专辑介绍
很难形容第一次听到它的感受,前奏似某种低音弦乐器的弹拨有着Portishead和Goldfrapp的悬疑情结;渐起的
Koop般的爵士打击贯穿全曲,后段层层叠叠的弦乐又仿佛从房梁垂下的红纱在空中舞动着。
Arkestra One是ESL厂牌下的签约艺人(巴西二人组“盗窃集团”创办)。主脑人物是Matthew Timoney,主唱是
来自巴西-英国混血女歌手Nina Miranda,她原本是Trip-Hop组合Somke City的女主音。她的Vocal是一种极致的
曼妙,可以依照心情赋予不同的单色,漂染附着于飘动的缎带,如烟雾缭绕。
by John Bush
With its heavy Brazilian focus and lazy-day atmospheres, it's not difficult to see why Arkestra One's debut LP was picked up by ESL, the breakbeat label run by Thievery Corp. boardmembers Eric Hilton and Rob Garza. Surprisingly, though, producer Matthew Timoney outdoes Thievery themselves (who are prized more as taste-makers and DJs than producers) by turning in an imaginative spin on the oft-heard fusion of Brazilian music and trip-hop. Accompanying him on most tracks is Smoke City singer Nina Miranda, who is half-Brazilian, half-English and not only turns in a solid impression of the naïvely romantic Astrud Gilberto for "I Really Want You" and "How Could I Love You More," but shows her range by scatting along on a bright samba piece, "Train to Machupichu." Timoney is really the one holding it all together, though, evoking the simple pleasures of a mid-'60s production by Marcos Valle or Sergio Mendes on "Filling It With Sound"; constructing a slinky Portishead backing for the highlight "Seu Paraiso"; and gracefully turning the production around on "Shine," which exits with an eerie back-masked portion of the song itself.
