在上世纪九十年代风靡一时的英式摇滚乐队Suede(山羊皮)于今年重组,在参加了几场慈善演出之后,乐队在11月1日发行了一张精选集。这张名为《Suede: The Best Of》的单曲集共分为两张CD,其中将收录山羊皮乐队历年以来热门金曲的重新缩混版。
这次的精选集将由Chris Potter(克里斯-波特)操刀负责重新缩混,山羊皮乐队主唱Brett Anderson(布莱特-安德森)和前吉他手Bernard Butler(伯纳德-巴特勒)则一同参与母带处理。
吉他手伯纳德-巴特勒在1994年离开了山羊皮乐队。直到山羊皮解散之后的2005年,他才与主唱布莱特-安德森重修旧好,并组建了一支名为The Tears(眼泪)的乐队。近日,两人因出版精选集而再度联手合作。主唱安德森对媒体表示,虽然吉他手伯纳德在离开山羊皮乐队时他们关系非常糟糕,但近日两人的合作依然带来了那段时光中的快乐回忆。安德森说到:“最近我们在一起工作了很久,主要是为了这张精选集的母带处理环节。这是件非常有意思的事情,我和伯纳德有将近20年的时间没有聚在一起听山羊皮乐队的歌了。”
“听着那些我们共同创作的歌曲,这勾起了我们很多快乐的回忆。”安德森补充说到。“我们坐在一起听1992年的那首《The Drowners》,我们突然想起最后一次合作这首歌还是在1991年的时候。尽管后来他离开了山羊皮乐队,但在一起的那段时光却让我们彼此终生难忘。”
随着这张精选集的出版,山羊皮乐队还会进行一系列相关宣传活动。在接下来的12月7日,山羊皮将在英国伦敦的02体育场进行一场回归演出。
2010 two CD collection from the Britpop band led by vocalist Brett Anderson and featuring guitarist Bernard Butler, now a renowned producer. Features all of Suede's biggest hits showcasing the group's early material with outstanding new production. This is the only Suede hits compilation that has been endorsed by the band. During the band's early years, they effectively instigated a new focus on British guitar music which had been largely eclipsed by Grunge before their emergence. Their inexorable rise saw them become one of the biggest groups in the country, a success which was replicated in many countries around the world. In 1999, after five studio albums, the group split. They returned triumphantly in March this year, playing three incredible and critically acclaimed shows including London's Royal Albert Hall in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust. The shows were hailed as a career high.
