[详细介绍]创立于1983年的DMC公司是英国第一间倡导DJ文化的唱片公司,过去20多年来对俱乐部文化一直起着举足轻重的作用,而该公司的系列唱片Back To Mine多少给人一种出自名门的感觉。Back To Mine的每一辑都会交由不同的音乐人去打理,音乐人会负责选曲和混音成沙发音乐,而选曲的原则是音乐人平日卧室里常听的私房音乐,单这一点已经能吊起乐迷的胃口,毕竟大家都想知道这些音乐人闲时是会听些什么。\nUltra Records的Back to Mine系列是展现一个电子乐队音乐品味的绝佳机会,其概念很简单:艺术家被赋予最大的‘编辑’自由,根据其品味选歌、编排、混音、制作出一张舞曲chill-out风格的专辑。\nRoots Manuva原名Rodney Smith,父母是来自牙买加的移民,Roots Manuva出道于90年代中期,当时就获MOBO音乐大奖,还获得Mercury音乐奖的提名。音乐风格不光是简单的黑人hiphop,电子乐,ragga,garage等音乐风格更是Roots Manuva音乐的标志。从音乐圈消失了Several years后,在2005年发行第四张专辑-Awfully Deep。首支单曲Colossal Insight打上了排行榜第33名,是他个人音乐的最高成绩(曾和Leftfield合作的Dusted最好成绩是28名),Colossal Insight展现了Roots Manuva的电子音乐素养,尖刻的电子节奏和是时不时的rap,很容易让人和Faithless联系在一起。专辑后半部的Thanking也是同样的电子音乐,多处的是那份hiphop式的bass,我被结束时的那一段器乐给迷住了。The Falling的音乐和rap相当的宏大,不卑不亢,节奏感强。再回到开头,Mind 2 Motion均匀地融合了专辑的各种元素,标题歌曲和Chin High与Prodigy有的一拼。Rebel Heart则有些和So Solid Crew相似,很佩服Roots Manuva对各种音乐的运用,A Haunting这样的音乐就像是海上战船的好声。作为第二首单曲的Too Cold是一首音乐剧的曲子,与其专辑中其他的歌曲不同的一点是其中的高潮是用唱的而不是说的。相信专辑的封套还是受到这首歌的启发而设计的,剧院的背景遇着首歌的配合恰到好处。\n\nProduct Description\nRodney Smith aka Roots Manuva released his MOBO-winning debut album, Brand New Second Hand, in 1999 and his Mercury-nominated follow up, Run Come Save Me, in 2001. With those two records he developed a reputation as the possessor of a beautiful voice, a lyrical density which leaves most mainstream MCs sounding a little flat, and a production ear which constantly finds the unusual - the original - and makes it sound as natural as walking. Now, with his third album, he has made the best record of his career.\nAdd to this impressive catalogue Roots Manuva’s Back To Mine album and you see an artist who has drawn inspiration for the most creative people in musical culture and who now offers this gift back. Rodney’s selection for Back To Mine is truly mind-blowing! From the classic soul of Maze to the Grime of Wiley and the class of Grace Jones. this really is an album to take back to yours...
