It’s a nice kind of counter-balance to ‘The Nearer The Fountain…’, really. I’ve definitely needed a dose of something else after I finished that record. Steel pan drums and Casio MT-40s were always going to be a good cure.” 他继续说：「这真的很令人振奋，而我们也都 非常享受。对於「涌泉处越近...」这张专辑来 说，制作这些音乐真的是一种很好的平衡方 式。在完成这张专辑後我绝对需要来一点调 剂。钢鼓和卡西欧电子琴一直都是很好的疗癒 方式。」 This comes after last year saw the release oforillaz’ seventh album ‘Song Machine: Season One – Strange Timez’, before孭lbarn hinted a sequel to their 2010 third album ‘Plastic Beach’. 这一切来自於去年街头霸王发行第七张专辑 「歌曲机器：第一季－魔幻时刻」，当时 Damon 暗示了续篇与他们第三张专辑「塑胶 海滩」的关联。 Elsewhere in his interview with嘅ME, we also quizzed him about脷lur drummer Dave Rowntree’s recent comments about his hopes for a post-pandemic reunion漑f the Britpop icons. 除了他与 NME 的专访外，我们也同样询问了 他对於 Blur 的鼓手 Dave Rowntree 最近提出 关於 Blur 对於英摇後疫情时代的回归希望。 “Well, we did have a chat recently, but we haven’t really progressed further than that,” Albarn replied. “We did have an idea though; I’ve just been a bit busy at the moment obviously. When it happens, I’ll be made up.” Albarn added: “When it’s wanted, I’ll do it. I don’t want to foist that stuff on anybody unnecessarily.” 他回应：「的确我们是有聊一点，但我们并没 有对於这件事有更多进展，我们是有一些想 法，但我最近其实一直很忙，当他发生的时候 我会蛮期待的。」他并补充：「如果大家都想 要，我会做。我并不想将这些事强加在任何人 身上。」 Blur last played live together in March 2019氽uring frontman餸amon Albarn’s ‘Africa Express: The Circus’ gig in Leytonstone, London, where they performed ‘Clover Over Dover’, ‘Tender’ and ‘Song 2’.
