前卫，愤怒，直抒胸臆的同时，兼具艺术性。在九十年代初，崔健就用这样一张极度混搭的先锋专辑，表达了他内心的一些想法。从那时到现在，没有哪个强权政府会容忍这样的声音出现，但作为音乐，哪怕你不懂中文，也会被其中的器乐演奏所吸引，也许正是这样的脆弱感，显得这些红旗下的蛋格外珍稀。

Avant-garde, angry, and straightforward while also possessing artistry. In the early 1990s, Cui Jian used this extremely eclectic avant-garde album to express some of his inner thoughts. Since then, no authoritarian government has tolerated such voices, but as music, even if you don't understand Chinese, you will be drawn in by the instrumental performances. Perhaps it is this sense of fragility that makes these eggs under the red flag particularly rare.

同样来自96年，同样在滚石的用心之作，粤语歌曲对我来说，歌词听起来很费劲，但不影响欣赏歌曲的流畅编排。除去《夜太黑》的爵士配置，这张还加入了弦乐以及 club 乐队，听感上丝毫不会疲劳。

Also from 1996, and also a carefully crafted work by Rock Records, Cantonese songs sound quite challenging to me in terms of lyrics, but it doesn't affect the enjoyment of the song's smooth arrangement. Aside from the jazz setup of "The Night is Too Dark," this album also incorporates strings and a club band, making it feel completely refreshing.

我是在KTV中听到了这首歌，林忆莲是大陆地区耳熟能详的艺人，但这首歌确实是第一次听到，其中 灵魂乐式的萨克斯和非常雷鬼的鼓组一下就抓住我了：为什么90年代的歌曲可以这么前卫？回去之后完整听完整张专辑，我就确信这确实是一张制作非常用心用钱的专辑，值得一试。PS：这似乎是我第一次听到流行歌中全程穿插萨克斯，非常棒。

I heard this song in a KTV, and Lin Yilian is a well-known artist in mainland China, but this is indeed the first time I've heard this song. The soul music-style saxophone and the very reggae-like drum set immediately caught my attention: why can songs from the 90s be so avant-garde? After going back and listening to the entire album, I was convinced that this is indeed an album that was made with great care and investment, worth a try. PS: This seems to be the first time I've heard a pop song with saxophone interspersed throughout, it's fantastic.

提供了一个非常私密的入口，让我们得以窥探乐队在 96年左右的一个创作状态和审美取向


It provides a very intimate entry point that allows us to glimpse the band's creative state and aesthetic orientation around 1996

在第一次接触某个乐队时，我会先选择他们的第一张专辑，再按照时间顺序往下听，某种程度上你会体会到作为一个整体，乐队发生的变化，和审美上的偏好。

Cars 的这张专辑对一部分歌迷会是惊喜，也可能是失望。更多的旋律走向，乐器穿插取代了以往的噪音墙，少了听觉上的冲击，但更能体会到意境或者情绪上的传递，某种程度上信息是更加丰富。吉他贝斯鼓在这张专辑里让我很快想到了 Yo La Tengo 或者是地下丝绒的质感，但因为环境的不同，表达的主题是不同且值得我们思考的。

When I first encounter a band, I will choose their first album and then listen to them in chronological order. To some extent, you will experience the changes the band undergoes as a whole and their aesthetic preferences.

This album by Cars may be a surprise to some fans, but it could also be disappointing. There are more melodic directions, and the interspersing of instruments has replaced the previous wall of noise, resulting in less auditory impact, but allowing for a greater appreciation of the conveyed atmosphere or emotions; in some ways, the information is richer. The guitar, bass,… More

我觉得不光是音乐家艺术家，包括我这些普通人在日常生活中都很难去克服一些与生俱来或者后天习得的思维惯性和定势。世界音乐 这个分类的起源是不政治正确的，但不可否认将音乐世界化这件事，还是很酷很实验的，能在上世纪八十年代制作出这样一张专辑，确实很前沿。我承认其中的很多采样或者元素都很东亚，这也确实是一个不仅仅包含欧洲的欧洲音乐作品。

I think that not only musicians and artists, but also ordinary people like us find it difficult to overcome some inherent or learned cognitive biases and fixed mindsets in our daily lives. The classification of "world music" is not politically correct, but it is undeniable that the globalization of music is quite cool and experimental. To produce such an album in the 1980s was indeed very avant-garde. I admit that many of the samples or elements are very East Asian, and this is indeed a European music work that does not only include Europe.

