艺人介绍
1977-1978年，一支叫做Crime & The City Solution的乐队开始活跃在悉尼，墨尔本一带，而今，除了一些Bootleg外，它只在某合辑里留下了一首歌，虽然Mick Harvey声称他们对The Birthday Party产生了不小的影响。当它的主唱Simon Bonney在1983年同Mick Harvey相遇并打算共组乐队时，他们决定沿用这个奇怪的名字。而从这时起，为更多人熟知的Crime & The City Solution才渐渐在伦敦成型。
Despite roots dating back as far as 1978, Crime & the City Solution did not truly emerge until 1984, coming to life in the wake of the dissolution of the seminal Birthday Party. The group was led by the evocative singer/songwriter Simon Bonney, a Melbourne, Australia native who led a series of bands under the verbose Crime name throughout the late 70s and early 80s; a longtime friend of the Birthday Party, he contacted former members Mick Harvey and Rowland S. Howard after the groups breakup, and following the addition of Howards bassist brother Harry, the most successful and famed lineup of Crime & the City Solution was born.
In 1985, the quartet debuted with The Dangling Man, a self-produced EP quickly establishing the bands moody, atmospheric blues-based aesthetic. Former Swell Maps drummer Epic Soundtracks joined Crime after the EPs release, freeing Harvey to alternate among a variety of instruments for the haunting follow-up, Just South of Heaven. Their full-length bow Room of Lights appeared in 1986 and featured the remarkable Six Bells Chime, which so impressed the acclaimed filmmaker Wim Wenders that he invited the band to perform the song live in his 1988 masterpiece Wings of Desire.
By the time the film appeared, however, the incarnation of Crime & the City Solution presented onscreen was no more; after Room of Lights, the Howard brothers and Soundtracks exited to form These Immortal Souls, leaving Bonney, Harvey and violinist Bronwyn Adams (also Bonneys wife and songwriting partner) to relocate to Berlin, where they recruited a number of local musicians, including Einsturzende Neubauten guitarist Alexander Hacke, to cut 1988s ornate, intoxicating Shine. Even more baroque was the follow-up, 1989s The Bride Ship.
In 1990, Crime returned to the studio one final time to record Paradise Discotheque, a record built around Bonneys ambitious four-part suite The Last Dictator, a song cycle inspired by the downfall of Romanian warlord Nicolae Ceaucescu. After contributing The Adversary to the soundtrack of Wenders Until the End of the World, Crime & the City Solution disbanded; while Harvey rejoined former Birthday Party mate Nick Cave in the Bad Seeds, Bonney began work on his 1992 solo debut, Forever.
