<p>好久没听Post Rock了，应该说好久没认真听专辑了才对。以前总是喜欢不断的找些新专辑来听，可惜现在时间越来越不允许我这样了。在xialala悠闲转了一圈后就找到了这张专辑，不过一点都不新了，是去年11月的专辑。不过确实是一张不错的专辑，貌似听过的来自爱尔兰的歌手跟乐队也不是很多，U2、The Cranberries、The Corrs，5只手指就能数出来了……所以Post Rock的估计这是第一次听了。<br />
事实上听完一次后我首先想到的是Mooncake的《Lagrange Points》，感觉很多歌曲的风格都很像，独白的感觉也有点像，甚至是歌名的风格。《Lagrange Points》的歌名跟封面可是我得最喜欢之一。纵观整张专辑的歌名及独白，我猜里面应该有一个完整的故事，当然这个故事是关于爱。总之整张专辑听下来感觉很舒服，要我选出最喜欢的几首有点难度，因为整张专辑都很好听。例如"Forgive Me"，作为整张专辑的开头，定下了整张专辑的基调，并且起到了它应有的引导作用，很自然而然的来到了第二首"Oceanica"，这首我很喜欢，首先旋律很合我意，特别是开头那缥缈零碎的鼓点及贯穿始终的钢琴。又例如"My Heaven Ends Disaster"，鼓点跟钢琴是亮点。还有接下来几首，"6619 Days Of Waiting"，整张专辑里最喜欢的歌名，旋律很优美，特别是开头那段。6619天的等待，这6619究竟包含了怎样的含义？无从查考。"You"，海浪声跟海鸟声，是在海边吧。听着这首歌，我会想起一个人。满满的思念之情啊。"Walking With Happiness"，之前低调的吉他在这首歌里终于有发挥了，虽然钢琴还是那主旋律。"I Just Want To Be Your Everything"，跟专辑同名的歌曲。含蓄而又富含激情的一首歌啊，感觉就像在宣泄自己的爱一样。后面三首就不一一详述了，不过最后一首"I"应该是跟"You"呼应的，有空要好好研究下几首歌里的独白，相信能理清这张专辑想表述的故事。

<p>五月份的一张专辑，由于太忙听了一次后就放起来了。现在再听感觉立刻出来了。之前去了一个星期香港还为忘了把这张专辑放进PSP里而懊恼。<br />
很有意境的一张后摇专辑。至少专辑的封面和名字以及歌名给我的感觉就是这样。而以Mooncake作为乐队的名字，究竟是因为喜欢中国还是喜欢月饼还是其他什么原因就不知道了。<br />
以5个拉格朗日点为名的几首短小的衔接曲很好的把其余歌曲连接在一起。<br />
第一首Nine Billion Names... (to A.Clarke)让我想起了Arthur C.Clarke的《The Nine Billion Names of God》。这是在向这本书致敬么？<br />
这首长达6分钟多钟的开场曲，优美的旋律贯穿至终，是我不得不停下手上的工作，细心思考着这旋律背后想表达的究竟是什么，跟67年的这本小说想表达的是不是一样。好吧，我只是觉得很好听，不想再思考他们的联系了。<br />
经过L2平缓中略带迷幻的音乐后，几乎无缝的过度到了第三首Message From Arecibo。这是我最近使用的MSN签名。Arecibo Message，这个射向M13星系用于跟外星人沟通的信号，究竟有没有被外星人截获到，没有人知道。但是如果真的被M13的外星人截获到的话，我们也等不到他们回应的那一天。除非你有几万年的寿命。这首歌就像是Arecibo Message，我突然觉得我就是M13星系上的生命体，接收到来历不明的信号。当然我很快的就解读到了信号里所包含的一切：一个遥远的未知的星球，数量庞大的奇怪的生命体……<br />
Rain In The Ashtray暂时来说是我最喜欢的一首，在去年的EP《More Oxygen,I Said...》中就收录了这首。迷人的旋律，营造出一种迷离的氛围。英语水平有限，不值弄不懂歌名的含义。Ashtray究竟指的是什么呢？不过这不重要，我只需知道这究竟是怎样的雨就够了。</p>
<p>未完待续……</p>
