专辑介绍

DJ Kicks系列作为全球首席缓拍厂牌Studio K7!旗下的王牌专辑，拥有极高的人气，自九十年代初Studio K7厂牌成立后，专职于缓拍音乐，吹泡泡音乐方面的发展，并在95年由比利时Techno天皇CJ Bolland完成了第一张DJ Kicks制作，收到极高的欢迎，此系列由此发展直至今天。

2004年在Studio K7的邀请下，Trip Hop铁三角之一的Massive Attack(大举进攻)成员Grant Marshall化名Daddy G，为DJ Kicks完成一集制作。除了在专辑中选取大量Trip Hop本色作品，还包揽了当时颇为盛行的Leftfield概念的电音类型，并用Dub化手法加以切磨，成为DJ Kicks系列罕见的旋律佳作。 ————以上是电板鸭TX的原创文字，特此鸣谢！

Massive Attack素有Trip-Hop Heroes/Trip-Hop Gods之称的同时代最具革命性和影响力的乐队之一Massive Attack。虽然成名于九十年代，但他们的历史可以追溯到1983年，从1987年正式成立到第一张专辑的问世就花了近3年的时间，他们的音乐创作一向以严肃而着称，但听觉上却并不拒人于千里；催眠般的音效、黑暗而性感、将hip-hop节奏、灵歌的旋律、dub和采样以一种电影剪辑的方式融合在一起，流派可以跨越punk、reggae和R&B，这种自由的新兴的形式使他们迅速成为Bristol club中‘不可错过的事件’，而后Trip-Hop潮流中的领军乐队都曾受益于Massive Attack的启示。

不过Massive Attack的成功还要归因于那些表现精湛的客座歌手，包括：70年代就已负盛名的牙买加reggae歌手Horace Andy、Everything but the Girl的Tracey Thorn、Cocteau Twins的Elizabeth Fraser和solo歌手Sinead O'Connor等等。

Massive Attack 的三位成员都颇具个性：年纪最长的 Daddy G 具有大量的唱片收藏，为乐队的音乐创作提供 Sample；而 3D 则是一名颇有些名气的涂鸦艺术家，曾经展出过自己的画展，自然负责起乐队的写词和美术设计的工作；Mushroom 是最少言寡语的一位，负责乐队的音乐制作。在音乐的创作上，他们综合了各个领域的音乐风格及元素，从 Punk 到 Reggae、R&B 都无所不能。

After a decade and a half, Daddy G finally stepped out of the shadow of Massive Attack for his solo debut release, a mix album entry in the long-running DJ-Kicks series. It's a good move for G. He's ensured plenty of exposure with this release, given the high-quality reputation of the series, and it gives him a chance to showcase whatever sort of personal style he brought to Massive Attack. Judging by this 17-track mix, his personal style is a fairly eclectic one, as his mix veers all over the place yet surprisingly flows quite well. There's a particular emphasis on reggae, which serves as the backbone of the mix. Occasionally G veers off into something unexpected, such as when he drops the Meters' "Just Kissed My Baby" or Foxy Brown's "Oh Yeah," but for the most part, his selections are either straight-up reggae or only a few degrees removed. Examples of the latter include dubby trip-hop tracks like Melaaz's "Non Non Non," Tricky's "Aftermath," Leftfield's "Inspection/Check One," and Massive Attack's "I Against I" -- none of which are far removed from reggae, at least as far as beat-making goes. In addition to "I Against I," with its standout Mos Def feature, there are a few other Massive Attack inclusions: a pair of typically claustrophobic remixes -- of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's "Mustt Mustt" and les Négresses Vertes' "Face a la Mer" -- and the vintage breakbeat-driven "Perfecto Mix" of "Unfinished Symphony," which closes the album on a high note. Practically every track here is a highlight, with Danny Krivit's edit of Aretha Franklin's "Rock Steady" perhaps being worth the price of admission alone and the opening "Armagideon Time" being a particular joy for anyone familiar with the Clash's B-side cover. Yet another standout mix in the DJ-Kicks series this release is. If you're a Massive Attack fan, you're sure to love this, and even if you're not but simply enjoy creative, well-done mixes with personal flair, there's a good chance you'll find much to enjoy here.
