标题Re: Les Rallizes Denudes

听了几首,忍不住先跳上来说几句。
在网上看了几篇介绍,每篇都不能免的提到 Velvet Underground,大致上是
指此团地位有如日本的 Velvet Underground,同时音乐亦根源於 VU。但实际听
来,Les Rallizes的音乐风格与 VU相差甚远。
歌曲动辄长达十分钟以上,曲曲皆是段迷幻旅程。尖锐刺耳的吉他噪音漫天盖
地而来,吵杂地嘶吼着、扯着听者的耳膜。主唱轻轻地唱着,听似漫不经心,营
造出一个迷离的空间,喃喃地唱些什麽已不是重点。在几首曲子中由於吉他去旋
律化,节奏组的贝斯反升为要角,靠着简单重复的旋律支撑曲子进行。(顺带一
提,好样的贝斯手後来参加赤军连,参与了当时轰动国际的北韩劫机事件)
录音极差,原本就已开足 feedback的吉他与主唱的回音甚大,但效果却出奇
的好,各种声音交织一片,为整体迷离梦幻的空间再涂上一层雾样的色彩。
虽不懂歌词在描绘什麽,但由这个团进步的意识型态看来,那或许是个挣脱一
切枷锁的美丽世界。简单几言,说不尽这个团传奇的历史,也说不清他们传奇的
声音。最好的办法,还是去找来一听吧!
以下转贴 AMG对此团的介绍
Though Les Rallizes Denudes, also known as Hadaka no Rallizes, were one
of the earliest and most revolutionary Japanese psychedelic rock bands, and
have existed off and on through four decades, they are also one of the most
obscure, barely known even in their native country. This cult of
noise-terrorists shrouded themselves in mystery, seldom touring and releasing
very few records, usually with no discernible label. Their sound presages
the later psychedelic experimental noise of Fushitsusha, High Rise and others
in the current crop more than any other Japanese psychedelic group from the
late '60s.
Revolving around guitarist and vocalist Mizutani Takashi, Les Rallizes
Denudes formed in November of 1967 at Kyoto University, inspired by Exploding
Plastic Inevitable-era Velvet Underground as well as the over-amplified rock
of lue Cheer. By 1968 they were gigging live and even began a regular
collaborated with an avant-garde theater troupe, which ended the next year
because of Les Rallizes's penchant for extreme volumes of sound. Not only did
they use massive amounts of feedback at loud volumes, their stage shows used
strobe lights, mirror balls and other effects for a live experience that was
a total sensory assault.
The group also aligned themselves with radical left-wing politics, performing
at the front lines of student demonstrations against Vietnam and even the
student occupation of Kyoto University in April of 1969. One original member,
Wakabayashi, was involved in the Japanese Red Army hijacking of a flight to
North Korean, known as the Yodo-go incident, and because of Mizutani's own
connections with the Red Army, the group's gigs became more infrequent and
clandestine. The band didn't record much in the studio, and the only music
of theirs to come out on vinyl at this time was one side of the double LP
compilation Oz Days Live released by Oz Discs in 1973. In fact Les Rallizes
kept going throughout the '70s and '80s without releasing a thing, and then
suddenly they put out three CDs of archival recordings in 1991, and a video
the next year. Of these, the double CD/LP '77 Live highlights them at the
top of their form, with 10- to 20-minute tracks of intense guitar feedbacks
and drones over repetitive rhythms and heavily distorted vocals.
Les Rallizes played their final gig in October of 1996, nearly thirty years
after their inception. All their albums were released in very limited
quantities, and are extremely difficult to find with collectors grabbing
them up immediately when they show up in stores and catalogs. Because of
the group's reputation for secrecy and violence, as well as the difficulty
in tracking down their recordings, Les Rallizes Denudes has taken on an
almost mythic status.
