乐队介绍
Goth Rock音乐阴暗、冷峻，充满宗教的虚幻感和神秘主义色彩。Bauhaus、The The、Modern English是这种风格的代表乐队。Bauhaus乐队由Peter Murphy、Daniel Ash、David Joy、Kevin Haskins 4位成员组成。 1980年Bauhaus在4AD旗下推出了3首单曲(分别是“Dark Entries”、“Terror Couple Kill Colonel”和“Telegram Sam”)和一张专辑唱片《In The Flat Fieold》。Bauhaus不仅在英国开创了Goth Rock一派，同时对Post Punk和其他地下音乐的发展产生了重要的影响。Bauhaus在推出1张专辑唱片后跳槽到Beggars Banquet公司，推出几张专辑唱片后宣告解散，主音歌手Peter Murphy独立发展，Daniel Ash、David Joy、Kevin Haskins组成了Love And Rockets乐队，延续着Goth Rock/Electronic Sound的艺术生命。
专辑介绍
此专辑听得不多，故不多评论。对第2首No Big Deal印象很深刻，No.5 - I Feel Speed被收入《断弦的耳朵》中，不过我并不觉得此曲有多么特别。So Alive是乐队发表的单曲，很有些味道。
"**** (Jungle Law)" - The sound this song has is actually cooler than the song itself. It's a neo-psychedelic sounding riff souped-up by sampled percussion and a stomping, almost plodding drone. The title stands for the "F" word which is also the name of the main character in the song, apparently a real loser. ***1/2
"No Big Deal" - another basic blues run cranked out with background guitar antics and more fuzz bass. ***1/2
"The Purest Blue" - an art piece featuring multitasker Daniel Ash on sax. Ash takes the lead vocals on the songs he writes, about half of them. Equally versetile partner David J writes and sings on the other half including this one. ***1/2
"Motorcycle" - great rocker propelled by 2 basses, loaded with guitar and bass feedback and a thudding beat full of riding cymbals from drummer Kevin Haskins. Towards the end, guitars evoke a motorcycle from hell accelerating into the stratosphere. ****1/2
"I Feel Speed" - a sort of coda or continuation of "Motocycle" (and the last song on the 1rst side of the original LP), this song is gorgeous and soothing save for the reemergence of the demonic motorcycle. ****1/2
"Bound for Hell" - Probably the most fundamentally blues-based tune on LOVE AND ROCKETS, with David J blowing harp and cool lyrics about, well, going to hell. David J starts out confessing his lack of faith and desire for something to believe in. He then relates a harrowing, darkly comical dream that wakes him with a start and sends him to his knees to pray. ****
"The Teardrop Collector" - a 50s style finger-snapper with a subdued, dreamy quality. Ash lays down those trademark L&R acoustic guitars and overdubs electric guitar and "ghost" keyboards that perfectly portay the rather downer "that's life" sentiment. ****1/2
"So Alive" - A fun classic that deserves the wide airplay it got. Ash sings the words, "I'm alive, so alive" like a 300 year old vampire in need of a blood fix. In contrast, the background singers are angelic. "I wish I could stop/ Switch off the clock/ Make it all happen for you." *****
"Rock N Roll Babylon" - a real switch after "So Alive," this tune is dominated by an acoustic guitar sound that heakens back to SEVENTH DREAM OF TEENAGE HEAVEN. Makes adventurous use of a miniature string section and more great sax from Ash, but seems to end rather abruptly. ****
"No Words No More" - Once again Daniel Ash confesses to being lazy as he did on "Lazy" from EARTH SUN & MOON. It seems to be a personal issue with him. Here he longs for, "No words, no reasons why." The song also illustrates another common L&R theme: a desire for paradise as a blissful, burdenless state. "No Words No More" is a fabulously dreamy song, largely aided by heavily processed vibes played by Kevin Haskins. It's a cool way to close the album. *****

这里我要感谢网友Cris，几乎我所有的Love And Rockets乐队的资源都是从他那里下载的，虽然我不认识他，但还是要感谢一下，呵呵。
