，現已絕版。

Traveling to exhibitions in foreign countries and selling their work on a booming international market, Chinese contemporary artists are ideally positioned to observe the global impact of China’s economic revolution. At the same time, more and more international artists are making and showing work in China.

The artists in this exhibition use the tools of manufacturing and mass media to make art works that offer poetic reflections and humorous comments on our rapidly changing world. They remind us that behind the business and political headlines lies an economy of cultural exchange, from cooking to clothing to cell phone communication, that marks the personal, human side of globalisation, transforming the way we see ourselves and the world around us.

原本沒有介紹這隊本地 Post Rock 樂團的念頭,但因網友快樂牛郎最近問起,覺得有必要在這裡向各位作一個簡單的介紹及推薦.

記得自己第一次是在2004年尾在電臺聽到 Precious Fathers 的作品,一聽之下便喜歡上他們那節奏輕快旋律交錯的曲調. 自從去年看見他們為 Album Leaf 暖場,閣下便對他們的現場演出留下深刻的印像. 事實上, Precious Fathers 來頭真的不小. 四位成員來自多隊知名本地樂團例如: Destroyer, Loscil, The Battles, Sparrow, & Pink Mountaintops. 絕對值得一聽.



"Precious Fathers" (2005) Tracklist:

1. Prarie Train
2. Upset Frankie-Hustle
3. Gallant Foot
4. Past It Pastures
5. Snowshoes
6. Ant and the Pea
7. Red Norvo
8. Get All The Ribbons and Bring Them Back Here
9. Purple Mint

hm... 在3月24日那天,我將會有兩個選擇. 一,我可以花 C$39.50 + Tax 去看 Stuart Murdoch 與 Belle & Sebastian 一行十多人在 Commodore Ballroom 演出. 二,我可以花 C$13 + Tax 去 Richard's on Richard 看這隊來自挪威的 Shoegazing 樂團 Serena Maneesh. 有點不知所措... 我看這是時侯練習我的分身術 lor.



"Serena Maneesh" (2005) Tracklist:

1. Drain Cosmetics
2. Selina' s Melodie Fountain
3. Un-Deux
4. Candlelighted
5. Beehiver II

周圣安(大提琴), 李佳(鼓/打击乐), 林笛(主唱/键盘/琵琶), 宋建丰(吉他), 苏勇(贝斯)

最近奇怪地從一套名為 China Rises 的 CBC 記錄片中得知這隊以中西合壁音樂元素見青的上海樂團. 一聽到主音林笛用手上琵琶奏出的旋律便認定他們是我下一個要研究的目標. 到目前為止,冷酷仙境已分別在默契及風潮唱片發行過四張專輯. 最新一張於2005年由半度音樂出版發行.



「魔境十日」(2005) Tracklist:

1. 诱惑之舞
2. 忏悔日
3. 福地
4. 手心里绝望的花
5. 绿草原深处的黄昏
6. 奴隶们
