Sleepthief

很難想像其製作人兼編曲Sleepthief(本名Justin Elswick)的正職是個律師,而這張專輯更是他的第一張作品。這張發行於2006年6月的《The Dawnseeker 尋找黎明》絕對是2006年極致精彩的New Age天籟女聲專輯之一。

毫無疑問,這對Sleepthief來說是一個完美的開始,他在整張專輯中體現出來的對音樂的理解和操控能力甚至超過很多專業的音樂人。

人物介紹

專輯封面的設計走古代神話風,所有歌曲就圍繞著一個傳說展開。傳說的內容就是一個美貌的女子,忍受生死離別、靈魂被盜之苦,卻一直相信她的愛人會前來救她。這樣過了很多年也沒有人找到她,只有在夜晚路過山谷的人,偶爾能聽到風中傳來哀傷的抽泣……
從演唱陣容來看,所有擔綱的女歌手都是New Age類的常客,堪稱豪華陣容:Kirsty Hawkshaw經常與B.T.、DJ Tiesto、Delerium、Pole Folder等世界著名DJ合作並為其主唱、被譽為Trance界的最美女聲;Caroline Lavelle經常Radiohead、Loreena McKennitt、Massive Attack、B.T.等這些歐美大牌合作演出;Harland在Ferry Corsten、Delerium、Human II Human等的音樂中能聽到她的聲音;Kristy Thirsk參與了Delerium、Rose Chronicles等的音樂專輯製作;Jody Quine是Balligomingo樂隊主唱……
《The Dawnseeker 尋找黎明》花了Sleepthief兩年時間創作並製作完成。各大音樂網站均打出的5星滿分證明他的努力沒有白費,堪稱大氣、唯美、雄壯的完美之作。
Sleepthief's ”the Dawnseeker” slips into your world like a faraway dream and then it takes over your every waking hour as you find yourself lost in its endless intoxicating dream. At times mythological (Eurydice) and at other times modern (The Metro). The songs can at times sink deeply into an almost gothic romantic contemplation (Kiss to Savor).
”You Did a Good Thing” has an uplifting hopeful quality, while Kristy Thirsk's crystalline vocals are truly angelic and stunning within the celestial textures of ”Sublunar.” The silky sensual mood remains consistent throughout making this a perfect album to listen to while reading, say a novel. I loved listening to this while reading Broken Paradise.
If you love Lunascape, Balligomingo (Beneath the Surface), Zero 7 or Delerium or Kirsty Hawkshaw - Meta Message (she appears on The Chauffeur) you may find this intoxicating. If you love electronica, you may also want to take a romantic journey with ”The Attraction” by Evening Ocean.
”Just say that you love me
Alone and silent face to face
just say that you need me
Those words that swallow this empty space”
~Just Say It featuring Kyoko Baertsoen (Lunascape)
