小简介
Agent 5.1是来自比利时的一支Trip-Hop风格新晋乐队,乐队主要由负责作曲和鼓机程序编排的Cedric G,主唱兼歌词创作的Johanne Lovera这两位成员组成。乐队中的两位成员都是从朋克乐转型而来.
沉缓低回的贝司声,奔放但不激烈的鼓击,变化多端的神秘女声,“Cake Song"也许听起来更象是一首Trip-Hop节拍打底的Indie Pop式幽雅作品,如同标题所想暗示的那样,也许你现在应该放松一下四肢,坐到靠阳台的桌上,把刚烤好的蛋糕拿出来,切一小块,放在精致的小盘里,然后端出刚泡好的咖啡。吃着蛋糕,喝着咖啡,听着Agent 5.1的《Con Furore》唱片,感觉怎么样?管它什么小资不小资,让我们开始在Agent 5.1的音乐世界里神游。
“呼噜,呼噜~”她睡得好甜啊,看到那个小猫了吗?正趴在对面窗台上孵着太阳的那个,咻咻,睡饱咯!舒服地叫一声:“喵--”伸个懒腰,撒开小腿奔吧!轻松脆甜的Downtempo节拍也涌了进来,但奇怪的是作品的名字却是“ Robert ”(警察),不管这些了,有趣的是作品中还有一段纯粹的Instrumental Hip Hop节拍,只那么一小段,却足已让人听得大呼过瘾!这感觉就象是打开盒子后突然发现在鲜奶蛋糕上有一棵娇艳的樱桃般奇妙。
在让人精神为之一振的碎拍中,"Bronchio Experience"开始了,在其中你可以听到一个男子在不停地重复着念着什么,感觉既象是一种绕口令又象是一种神秘的咒语,这时照例又听到了弦乐,飘啊飘的女声,不一而足,如果你以为这只是一首Cinematic作品,那你就错咯。在作品的后半段,有肃穆的钟声,浅浅的Instrumental Hip Hop节拍缠绵的交错,最后杀出的是一句电影对白采样,男人沉稳的脚步声,轿车开过的声音,手法是老套了,但中间的过渡以及采样的搭配上都拿捏的恰到火候。
刚一开始那由远而近的声效就让人感到一阵晕眩,但你别急着晕啊,继续听下去。连绵的镲音、忧郁的贝司声铺垫之后,Trip-Hop节拍摇曳着“Charming”迷人的身姿这才终于走了出来,Johanne的声音处理上比之前面几首,更高,更飘,更飞了一些,好了,这时你再晕也不迟了。出彩的地方留在了后半部分,抽去了“煽情的弦乐”(老实说,听了太多类似的弦乐+电子的东西后感动得神经早已麻木了)和人声,只有一段纯粹的碎碎节拍,而在之上缠绕着的是更慢更粘的节拍,突然一个类似以前经常玩的一个街机游戏“侍魂”开打的声音效果响起,只不过这里是换成了一个女子娇叱了一声,随后先前的节拍,人声,合声,弦乐再重新回来,着实好玩。
在一段有点俗套的“Heaven Voices"风格的"Orch"(请允许俺也俗套地用一次这个形容词吧!)之后,迎来的是一对男女的对白,声音模糊不清,只听那女子一声粘粘的“Movie Kisser”之后,先前早已按耐不住的Industrial Beats凶猛地扑了过来,在甜甜Downtempo节拍调整过后,随后工业碎拍再继续霸气十足地横行,就象是实力再强的拳击手也需要在一个回合之后休息一下,这次的调整换成了喘着粗气的Instrumental Hip Hop节拍,更慢,更拖,偶尔还有那重复着Kisser、Kisser的幽幽女声采样回荡,突然地,一切都归于寂静,只有“嗡嗡嗡”的电子杂音。结束了吗?不!Industrial Beats猛然间再次响了起来!末了的声音效果象是电没了,高潮才终于得以完结。
在细细碎碎的Drum&Bass作品“Next Millenium”过后,Agent 5.1为我们带来了Reggae风格的Afro,注意听最后结尾部分的一段对白,那种发音方式和强调非常可爱有趣。
对了,你小时候玩过“小蜜蜂”吗?后来又出了“大蜜蜂”,就是红白机上的插卡的,呼呼,想起来了吧?“di,di!jiu,jiu!wu~”哈哈,Agent 5.1竟然在“Poulet”的开头采样把这款经典游戏的游戏声效也搬到了开头!仔细听,你还能听到按键的声音哦!数数看,在整个作品里,其中主角一共出动了了几次,又死了几次?配合着这个好玩的采样,照例是松脆的节拍,不过这次还用到了一些类似IDM色彩的效果,最后的一个爆炸声宣告了游戏结束。
其实,在如今什么都可以拿来做采样的时代来说,采样游戏中的声效已经是不太稀奇了,而且早有人这么做过,并且采样的同样是这款游戏,如莫文蔚的《一朵金花》中第一首作品《散光》。或许因为这是最早在八位机上出现的游戏之一,而且老少皆宜、风靡一时的缘故吧。 在"Poulet"带给你不同于以往听觉经验的鼓机节拍之后,有着浓郁的阴暗氛围的“Chanson Cach”悄然登场,苍白的提琴声、雄壮的鼓声、神秘的对白、冰冷的回声,就连之前惯有的Trip-Hop节拍都淡出。一切就此结束了?不!你注意到了吗?这首曲子长度是20:06!在曲子的末尾其实还留有一个神秘的答案,只有听完全部才能知道。
Cedric G. was born between summer 68 and autumn 72, somewhere between Belfast and Zürich. He started a musical career as a drummer in the late eighties and used to perform hundred of gigs, most of them in a noisy rock band. In the meantime he kept on making music with Johanne Lovera – the band’s female singer who had worked in the past with Cedric G. on a short time project.
The songs for the album Con Furore (a downtempo trip between atmospheric jazz, movie soundtrack and electronic music) were composed in three months. A musical work made in a twenty square meter single room home on an analogic four-track recorder with the help of a standard microcomputer.
Cedric G. and Johanne met Luc Van Acker who gave them the opportunity to record their first album. They worked in pre-production with Frank Duchêne (ex-Hooverphonic) and the album was recorded at Louis Studio in Tienen (BE).
The studio version was entirely produced by Agent 5.1 and reinterpreted on acoustic instruments.
A record deal is signed at the beginning of 2002 with Komodo Records, a new belgian label build-up for Agent 5.1.
In september 2002 a deal is signed with the french label Nocturne for the release of "con furore". This debut album (available in Europe & Japan) was acclaimed by music reviewers (Trax, Coda, Triphop.net,...) & newspapers (Knack, Le Soir, La Dernière Heure,...).
In 2002 & 2003 the band has toured in Belgium (Dour Festival, Nandrin, Suikkerrock, Francofolies de Spa) & France (Batofar in Paris & l'Entre-pôt in Grenoble) and put a few songs on a lots of compilations.
The second Agent 5.1 album "the wonderful world of kissing" has just been released thanks to a licensing deal between Komodo Records and Black Coffee / Distrisound.
Agent 5.1 has invited live musicians (trumpet, flute, violin,...) to perform during the recording sessions in order to add more warmth and authenticity to the new album.
The new songs are still influenced by jazz, 60's soundtracks and electronic music with the wonderful and hypnotising vocals of Johanne Lovera performing on most of them.
Stomach is the first single taken from this album.
