艺人介绍
Morcheeba是当年Trip-Hop热潮席卷全球时的核心力量，虽然他们在音乐的开拓上远不如冷到骨髓的Massive Attack、黑到恐惧的Tricky和诡到迷离的Portishead那么具有革命与实验精神，但倒也通过法式香颂般的节拍和华丽音色的堆积，在Trip-Hop世界的三驾马车的包围圈中杀出了一条雅俗共赏的血路。2005年，已然功成名就的Morcheeba在事隔三年后又推出了他们的新专辑，这一次他们不但加盟了“Echo”这个新东家，更是在改换了新主唱后，被迫的呈现出了一种新的摸法。
对于一支如此成功的乐队来讲，换主唱可是非同儿戏的大事件，做为乐队最感性、最直观的标志，就算是在现代乐队中起重要作用的吉它手也只能自叹不如，你能够想像没有了Dolores O’Riordan的The Cranberries会是怎么样吗？你能想像失去Bono的U2又会是什么样吗？你还能设想一下，如果没有大嘴的Mike Jagger，The Rolling Stone还能叫The Rolling Stone吗？而当堪称Morcheeba绮丽梦幻乐风标志的Skye Edwards为了继续她的solo事业而离开乐队后，Godfrey兄弟自然不敢怠慢，紧急搬来的救兵——前Noonday Underground乐队的主唱Daisy Martey显然还是以Skye Edwards为原型寻找的，以至于消息不灵或者听觉不够尖锐的乐迷在聆听这张新专辑时，还以为依然是Skye Edwards在话筒前放声。
The most groove-oriented act in the mid-'90s female-fronted electronica crowd, Morcheeba relies on the sweet, fluid vocals of Skye Edwards and a laid-back mix of fusion, funk, and blues produced by brothers Paul and Ross Godfrey, on beats/scratches and guitar/keyboards, respectively. The trio was formed in 1995 when the Godfreys decided to go out on their own after co-producing six tracks for David Byrne's album Feelings. They submitted several tapes of their instrumental demos to labels around London, but received little interest in return. After hooking up with vocalist Edwards at a party, however, their music began to gel and Morcheeba signed to the China label. After the release of two EPs (Trigger Hippie and Music That We Hear), the trio issued their debut album, Who Can You Trust? It appeared on the American Discovery label in late 1996, and Morcheeba toured the U.S. with Live and Fiona Apple the following year. Big Calm followed in 1998 and Fragments of Freedom was released two years later. Charango appeared in 2002 and featured guest appearances from Lambchop's Kurt Wagner and rapper Slick Rick. A year later, the greatest hits collection Parts of the Process was released and Skye Edwards left the band. Former Noonday Underground vocalist Daisy Martey joined the group for 2005's The Antidote, a more acoustic album that mixed psychedelia with Burt Bacharach-styled pop.
热门评论
- @super mia：哈哈哈哈哈 这译名！！笑哭~
- @volid：我想到还有一个乐队的译名也很糟糕的，Keane（基音）
- @T：这个名字吧。。。总觉得要摸不该摸的地方呢~~~
- @时移音律改：如果说Massive Attack是冷到骨髓的，Tricky是黑到恐惧的，Portishead是诡到迷离的。那么Morcheeba则是自由得不肯媚俗的。其音乐downtempo强调层叠的鼓击，downbeat强调低缓的节奏，因为慢和低调，其迷人韵味并不能符合商业流行的习惯。
