这是中国第一支纯正的Post-Rock乐队,成立于1998年。这张专辑中的歌曲其中一半儿都是乐队比较早期的作品,歌曲的框架结构比较简单,稍有些Post Punk的味道。
整个专辑的歌曲显得风格不是很统一,惘闻的音乐就那么容易的让忧伤也迷茫了,在阳光下开始害怕影子的出现,古老的砖墙和街道,你潜存的善良的幻想或者无知的幼稚,理想下的信念,面对现实的怯懦。你会被自己审问,这一切还有意义?或者这意义都没意义。如果非得定义乐队的风格,他应该是一种介于Post Rock(不是Post Punk)和Progressive Rock之间的东西。
专辑里,那首《垂死的岁末》很有意思,音乐编排和歌词都不错。
The band was formed in the city of Dalian, a busy seaport in northeast china, in the year of 1999. Wangwen was at first started by two awkward (at that time!) guitarists who were crazy about The Smashing Pumpkins and later joined by the drummer who also brought along the band name, representing the idea of an unknown band and insensibility to what others say. The band began to record their first demo- ’the animal world’ on their own in the same year they formed. Since then the band members had been changing while continuous creation of new pieces of music and performing. ‘lingshuihe’(‘the IceWaterRiver’) was recorded on their own in 2000 and the third demo ‘the Tenebrous Yinyang Road’ was also completed two years later. During this period the music style of the band had been gradually changing from vocal to instrumental and started to draw broad attentions both from the reviews and the audience as well. It was considered as one of the leading bands from China in the fields of post-rock and acid rock. The band was influenced by: Mogwai, Red Red Meat, Mono, Explosion in the Sky, Polvo, Tortois–GYBE, etc.