喜欢，前几首鼓的推进+人声，让我一下想到了 Yola Tengo，同样的他们也在追求在同一首歌里结构尽可能多变，能够持续吸引住你。
然后中间靠后的几首歌，吉他营造的空间感也很棒，让我想到之前听过一支日本的后摇乐队，那只乐队没有贝斯，单纯靠吉他混响营造出一种浓稠的氛围，这里让我有类似的感觉。
如你所见，我不会西班牙语，但单纯音乐的感受就已经很好了，希望你们也可以多尝试中国或者亚洲的后摇音乐 LOL

最后，我评分是不会打五星满分的，所以实际得分你可以认为是四星啦。

Love it, the drum propulsion + vocals in the first couple of songs reminds me of Yola Tengo at once, the same way they're striving to be as varied as possible in their structure in the same song, to be able to consistently draw you in.
Then a couple of songs back in the middle, the guitars create a great sense of space as well, reminding me of a Japanese post-rock band I've heard before that had no bass and relied purely on guitar reverb to create a thick atmosphere, and it gives me a similar feeling here.

不要说后摇圈，在音乐圈，应该很少会有乐迷不喜欢惘闻吧。

按时专辑，敢于挑战，保质保量，活跃于国内甚至国际舞台。我想象不到一支乐队可以比这更「模范」了。其他专辑是一样质量和水平，这张仅仅是我私人的最爱而已。其中北方特有的冷寂和肃杀搭配孤独实在是太合适了，希望大连和惘闻都一直好！

Not to mention the post-rock scene, there should be very few fans in the music scene who don't like Wang Wen.

Albums on time, daring, quality and quantity, active on the national and even international scene. I can't imagine a band being more 'exemplary' than this. The other albums are of the same quality and level, this one is simply my personal favorite. The coldness and solemnity of the north is a perfect match for the loneliness, and I hope Dalian and Wang Wen are doing well!

眼界大开，是我当时的反应。

那已经是发行好几年之后，一个中国小孩在网吧听到这张专辑。其中的音效，和弦，甚至是唱腔对我都是颠覆性的，如果说周杰伦给我的是好听新鲜的悦耳旋律，那么 Radiohead 告诉我，原来怪怪的声音也可以很有意思，接下来，有趣的事情就开始了......

My reaction at the time was one of broadening horizons.

That was several years after its release, when a Chinese child heard this album in an internet café. The sound effects, harmonies, and even the vocal style were all revolutionary to me. If Jay Chou gave me pleasant and fresh melodies, then Radiohead showed me that strange sounds can also be very interesting. After that, the fun began...

对于没有在2000年生活在东南亚的人来说，周杰伦并不是一个熟悉的名字。
这张专辑之所以会出现在我的 Top5中，因为这个专辑或者这个音乐人主导了我在18岁前的音乐审美和偏好，很可惜他在 2010年之后失去了以往的魔力，但如果少年时期我们没有相遇，我们可能都没有后面的故事。
你们应该也有那种过了二十年之后还会反复拿出来听的专辑吧？对我来说，这就是一个例子。

For those who did not live in Southeast Asia in 2000, Jay Chou is not a familiar name.

The reason this album appears in my Top 5 is that this album or this musician shaped my musical aesthetics and preferences before I turned 18. Unfortunately, he lost his former magic after 2010, but if we hadn't met in our youth, we might not have the stories that followed.

You must have albums that you still take out to listen to repeatedly even after twenty years, right? For me, this is one example.
