[Advance Version, 资源来自网络]

注意: GIAA 官方网站已经开始提供付费下载. MP3专辑标价USD$8(仅是CD价格的一半), 320kbps音质, 最主要是: DRM Free!

[ 非主流音乐篇 ]

得益于MySpace, Last.FM和blog…等新兴的网络交流渠道, 乐队和听众的距离大大拉近 — 常是乐队在网络上放出新demo, 随即便会有热心的乐迷通过网络向朋友推荐, 进而让这支乐队走红起来; 成名有时甚至不需要发行物理形式的唱片(之后被唱片公司看中签约是另一回事).
谁还断言MP3的普及会扼杀音乐呢? 无远弗届的网络传播对’界限’的冲击着实不小.
2006年, 拜网络力量所赐, 听觉全面投入post-rock怀抱.

(照旧: 排名不分前后左右)

My Top 10 Album of 2006

1. Mono “Are You There”
2. Mogwai “Mr. Beast”
3. EF “Give Me Beauty…Or Give Me Death”
4. Russian Circles “Enter”
5. God Is An Astronaut “A Moment of Stillness”
6. This Will Destory You “Young Mountain”
7. Red Sparowes “Every Red Heart Shines Toward The Red Sun”
8. Lights Out Asia “Garmonia”
9. TE’ “If that is what is being thought, liberated sound talks the depth of ‘musical’ world”
10. When They Know You They Will Run “When They Know You They Will Run“

Notes:
[1][2] 后摇界才人辈出, 真可怜我等听碟如流水一般…当然, 今年我最喜欢的始终还是Mono 和Mogwai 这两个大牌(EITS的新专要等到明年才能总结咯^^). 前者的起伏跌宕的暴力诗篇尤其让我着迷.
[3] 瑞典新锐EF以苍凉的旋律冲进本人的十大, 曲风鲜明亮丽, 慢热. (Download)
[4] “Enter” 在我看来是一张带王者风范的专集, Russian Circles这支芝加哥乐队内力确实深厚.
[5] 上帝是太空人(GIAA) 这张保持了一贯的水准, 可惜缺了点新鲜感, 下一年要加把劲.
[6] 见前文介绍 (Download)
[7] Red Sparowes这张红当当的专集以中国大跃进为主题, 很得箇中三味; 就算有点造作又如何? 浮夸无罪, 好听有理. (Download)
[8] Lights Out Asia这支由前Aurore Rien成员组成的乐队也很让人惊艳, 不能错过. (Download)
[9] 日本乐队Te’, 他们的曲名长得可怕, 音乐倒也暴躁得可爱, 旋律偶有让人意想不到之处, 感觉和来自同一国度的Mono完全不一样. (Download)
[10] 他们还没发行唱片(这次被选上的不过是Demo, 新鲜劲还没过…) , 虽然摹仿EITS的痕迹过于明显, 但难保他们不会有青出于蓝的一天… 见前文介绍 (Download)

…其实不能错过的好专集实在太多了, 可惜, 十大只能有’十大’.

PS. 前几天去书店看杂志时猛然发现, 像Q一类的排行榜中的歌我竟然一张都没听过! 自己与如今年轻人的兴趣差异竟然有这么大么? =.= 有点郁闷

Anyway, 几支最近迷上的乐队都出新碟了…
同时更新到本人的radio

Mono: You Are There

他们的音乐更加神经质了…

封面上 那山 那树林
和昨晚梦里的几乎一模一样
还记得我是如何拿着纸笔徘徊在黑暗的林中, 并临摹着眼前的风景
i was there
也许是心理暗示的一种罢…

Pillow: Flowing Seasons

后摇乐队是不是都和Radiohead有一腿, 不然怎么连Pillow都开始有Thom的影子…诡异(不信去听一听Cut-out-and-keep Quarrels) 人声的成份多了, 和第一张比起来感觉像换了人似的. 其实这也未必是坏事.

-

God Is An Astronaut: A Moment of Stillness

一般, 只属暖场之作…不过还是很好听
期待下一张正式大碟

-

Ctrlaltdelete: Mondegreens

名字怪怪的 (Ctrl-alt-delete ^^), 英国的新後摇团体

-

Subtract by Two: Agoniser Ecrire

这张2005年的EP也不错, 光看封面就值得收下: 平静宁和的欧洲风景 + lomo style
