关于后摇

2006-05-29

刚在 Music! 发了两张不错的后摇新作,有一感觉:如今的吉他后摇领域,大部分新作永远也无法突破几张经典的前作。于是就想数数我心目中称得上经典的前作都有哪些。被奉为经典的后摇前辈有很多,但我喜欢的只是其中一小部分。

我认为经典的几张吉他后摇专辑:

Labradford - Mi Media Naranja - 1998
Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun - 1999
Yume Bitsu - Yume Bitsu - 2001
Explosions in the sky - Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place - 2003
Mogwai - Happy Songs For Happy People - 2003

近两年我认为能称之为非常棒的几张吉他后摇专辑:

Pillow - Pillow - 2004
Tracer AMC - Flux and Form - 2004
God Is An Astronaut - All Is Violent All Is Bright - 2005
Olga - What is Olga - 2005
September Malevolence - Tomorrow We'll Wonder Where This Generation Gets Its Priorities From - 2005
Glider - One Day At A Time - 2006

以上全都是狭义的 guitar-oriented post-rock ,别的形式比如氛围电后摇什么的都没算。还真不算多。当然,可能还有许多我还没听过。

AMG 上对后摇这一流派的说明文章最后一句:However, even as the backlash set in, a newer wave of bands (the Dirty Three, Rachel's, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Sigur Rós) gained wider recognition for their distinctive sounds, suggesting that the style wasn't exhausted after all. 然而,并不像从 Slint 就开始听后摇的 Simon Reynolds ,我接触后摇是从 Mogwai 与 Explosions In The Sky 开始的。而在这个领域,Mogwai 与 Explosions In The Sky  已经算是相当后辈了。如今 post-rock 已经演化到了 post-Mogwai 或是 post-EITS 时代,我怕的是后摇这一流派的潜力,也许快被挖掘干净了。
