专辑介绍

Jens Gad的这张《Le Spa Sonique》被众多New Age、电声音乐和Chill Out音乐的爱好者认为是2006年不容错过的专辑(Jens Gad还于此专辑稍后时间发布了另外一张《Enigmatic Obsession - Secrets Of Seduction 沉迷—诱惑的秘密》)。这位Enigma的成员之一将Enigma那闻名世界的节奏感引入一个新的领域,用几乎纯粹的电音来表达着他的音乐理念。

《Le Spa Sonique》中的11首音乐所包含的元素虽然不及Enigma系列的来得丰富多采,但单一就电声的表现来说,绝对是顶尖之作。而Jens Gad熟悉的吉他编曲技巧在专辑中也发挥得淋漓尽致,无论是作为主旋律还是背景的配器,出现时总是让人有惊艳的感觉。偶尔出现的女声,无论是演唱还是吟诵,都恰倒好处。

In the early '90s, a band called Enigma made an international name for itself by combining laid-back club beats, Gregorian chant, and whispered French sex talk into a massive dance music hit called "Sadeness." Founding member Jens Gad is working on his own 15 years later, exploring a more specifically meditational mode. Le Spa Sonique offers exactly what its name implies: smooth, soothing music designed to help you relax and "experience your own personal spa retreat." Gad is no goopy new age hack, at least not most of the time: his beats may be gentle, but if you listen closely they're fairly complex, and there are clear hints of a sharp musical intellect buried in the cottony softness. Notice, for example, the heavily distorted vocal that brings a welcome edge to "Navajo," and the beautifully arranged female vocals that are layered lusciously throughout "Cape Blanc." On the other hand, he's also not completely immune to the call of goopiness, as the saccharine faux-choral passages on "Glass Palace" make clear. Overall, though, Le Spa Sonique does a good job of balancing the purely utilitarian requirements of meditational music with the more visceral attractions of pop music. Recommended.
