DJ Mykal a.k.a.林哲儀

熟悉90年代獨立搖滾發展的樂迷，肯定對我身上這件TEE的圖案不陌生。是的，這就是傳奇蘇格蘭獨立樂團Primal Scream那張盡展折衷主義藍圖之劃時代經典大碟《Screamadelica》的封面： https://music.apple.com/tw/album/screamadelica/262848981

我打算在今晚 #居家BTS派對房 DJ直播穿著這件90年代初買的古著TEE，因為該團的第五張錄音室專輯《Vanishing Point》就是在1997年的今天（7/7）問世。

以主唱/創作靈魂Bobby Gillespie為首、成軍於1984年的Primal Scream，對於90年代英國獨立搖滾樂壇來說之所以獨特且重要得無可取代，所憑藉的就是該團不斷在音樂上進行革新突破的嘗試勇氣。而當年這張專輯《Vanishing Point》最叫我趨之若鶩的地方，在於該團讓我們見證到了《Screamadelica》那種結合電子基因之實驗破格意識的重現，同時還注入數以倍計的迷幻dub張力，彷彿早一步預言了90年代末skunk-rock/電氣化neo-psychedelia樂風的誕生： https://music.apple.com/tw/album/vanishing-point-expanded-edition/482544838

正因為這樣的音樂特質，隨後樂團還找來On-U Sound主將Adrian Sherwood，為《Vanishing Point》炮製出一張迷幻程度更加難以估計的混音專輯《Echo Dek》，又是合作佳話一則： https://music.apple.com/tw/album/echo-dek/207360599

值得一提的是，當時Mani這位前The Stone Roses貝斯手的加入對Primal Scream而言有如如虎添翼，其一手渾實深沈的Bass彈奏手法更令這張原就黑暗trippy/dubby的專輯增添深不可測的氛圍。
