還記得那對翻唱Pet Shop Boys的瑞典女子組合嗎,是是,是West End Girls,我記憶中當年她們除了引起媒體的注目外,口碑好像不怎麼樣。2008年今日聽到《點解》,咦,唔係,係《What have I done to deserve this》先真,找來頗有瑞典Morrissey感覺的Magnus Carlson獻聲,可能係男聲唱得特別好聽關係,係我第一次覺得佢地cover得同原版一樣咁好聽。

The Sound Of Arrows
Danger! EP
Label︰Labrador︱2008
聽了這張四月尾推出的The Sound Of Arrows首張EP【Danger! EP】一段時間了,包括在一二月間已經有得免費下載的單曲《Danger!》在內只有三首單曲,四首《Danger!》的四個版本remix以及一個intro與及Outro。The Sound Of Arrows動聽在於既保留了瑞典INDIE POP又或是Labrador一貫樂團的動聽旋律外,那把乾乾的男聲與及豐富好玩的電子音色都配搭出像唱片封面那個將現實與虛幻;真實感與卡通感融合的弔詭漫畫感。四個remix都各自各精彩,不會有呃錢之感之餘都真係好聽喎。(直接下載)
