本週三（8/17）晚上9點30在Mixcloud開始的 #居家BTS派對房 DJ直播，就來好好回味一下 #90年代的「電子 x （獨立）搖滾」演進脈絡，好好地 #BackToSpin 一下吧～～

昨天分享〈Blue Monday〉時，有提到這首神級單曲可說是開啟了90年代indie-dance乃至electronic-rock的一道大門。而在整個90年代裡，從indie-dance經過big beat再到nu-psychedelia所成就的「電子 x （獨立）搖滾」演進脈絡，不但成為2000年代nu-rave乃至dance-rock風潮的重要藍本，更是大大地影響了我DJ與音樂聆聽的歷程。

順著這個演進脈絡裡，我在90年代末遇上這個來自倫敦的Lo-Fidelity Allstars，成為自己心目中最愛的90年代樂團之一。

姑且不論你是否搞得懂當年英國音樂傳媒所賦予他們的「skunk rock」音樂風格是怎麼一回事，認不認同加上他們身上的「龐克版Massive Attack」封號，但當時一連兩張專輯《How To Operate With A Blown Mind》與《Don't Be Afraid Of Love》，所展現那種如何將breakbeat、acid house、psychedelia、hip hop、funk等互異元素共冶一爐的折衷手法，在當時絕對讓我為之驚豔折服，所以自己也曾經很愛在Spin播放他們的〈Disco Machine Gun〉、〈Kool Rok Bass〉、〈Lo Fi's In Ibiza〉這幾首單曲。

附帶一提，《How To Operate With A Blown Mind》與《Don't Be Afraid Of Love》這兩張專輯的日盤CD都有獨家加收曲目，不收不行啊！
