「無浪潮 No Wave」音樂類型是我最近聽得很頻密的曲風之一，當中我最欣賞的有 The Music 和 Arctic Monkeys。輕快的節奏讓人鼓舞，迷幻的聲音讓人沉醉；復古的噪音令人喜悅，墮落的精神讓人欽佩。
以下兩張專輯最近深深的迷住了我，在此跟大家分享一些有關的資料和感想。
先來談談 The Music 吧！剛推出新專輯「Strength In Numbers」的他們，音樂類型就如 Led Zeppelin 碰上 Disco 的結晶品，以 4/4 節拍式的電子舞曲鼓點配合 Groovy Riff 的吉他彈奏，再加悅耳 Sing Along Style 的 Chorus 部分，怎么不叫人深深迷上他們的音樂呢？
2002 年推出首張專輯「The Music」后驚動世界，以扣人心懸的歌曲，令人愛不釋手。2004 年推出第二張專輯「Welcome to the North」后，樂隊就停頓了下來，原因完全來自主音 Robert Harvey 的個人酗酒問題。Robert Harvey 在 2005 年成功告別酗酒問題，The Music 再次發出光芒，開始巡回演出及灌錄新專輯。
2008 年，「Strength In Numbers」誕生，由 Brandon O’Brien 操刀監制，音樂變得更扎實有力。主打歌「Strength In Numbers」更成為了新世代的革命及示威歌曲，音樂錄音及歌詞如下：
The emptiness that burns inside
See how they run see how they hide
All the animals come out at night!
All the animals come out at night!
Just a slave to the city
To indulge the pity
The opaque substitution
For a real revolution
Strength in numbers
No one will come between us
The human use of human beings
Their emotions you fail to see
The adrenaline it burns a hole
The adrenaline it burns a hole
Just a slave to the city
To indulge the pity
The opaque substitution
For a real revolution
Strength in numbers
No one will come between us
他們的音樂讓我手舞足蹈，士氣高昂。我強烈建議大馬反對黨示威時播放他們的歌曲，讓出席示威活動的朋友可以興高采烈的跳舞。哈哈哈哈！只是個建議而已，Why so serious？The Music 即將在亞洲進行巡回演出，希望到時馬來西亞也將成為其中一站，到時可以盡情忘我地舞蹈著。
接下來談 Arctic Monkeys 吧！2002 年成軍的他們，在 2006 年推出首張專輯「Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not」，處女專輯銷量更突破了 Oasis 的處女專輯「Definitely Maybe」，成為了榜首冠軍，同時也獲獎無數。2007 年，推出第二張專輯「Favourite Worst Nightmare」，也一樣的有著傲人的成績。
到底他們是如何的這么成功呢？在早期時，Arctic Monkeys 在互聯網上讓人免費下載 DEMO 小樣，建立了鞏固的粉絲基層，更是網路音樂分享的樂隊鼻祖和表表者。
Arctic Monkeys 的曲風融合了 Punk、Old Skool、Retro 和 Ska，歌詞方面環繞著人文及社會現實主義等話題。英國的政客也超愛他們的音樂，更以他們的樂隊名稱及歌詞為演講話題。
一起來聽聽 The View From A Afternoon 的音樂錄影吧！
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah, regardless of what's gone before
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
The lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine
And of course its fancy dress
And they're all looking quite full on
In bunny ears and devil horns in hell
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah, regardless of what's gone before
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
I want to see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand it you can never beat the bandit, no
And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
You should bear that in mind tonight
bear that in mind, yeah you should
bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
You can pour your heart out but her reasoning will block
Ought you send her after nine o'clock
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah, regardless of what's gone before
And she won’t be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she’s pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there’s verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
You should bear that in mind tonight
bear that in mind, yeah you should
bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
You can pour your heart out around 3 o clock
When the 2 for 1's undone the writers block.
