~在日落的晚霞中舞蹈~

今天无心走进家门口的一家叫不出名的音像店
找到了一张GRANDADDY的唱片
最早知道他们是在《非音乐》上
那期介绍了另外一张他们的代表作，封面上醒目的电脑键盘键帽拍在自然中
大概这样的表达比较和他们indie的风格，以及对于人类文明和大自然关系的反思



我买的这张后来听上去象Beck+Beatles+Radiohead+Hevan
反正很怪，上网后搜索才发现竟然是乐队成员喜欢的歌曲的精选加一首新歌
中国的盗版商真不敬业，还在专辑包装上写着不是英伦不是低调音乐
明明当中就有很纯的英伦和低调音乐嘛，还写着而是有自己独特的伤感情态与拔俗傲姿
还真能评价啊，不知是哪转载的？善于营造出一种无声的风暴式的新民谣曲风
及招牌式的哀乐般的嗓音，天使浅吟低唱的音乐，这些应该算是比较全面的评价了吧

不过乐队成员所选的歌曲确实还是不错的
具体目录如下：
1. Beck - We Live Again        
2. Beulah - Burned By The Sun        
3. Earlimart - Color Bars        
4. Snow Patrol - Run        
5. Goldenboy - Wild Was The Night        
6. Giant Sand - Bottom Line Man        
7. Fruit Bats - The Little Acorn        
8. Home - Comin' Up Empty Again        
9. Jackpot - If We Could Go Backwards        
10. The Handsome Family - I Fell        
11. Little Wings - Sand Canyon        
12. Pavement - Motion Suggests        
13. Blonde Redhead - For the Damaged        
14. Virgil Shaw - Twisted Layer        
15. Grandaddy - Nature Anthem
果然第一首是Beck的，其他就没一个了解的了
他们的爱好还真广泛啊！

专辑整体感不是很强，不过在一首首独立的音乐中你可以发现些东西
一些并不要你刻意去领会的东西，一些你可以很容易喜欢上的东西
或许这些就是他们出这张专辑的目的吧？谁知道呢？呵呵。。。

Originally issued on indie label Will Records, 1997's acclaimed full-length Under the Western Freeway proved Grandaddy's creative breakthrough, and the following year the album was reissued on major-label V2, with "Summer Here Kids" earning Single of the Week honors in the pages of the NME. The Broken Down Comforter Collection, a compilation of singles tracks, preceded the 1999 Signal to Snow Ratio EP, which heralded a movement toward the vintage electronic textures further in evidence on 2000's superb Sophtware Slump. In 2002 the group released another odds-n-sods colle...
