有沒有朋友是今天生日的呢?

雖然今天不是我的生日,但是1995年的今天(6/26)有一張影響我很大的90年代名盤誕生,就是電子天團The Chemical Brothers的劃時代首張專輯《Exit Planet Dust》: https://bit.ly/3dgTtgG

或許可以這樣斷言,當初如果沒有這張《Exit Planet Dust》, 我想最初被泛稱為「British-style indie dance」或「indie trip-hop」的breakbeat風潮,不會迅速壯大成Brit-hop/amyl house,更不會在短時間內引發後續的chemical beat/big beat效應。

開場的〈Leave Home〉、〈In Dust We Trust〉 與The Charlatans主唱Tim Burgess跨刀獻聲的〈Life Is Sweet〉, 無疑都是最佳的Brit-hop/amyl house典型, 它們示範了當hip-hip/funk breakbeats、dirty guitar-riffs、綿密重型的bassline、industrial techno匯集成一股極具侵略與攻擊性的dance-crossover-rock能量時,會構成何等強大的殺傷力;樂曲中有大量瘋狂TB-303 acid聲效流竄的〈Chemical Beats〉,曲如其名是chemical beat樂風的最佳範本, 甚至〈Song To The Siren〉也早已具備了Big Beat的雛型。另外, Beth Orton擔任主唱的〈Alive Alone〉還會讓我想起Massive Attack與Cocteau Twins女主唱Liz Frazer在〈Teardrop〉一曲中的合作。

《Exit Planet Dust》之所以重要,不單是它成功地打破了電子舞曲與搖滾樂間的隔閡, 引發了一次世紀末的indie-crossover-dance音樂革命,而且這也是一張集breakbeat類型之大成的高等教材。
