Songs from Black Mountain 黑山乐章介绍

★90年代Post-Grunge摇滚霸主入主新东家最新大碟

★曾缔造1300万惊人销量，创下三首冠军曲以及九首Top10单曲记录

★专辑不但延续以往风格，声感带有平实谱唱内心感动的回归大作

国际地区领先美国发行！

经90年代Grunge乐派的野性奔放，随後稍微收敛却仍透着一份霸气的Post-Grunge，提升摇滚全新格局，拱出如Creed主义、Matchbox 20火柴盒20等超级冠军乐团，突破流行防线，散尽爆发力十足摇滚本色，成为冠军摇滚部队的一员，历经15个年头仍然屹立不摇，他们是Live临场感乐团，无论现场或是录音室作品，都能带给你相当震撼富有临场感受的超级组合。

转换新东家推出主流厂第七张专辑《Songs From Black Mountain》，请来同时身为摇滚制作人及混音大将的Jim Wirt(Incubus、Hoobastank、L.A. Guns)操盘掌控。首先以吉他轻拨伴随动人和声开场的首波单曲〈The River〉，令人讶异於Live转换内敛摇滚气流下，深深着迷於顺耳耐听之声线当中；Acoustic吉他演奏拉出〈Get Ready〉最舒愉聆听感受，堆叠出的人声搭腔增添此曲温暖度；Ed极具爆发力的嗓音完全释放在一曲中，激昂情绪随着曲子接近尾声而不断上升；有着Live早期抒情摇滚气势的，不时利用乐器营造一种濒临情绪引爆点的迫切感。Live的蜕变你可以轻易感受到，少了些许狂妄暴戾之气，多了些自然平实声感，拉近聆听者距离，谱唱出感动内心深处的动听佳音。

英文原文

After earning a rabid local following, in 1989 Public Affection released a cassette, The Death of a Dictionary, on their own Action Front label. After graduating to CBGB and other famed New York clubs, they earned a demo deal with Giant Records which proved unsuccessful; the completed demo earned them a deal with Radioactive, however, and before drawing their new name out of a hat, Live recruited Talking Head Jerry Harrison to produce their 1991 debut, Mental Jewelry. A collection of songs based on the writings of Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti, the record made Live one of the key players in the post-Nirvana alternative music scene thanks to singles like “Operation Spirit (The Tyranny of Tradition)” and “Pain Lies on the Riverside.”

Three years later, Live returned with the muscular Throwing Copper, which lingered a number of months on the charts before pushing the group into the rock mainstream; after a series of popular singles like “Selling the Drama” and “I Alone,” the album’s slow build climaxed with the funereal “Lightning Crashes,” which propelled the album to the top of the charts and paved the way for the hits “White, Discussion” and “All Over You.” Secret Samadhi, the third Live LP, followed in early 1997, but failed to match either the commercial or critical success of previous efforts. The band resurfaced two years later with The Distance to Here. Through 2003, the band continually refined their ambitious, spiritual sound; both 2001’s V and 2003’s Birds of Pray cracked the Billboard Top 30
