- 专辑介绍
- 英伦传媒每年大似吹捧的新团如过江之鲗，但真正能够在乐坛屹立的，却屈指可数，而2005年初以《The Face of 2005》风光头衔进驻NME封面专题的Bloc Party，便是其中之一！继全球销售突破百万并登上NME年终榜冠军的首张专辑《Silent Alarm》后，Bloc Party以更丰富的编曲层次和多元议题探讨，打破“困难的第二张”魔咒，2007年开春以第二张专辑《A Weekend in The City》攻上全英专辑榜亚军，并获NME 8分、Pitchfork 7.5分、AMG四星好评，证明了他们不仅仅是一组随Post -Punk风潮而起的media-hype！来自英国Brighton的Bloc Party虽顶着“新Franz Ferdinand”响亮头名号出道一炮而红，但这组以奈及利亚裔黑人主唱Kele Okereke为首的组合，却自诩为介于Prince与Shellac之间的乐队，用Kele Okereke令人迷醉的魅力嗓音、Russell Lissack极具破坏力的冷冽华丽吉他音色、Gordon Moakes厚实的Bass声线以及Matt Tong速度感十足的爆炸性鼓击，将八O年代至今的流行音乐文化编入音符之中，多元的音乐基因和千变万化的编曲风貌，让风迷全球的跳舞庞克在其打理下脱胎换骨，一脚踩进Art Rock领域，轻松从众多Post-Punk团队中脱颖而出！
相较于《Silent Alarm》畅快直率的青春火力，Bloc Party邀来U2、Snow Patrol制作人Jacknife Lee操刀的第二张专辑《A Weekend in The City》，透过Kele Okereke的观察诠释21世纪令人沮丧而寂寞的都会风景，将虚无的伦敦夜生活、次世代青年文化、英国黑人移民生活、2005年伦敦爆炸案到同志议题纳入音乐中，选择以更个人化的题材和细致的音乐形势，展现更成熟而知性的面貌。从出自德国女摄影师Rut Blees Luxemburg作品的专辑封面（The Streets的专辑“Original Pirate Material”封面，亦出自此人之手）所流露的都市疏离荒凉，其实便不难勾勒Bloc Party这次所欲呈现的音乐风景，开场曲＜Song For Clay (Disappear Here)＞更直接破题将街伦敦比为吞噬所有快乐的吸血鬼（East London is a vampire that sucks the joy right out of me）！
《A Weekend in The City》中除了英国榜TOP 4首支单曲＜The Prayer＞，描述伦敦爆炸案后保守主义再起的＜Hunting For Witches＞等延续“Silent Alarm”风格的典型Bloc Party劲歌外，由落寞寂寥转入崩坏速度感的＜Song For Clay (Disappear Here)＞，清脆琴音轻拂开场而坠入迷幻领域的＜Waiting For the 7.18＞，或美丽吉他音色导入全开庞克火力的＜Uniform＞等，都十足展现新作里最让人倾心的戏剧感渐进式编曲；急迫鼓点如影随形的＜On＞以及探讨伦敦种族议题的＜Where Is Home? ＞，则展现Bloc Party两种迥异的庞克电气风华；后段＜Kreuzberg＞、＜I Still Remember＞、＜Sunday＞三曲夹带浓厚浓厚的英式摇滚气息，更蕴含直追U2等经典前辈的耀眼神采；而作为专辑结尾的慢板抒情曲＜SRXT＞，回应全作的失落抑郁，在霓虹绚烂的深夜托出一到极至辉煌的孤独感，Kele Okereke的呢喃与落寞琴音才刚刚散去，我们已经开始引领期盼Bloc Party的下一步了！
2.SRXT
Walking in the countryside
It seems that the winds have stopped
I took down the posters from my wall
Left letters for you all
I remember moments of happiness
Endless summer, acoustic guitars
Being a man made me coarse
When I wanted to be delicate
I called up Eugene
Told him I was drowning
Like a castaway on a warm ocean
Waiting for a purpose to rise
They say it's not becoming
For a boy my age

If you want to know what makes me sad
Well it's hope, the endurance of faith
A battle that lasts a lifetime
A fight that never ends
Walking in the countryside
It seems that the winds have stopped
Tell my mother I am sorry
And I loved her
