新一期的Late Night Tales继MGMT之后再度请来了苏格兰老牌传奇乐团Belle and Sebastian主理,上一次作客的那张没听所以不好比较,这次的封面好漂亮,音乐其实是之前的一些选编,主要囊括了众多Belle and Sebastian的灵感缪斯. 融汇老式情调Jazz,Soul,Indie Folk/Rock,Electronica,Pop以及一些世界音乐,Belle and Sebastian献唱一首"Crash",整张选集趋向于一些具有丰富器乐演奏的作品,曲风从Post-Punk到Bossanova不拘一格,某些地方有点跳脱,艺人名单从Ethio-Jazz老祖Mulatu Astatke,摇滚名人堂乐队The Lovin' Spoonful,到当红电界小生Gold Panda,Toro Y Moi,爵士音乐家/竖琴乐手Dorothy Ashby的一首Soul Vibrations个人很喜欢,总体来讲很精致的一张深夜音乐小品.-------luanluan♥kid The celebrated Scottish indie pop group Belle and Sebastian are welcomed back for a second Late Night Tales, the 27th in the esteemed compilation series. Their scene straggling 2006 Late Night Tales included pure pop, 60s psyche, 70s rock, West Coast harmonies, beat groups, punk, indie, folk balladering, girl groups, bossanova. This new selection LateNightTales vol. 2 only delves deeper into their shared influences and inspirations, along with a subtle nod to digging for rare sampled beats: not perhaps an trait usually associated with B&S. World-wise psychedelic breaks thread the mix together; significantly so with two tracks from Broadcast bookending a first half that includes late 60s dreamers The Wonder Who? and Joe Pass, father of Ethio-jazz MulatuAstatke, harpist Dorothy Ashby and the 21st century beats of Gold Panda. Following a mid-section detour through dissonant post-punk and deep jazz courtesy of The Pop Group and Stan Tracey Quartet; recent releases from fellow Scots Remember Remember and South Carolina’s Toro Y Moi rubs shoulders with Ce’cile’s 2002 Cure referencing riddim ‘Rude Bwoy Thug Life’ and Blood, Sweat & Tears classic version of ‘Spinning Wheel’. For the obligatory Late Night Tales cover version, Belle and Sebastian have chosen The Primitive’s 1988 pop-punk classic ‘Crash’, recreated in the band’s own inimitable style. Two beautiful records close the mix: Steve Parks haunting soul vocal ‘Still Thinking Of You’ and an excerpt of the calm improvisation ‘On The Other Ocean’ from David Behrman’s 1977 experimental album. As ever, the trip concludes with our bedtime story with the third part of Paul Morley’s ‘Lost For Words’.
