短评
1 这是上海实验电子组合Aitar的第2张专辑,双张,分别是同名盘Aitar II和Tokyo Death,总长度不过55分钟。3年前他们发表首张专辑,轰动地下音乐圈,被《通俗歌曲》杂志评选为年度10大唱片。
Aitar II的开头延续着上一张的黑暗和紧张,但很快就像时光穿梭机一样滑向了新时代的空灵。他们使用了近年来电子原音常见的长音音色,甚至glitch的杂音,但仍然尊重了工业噪音的传统。如果说这个传统有太多的暴力倾向,那么Aitar从新的声音艺术中学到的,就是让暴力变成慢动作的梦幻,让未来主义美学变成怀疑论者的迟疑和发呆。在My Infirm Rain中,人声的暴力在不动声色的恍惚的节拍中浮现,纯净的低音和脆弱的杂音甚至不堪其轻微的撕裂。他们的杰出在于,让感觉的碎片拥有了一个开阔的精神背景,清淡的美和绝对的冷酷结合在一起,纳粹的幽灵在游荡,在噪音中咬着人们的耳朵。而人们也只能被咬、心痛。
即使上一张专辑,黑暗和混浊的潜意识也不是主要背景,因此不如说Aitar通过Tokyo Death,脱离了德式的脏,而转向了日本的洁癖。人们很容易就想到了Ryoji Ikeda剔透的音色和抽象的结构方式,但Tokyo Death仍然保持着文化的阴影——冷漠的死亡气息,在纯声音的诗意和低音、噪音的叙事情境之间荡漾。这些全都两分钟长的作品保持了简单的结构,以其理性的排列,成全了数字之美。——颜峻
2 Aitar 是B6和MHP化名的神秘组合。而他们的合作更像是两人的各自为政。两个乐手的曲目交替出现。受到工业音乐影响的MHP产品趋向高密度的块状的声音( 在曲目“SXZ COME”中,甚至使用了古老的纽伦堡会议的采样,而对于中国的年轻听众来说,只能对这种采样的隐含意义进行猜测)。相比之下,B6的作品较为复杂,特别是“Tokyo Death”那些组曲,是尖锐的,复杂的,并且容易让人感到困惑—— Keith Moline((the Wire杂志, issue 257)。

review:

Aitar present themselves as a duo consisting of the mysteriously monikered B6 and MHP, although in effect their release is a double-header rather than a collaboration, with each artist more or less alternating tracks with the other. the Industrial-flavoured MHP offerings tend towards dense, Isolationist blocks of sound (“SXZ Come” even opens with hoary old Nuremberg rally samples, whose significance for a young Chinese audience can only be guessed at). The more sophisticated work of B6, meanwhile, particularly on the “Tokyo Death” suite, is sharp, intricate and slyly disorientating. Both of these Sub Jam release serve notice of interesting creative developments in mainland China and are worthy of investigation.
