The Chemical Brothers - 1997 - Dig Your Own Hole
专辑介绍：
To follow up their bombastic 1995 album Exit Planet Dust, the Chemical Brothers fine-tuned their bombastic beats and produced a rock-solid pop album (pun intended). Dig Your Own Hole finds the common ground between rock & roll and techno, both in spirit and substance. Singles like "Block Rockin' Beats," "Elektrobank," and "Setting Sun" (featuring vocals by Oasis's Noel Gallagher) may lack the big hair and pomposity of rock music, but they make up for it in spades, with sampled and real guitars battling for space with sirens and distorted hip-hop drums. The album reeks of pure enthusiasm and energy, evoking a crowd-pleasing exuberance that makes Dig Your Own Hole a Back in Black for the late 1990s. Pure stadium techno.

这是"化学兄弟"最著名的一张专辑。
在当今如火如荼的英国舞曲浪潮中，The Chemical Brothers是无可争议的顶尖团体，Tom Rowlands和Ed Simons两人的天才发挥使跳舞音乐与摇滚乐达到了革命性的融合。《Dig your Own Hole》正是这种融合的经典产物，当这两个家伙用机器弄出比重金属还雄浑比朋克还狠辣的声音时，你完全有理由相信这已经是数字时代。强劲轰鸣的吉他噪音，变幻无方的节拍设计，峰回路转的结构编排，狂乱躁动的声响气氛。一旦你被他们的化学魔法所吸引，便会深陷其中不能自拔。 相对于第一张专辑《Exit Planet Dust》来讲，这回的化学反应更为强烈和迅猛，无论是专辑名称还是开首曲"Block Rockin'Beats"都仿佛在昭示：Rock的时代已经过去了！疯狂的鼓点加上激荡的Bassline，一派狂放的景象，正体现出当时年轻人对锐舞派对的渴望；迷离不定的Acid音效和激进有序的Break Beats是第二曲"Dig Your Own Hole"的主要构成，另外找来Ali Friend弹奏刚劲有力的低音结他是最佳的配衬；由 Brit Pop班霸Oasis的灵魂人物Noel Gallagher开腔演唱的Setting Sun是诸多媒体一致的热门推荐，我到认为，此曲恰恰显示出Noel的唱功不如其胞弟Liam,但是结尾处添加的离奇音效与歌曲开始时整齐的鼓点配合的到是相得益彰。
与黑白对比效果强烈的唱片封面相对而言，整碟包含了多种未来派的音乐元素，甚至在内封的设计上也大有讲究，如果你细心就会发现，有一张彩页居然是首张专辑封面的回应。

简直无语...
其实之前有一段时间很迷恋电子舞曲这一类型的音乐。
不过后来慢慢的淡忘了。
现在听回来，有些说不出的激情。
一起来舞动吧，像个白痴一样。
