Music played a crucial part in this writer’s college years, and there is a rosy glow over almost the entire bank of those music-linked memories.  A notable exception was an otherwise typical, blurry-eyed night with a best friend and a bottle of whatever was handy; our favorite pastime, on that particular evening, dampened by the “Repeat” button on another roommate’s stereo and the unfortunate fact that the song on the endless spin cycle was “Hotel California.”  Only that song, it seemed, could light a candle and show our industrious roomie the way to the end of his term paper.  Anything else would destroy the flow.

Enter (years too late) Cinder, an exquisitely crafted album seemingly custom-made for maintaining flows.  There is diversity within and between the songs, perhaps more than expected, but there is enough of a recurring theme or melodic motif that the album feels like one grand piece.  Although there are more tracks and shorter tracks, then, the band is still finding plenty of time to stretch and luxuriate.  Turned up loud, Cinder is often warm and all-enveloping; the 19 songs melding together like interwoven chapters of a book or film.  Turned a little softer, it can comfortably recede into the background, happy to serve as the score for brooding late nights (or whirlwind study sessions in front of a computer).

Dirty Three are an instrumental trio—violinist/multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis, guitarist/organist Mick Turner, and drummer Jim White—who, like many instrumental groups, are sometimes criticized for mining and re-mining the same territory where chamber music meets indie avant-rock.  However recycled, the criticism is often fair, and that’s even the case with Cinder, which does wander off on a couple extra tangents or spend a few superfluous minutes here and there (“Rain On,” for instance).  Partially because of this, the album feels a little top-heavy, with the thrills tapering off some during the final third.  But it’s difficult to imagine any hard-nosed producer who could chase out those static moments without sacrificing some of the band’s spontaneity and charm.

There are a number of black sheep on Cinder, starting with the likeably abrasive electric guitar jam on “Doris” and reaching the most obvious departure point when straight-up vocals are introduced at the album’s center, courtesy of the reliably riveting Chan Marshall (Cat Power).  Otherwise, Cinder unfurls itself patiently—a lush record that both gives and solicits introspection.

Oh, and it sounds nothing like The Eagles.

Dirty Three - Cinder

Text : 袁智聰

來自澳洲墨爾本的Dirty Three，是一隊以小提琴為音樂基調的搖滾樂園。

總覺得，一位優秀的小提琴演奏家，能令一隊搖滾樂團（或另類/獨立樂團）生色不少，所以素來對於陣中包括提琴樂手成員的樂隊，都蠻有好感、另眼相看。比方如迷幻的The Velvet Underground (John Cale)、Prog Rock的Curved Air (Darryl Way)、New Wave的Ultravox (Billy Currie)、Post-Punk / No Wave世代的Tuxedomoon (Blaine L. Reininger)以至香港另類音樂組合「盒子」（龔志成），一支典雅流麗的小提琴演奏，皆足以在其作品上產生奇妙的催化作用。

樂迷聆聽Dirty Three這隊三人樂隊時的焦點，也好自然落在其主將兼小提琴手Warren Ellis身上。

無論你把Dirty Three介定為Post-Rock還是Sad-core，甚至簡言之是一種Instrumental Rock，Warren一手提琴主奏已成為樂隊的聲音標記；當他拉動著提琴的弓桿，就猶如揮動起畫筆般，為其樂曲繪畫出引人入勝的圖畫。

Warren同時為樂迷津津樂道，是他自1997年的The Boatman"s Call專輯起，便正式加入成為「歌德之王」Nick Cave之精英樂團The Bad Seeds的成員（之前他早在94年已開始為Nick伴奏）。

成軍十三年的Dirty Three，他們亦在這年發表了樂隊的第七張專輯Cinder。03年的前作She Has No Strings Apollo裡有多首作品遠赴法國收錄（由Yann Tierson的錄音師Fabrice Lanrean為他們監製，而這次的Cinder則再次百分百在澳洲生產——於維多利亞州東南部Phillip Island構思，並在這年1月在墨爾本的Sing Sing Studios 以十天時間灌錄而成。

用小提琴唱歌
樂壇有過不少出色的三人樂團(Trio)，然而以小提琴、結他及鼓作為鐵三角配套的，Dirty Three無疑來得別樹一幟。

事實上，Warren Ellis以及結他手Mick Turner和鼓手Jim White皆屬獨當一面的樂手，在Dirty Three的作品裡，聽得出三人絲絲入扣的演奏，尤以Warren的小提琴與Mick的結他為達至水乳交融的境界——當然很多時Mick都退居在和弦的位置，好讓Warren擔綱主奏。

Warren盪氣迴腸的提琴，既可以古意盎然，也可以淡泊滄茫，甚至接駁上Distortion後更可以搖滾狂野起來。沒錯，Warren曾以個人名義出版過Three
Pieces For Violin這張Classical-Oriented作品，但他卻不獨是一名孕育自古典音樂的提琴手。在八十年代表Warren曾隨心儀的女生到歐洲放遂九個月，帶著一支小提琴隨行的他在蘇格蘭當地樂習了不少蘇格蘭及愛爾蘭傳統音樂，又到過匈牙利跟當地樂手交流。

Warren說過，Dirty Three所打造出，是完完整整的歌曲，而非從概念出發的氛圍或Soundscape音樂。有別於流行音樂是Dirty Three的歌曲乃由Warren的小提琴演繹出來——他，就仿如用小提琴來唱歌般。

細膩溫柔
由Casey Rice (Tortoise / Eleventh Dream Day/Chicago Underground Duo/Brokeback)監製的Cinder，當時樂隊帶著整車樂器進行錄音，務求令其作品有不同配器的來。有別於以往，是這次大部分曲目都只有三分鐘左右的長度，彷彿要以最接近標準流行曲的姿態去表現他們的音樂，故在感情上無疑來得更見細膩溫柔，更富人情味，而有別於前作She Has No Strings Apollo處處蟄伏著暗湧而來。

要聽Warren一手縈繞心頭、哀怨纏綿的典雅動人提琴演奏，像Any、Sad Sexy、Dream Evie、Too Soon, Too Late、This Night、In Fall都能讓你為之動容不已，他的小提琴，就像向大家細說故事般。

然而，Warren並非一位獨裁霸道的樂手，所以在Ever Since和帶點Country情懷的It Happened，主線也落在Mick的結他手上，Warren的提琴則退居在背景位置。甚至一曲Doris裡他們又再搖滾起來，還配以客席樂手Mick Saul的蘇格蘭風笛伴奏呢！而改編自Warren心儀的匈牙利小提琴手Felix Lajko作品The Zither Player，則發揮了Mick的流麗奔放Mandolin演奏，好有草原風情。

也喜歡Rain On和Ember這類很緩慢很幽悒的曲目。全碟最長是六分多鐘的Flutter，便再呈其Avant-Rock意味，很疏離而破落。

首次有主唱
Cinder之最大突破，是他們首次有歌唱作品。Great Waves由貓女Chan Marshall（又名Cat Power）主唱，觸動心靈的演繹，萬分動聽；未來Dirty Three還會在Cat Power的唱片客串呢。而Feral裡亦有列斯後崩樂團The Mekons的Sally Timms獻唱淒美的和聲。

看到3X贴张悬 新写的文真心水呀 灭哈哈哈 偶像。。之前她给萧潇写的《没有寄出的信》也好听的很。
