How Strange, Innocence

Explosions in the Sky是美国德州团，他们成团不到三年，第一张正式专辑以后，迅速窜红，在美国本地的巡回演出几乎没有休息的时间！ 要介绍Explosions in the Sky的音乐，就一定要先说明什么叫大爆炸：所谓的大爆炸并不是真正的音乐术语，它是用来形容后摇滚在情绪堆栈到最高潮的时候，吉他的破音爆出一片难以形容的巨大音墙。被称为大爆炸的原因还有疯狂的鼓点释放出巨大的能量，因为整个乐团在同一个点进入这种抓狂的状态，所以听CD的时候常常有人会被吓一跳！这种类型的著名乐团，当然就是Mogwai，不过在情绪方面，Explosions in the Sky比较多元化，歌的长度也不像Mogwai那么长。 静谧悠远的铺陈，配器音色的转折，将张力堆栈到临界；情绪一下就被牵动，随着音乐起伏，时而气如游丝、时而充满能量。来自美国德州的Explosions In The Sky和来自英伦诸岛的同类型团体相较，少了一点阴蕴内沉的气息，多了如沙漠般荒凉的地景刻画。2001年，推出第一张专辑，马上获得媒体网络乐评的青睐，成为近来最令人期待的后摇滚之音！ 全球发片300张,质量高与EITS的后两张专辑.温暖的旋律,平缓的过渡,绚丽的大爆炸之声,将这张专辑抛至其它后摇唱片望其项背的水平.虽然很多人对他们的后两张充满赞美之词,但真正的后摇内核,大爆炸精神已经完全体现在how strange, innocence的7首歌曲中。

Fleet Foxes

出身于著名厂牌Sub Pop公司的Fleet Foxes，是一支来自美国西雅图的独立摇滚乐队。乐队主要的曲风是以清新、舒缓、悠扬为主，由于该乐队出道时间不长，所以该乐队的资料不是很多，只是知道他们之前曾在几个月前推出过一张EP，反响不错。看来Sub Pop公司之所以称为著名厂牌也并非浪得虚名。他们的这张同名专辑上市后反应也不错，已经打进了美国公告牌专辑排行榜的前100名，可以说这张应该是张好专辑。

One World

by Wilson Neate After Sunday's Child, John Martyn took an extended break from studio recording. By late 1975, feeling he was close to going "completely round the bend," he had also stopped touring. To put some distance between himself and the pressures of the business and to recoup his creative energies, he went to Jamaica. There, after meeting dub producer Lee "Scratch" Perry, Martyn sat in on sessions by other artists and contributed to Burning Spear's Man in the Hills. Martyn returned to the U.K. reinvigorated and began recording One World in summer 1977. Produced by Island boss Chris Blackwell and featuring Dave Pegg, Morris Pert, John Stevens, Danny Thompson, and Steve Winwood, among others, One World combines the experimental tendencies of 1973's Inside Out and the more conventional song structures of Sunday's Child. While tracks like "Couldn't Love You More," "Smiling Stranger," and "Certain Surprise" display some continuity with the rootsy, jazzy folk-rock of Martyn's previous albums, this record has a stronger commercial feel than his earlier work, crossing over into pop territory. Especially memorable in that regard is the electrified swagger of "Big Muff," a number co-written by Perry that would become one of Martyn's live staples. But One World's understated explorations of mood are even more compelling; the experimental nature of dub -- of which Perry was a legendary exponent -- clearly resonated with Martyn. Since the early '70s, he had displayed a keen ear for sonic manipulation, using effects like Echoplex and a phase shifter to craft drifting, hypnotic textures. Here, the lazy title track and the synth-pulsing "Small Hours" exemplify Martyn's knack for mesmerizing, smoky grooves. Those looser, atmospheric numbers notwithstanding, most of One World signals the more slick pop direction John Martyn would take in the '80s starting with Grace & Danger (and with increasingly mixed results). [In 2005, Island released a Deluxe Edition of One World that included five live tracks and 10 alternate versions of songs from the initial release.]

Arvo Pärt

The works on this CD emphasize the a cappella side of this Arvo Pärt's post-emigration period, providing a representative sampling from some of Pärt’s most productive years (1988–91) together with several selections composed later in the 1990s. For just one work, the Berlin Mass, the voices of the Byrd Ensemble are accompanied by organ.
