They re-emerged into the smoggy Hollywood sunlight some months later with one of the seminal albums of the Alternative Nineties in the can. Those four young men were collectively known as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the album they made in the famed magician’s house, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. 九零年代初期，四个年轻人来到了坐落在洛杉矶Laurel Canyon大道上，老旧且据称闹鬼 的Harry Houdini大宅。几个月後他们交出了当年另类摇滚史上最具代表性的专辑之一。 这四人就是为人熟知的呛辣红椒，而他们在这间奇幻大宅中制作的专辑【血糖性魅】，今 年正好是20周年。 “With that album, we really grew into being the band that we always wanted to be,” Flea says. “It was like we took what was great about us and just gave a lot more depth to the instruments and structure. The album really captured a space and a time that was exciting and fun.” Flea说： 「在这张专辑中，我们真的变成了我们一直盼望成为的样子。我们呈现了我们最棒的一面 ，然後在乐器与结构上深掘。这张专辑真的捕捉了当年的氛围，很刺激很有趣。」 The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ fifth album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik was the band’ s second record with John Frusciante, who was the third major RHCP guitarist. (Fifth, if you count the fleeting tenures of Blackbird McKnight and Jack Sherman.) Frusciante had played on the previous Red Hot Chili Peppers album, Mother’s Milk, but was new to the band at the time and hadn’t quite found his footing. When sessions for Blood Sugar Sex Magik rolled around, however, he had grown confident enough to express his own mercurial personality through the band’s music. “John was really coming into his own as an artist at that time with us,” Flea says. 红椒们的第五张专辑【血糖性魅】，也是第二张John参与制作的专辑，他是红椒中第三任 吉他手(或是第五任，如果你把Blackbird McKnight以及Jack Sherman也算进去的话。 )John在前一张的【母奶】专辑中便已经参与其中，然而当时他还未站稳脚步。到了【血 糖性魅】时期，他则已经具有足够的自信，去表达自己对於专辑制作的意见。Flea说： 「John当时真的变身成一个独立的艺术家。」 Blood Sugar Sex Magik was the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ first album for Warner Bros. Records (they’d previously recorded for EMI), and it was their first project with Rick Rubin. A bearded mountain of a man, and something of a guru figure, Rubin earned the band’s trust enough to help them shape songs and arrangements. It was the start of a fruitful creative partnership that continues to this day. 而【血糖性魅】也是他们由华纳发行的第一章专辑(之前都是EMI)，也是他们第一次与 Rick Rubin合作。一个胡须大叔，彷佛宗师形像般的，他得到了乐团的信任，以帮助他们 形塑专辑，便开启了延续至今的创作夥伴关系。 “It’s a trip to see how much Rick Rubin has changed from that point in time, ” Anthony Kiedis says. “Back then, he was just discovering the spiritual path. He’s very non-judgmental. When an evil bastard walks in the room, Rick Rubin doesn’t look on them like an evil bastard; he thinks, Well, maybe there ’s something good about that person. So he’s an interesting guy, and these days he’s in ridiculously good physical shape and health. A year and a half ago he just started exercising and eating smart. And now he’s this glowing Neptune of a person you find walking down the beach with some lovely Colombian girl. He’s just a different cat than he was 20 years ago. But at his core, he’s still a lover of music more than anything.” AK说： 「你可以看见Rick Rubin这些年的改变。在以前，他很注重心灵层面的追寻。他也非常客 观。他完全不会把一个邪恶的浑球当邪恶的浑球看。他会觉得，这个人或许还是有其他优 点。所以他是个很有意思的人，而这些年他的体态和健康都好得离谱。一年半前，他开始 健身跟节食。你现在可以看到他在海边跟可爱的哥伦比亚女孩厮混。他比起20年前真的不 一样了。但是他依旧是个热爱音乐胜过其他一切的人。」 Blood Sugar Sex Magik was phenomenally well received upon its September 24, 1991, release. Yielding a string of hit singles, including “Under the Bridge, ” “Give It Away,” “Suck My Kiss” and “Breaking the Girl,” the album kicked the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ career into a new dimension. It continues to be a favorite today and has sold more than 17 million copies. 【血糖性魅】於1991年9月24日发行。带来了多支热门单曲，像是“Under the Bridge,” “Give It Away,” “Suck My Kiss” 与 “Breaking the Girl”，这张专辑为红椒们 的事业开启新的一页。至今它仍是深受喜爱的专辑，而且销售成绩累积到一千七百万张。 “It’s tricky to think that 20 years have passed,” Anthony Kiedis says. “ When we play songs off Blood Sugar Sex Magik today, the last thing they feel is antiquated. I still have an absolute connection to playing those songs. It ’s not like I’m beating a dead horse when I play them. They’re still vibrant and connected to now, in some way. So I guess the album is holding up, standing the test of time.” AK说： 「没想到已经过了20年。即使我们现在演出【血糖性魅】中的曲目时，仍然不觉得过时。 我对这些歌曲的连结还是很深的。所以演出这些歌并不是在炒冷饭。我还是感受得到其中 的悸动与连结。所以我想这张专辑确实通过了时代的考验。」(编按：没错！！) --
