簡介。。。。。。
Tape is a trio from Stockholm, Sweden, building their music from a whole array of acoustic instruments, computer and field recordings. Their first CD “Opera” got excellent reviews in international press and was compared to artists such as Talk Talk, Gastr del Sol, Fennesz, John Fahey and Faust. See the web page for full info and reviews about “Opera”.

Their new CD “Milieu” shares the same basic premises as “Opera”. All kinds of sound sources are used and organically integrated in the songs, which move freely somewhere between the composed and the improvised.

Even if “Milieu” makes use of experimental methods, the album is argumentably more songbased than “Opera” and therefore maybe more accessible.

“Milieu is Björn Olsson as seen through Gastr del Sol's lens — or Pascal Comelade influenced by the Nordic winds instead of the Spanish sun. Peaceful, slightly melancholic, impressionistic without sounding tentative, Milieu delivers a very coherent half-hour of music. [...] Recommended despite its brevity.”
Rated 4/5, François Couture, All music guide

“Tape succeeds where other "folktronica" acts noodle themselves into a corner or fall prey to an over-determined laptop. On Milieu, the trio's second album, the compositions are carefully and emotionally layered, a midnight Fahey/Parch pantomime against a rusted silo.”
Rated 7.9/10, Brandon Stosuy, Pitchfork

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。評價指數:8.5/10
我喜歡的類型。我喜歡的類型主要有兩种:寧靜柔和得令人陶醉,另一種bizarre、weird得讓我能夠在音樂中肆意放縱。Tape這張專輯屬於前者,尤其是在這樣一個平安之夜,我真的覺得自己好需要它啊,感謝上帝給我這樣一張美麗田園一般的好音樂陪我度過一個祥和安靜的平安夜,有了它我沒有感覺到寂寞與孤獨。朋友在網上問我爲什麽還不睡覺,在等聖誕老人嗎?我笑著給了他肯定地回答,是的,我在等聖誕老人還有他給我準備的禮物。:)伴著音樂,感受著這份屬於我一個人的自由自在的平安。
