It seems to be the only way to get rid of boredom in this era, and the slogan cry has been transformed into an inclusive material foundation with the spiritual poverty of Chinese rock. Taste is still hidden in the pockets of a few people, while most people still blindly follow the limits of entertainment, which leads to the gradual collapse of the spirit. It is hard to say whether the world is crazy or ourselves; The story of beans and beanstalk continues; And it's getting worse ... If there's still emotion, if there's still strength, after a real transformation between spirit and flesh, maybe we should know how to continue on this road ... even if it's numb! This is the anomaly of Chinese rock after ten years of wind and rain-Zi Yue Band

a handwritten book with folk wisdom and a freehand Chinese painting

In the course of modern music in China for more than ten years, Zi Yue Band chose life with their unique sensitivity and tried different music. No matter from the name of the band or the expression of music, "Zi Yue" reveals a strong China temperament, and the national blood here is no longer a mere formality, but based on life itself. They are far away from impetuous noise and shallow utilitarianism, quietly grinding and maintaining the resources that our ancestors and we have. It is a pure "China" band that promotes rock music from primitive anger to humanistic thinking.

The lead singer Akino's persistence has never changed. He believes that nothingness is only a representation of the status quo, and blind flicker is just a short-lived and irresponsible self-touching behavior. The continuous disintegration of concepts confirms the serious textual research on the variation of every China person in the times, which means "being happy" and "not being happy". In this mixed-structure era that is no longer pure, the advantages and disadvantages are directed at our roots and roots, which is particularly important ... < p They definitely belong to the world because of their artistic anomalies.

since its establishment in 1995, although only two albums have been released, the first volume in 1996 and the second volume in 22, the number is small, but once the works came out, they caused strong repercussions inside and outside the circle. They won the title of "Very China, Very Modern, Very Folk, Very Rock", and were elected as pioneers and representatives of "humanistic rock". Their unique music style is also known as "Zi Yue Rock" in many music types ... However, these praises are only a joke for them to look back on interesting things after drinking for 3 days. They just believe and hope that "Zi Yue" will always be. Sticking to the truth, refining and amplifying life ...

There is no doubt that ideals need people to complete, so after nearly two years of pains, a brand-new lineup of "Zi Yue Qiu Ye" has come, and after injecting fresh blood, it is more plump and energetic. They have jumped out of the "hit the nail on the head" in the first volume and the "punch" in the second volume, and sublimated into more intense and humanistic personality music. With the lost belief, it is still broad, open, simple and pure, and it is still the mortal concept of "all emotions are articles, and all tastes are not preached". The plain and quaint soundtrack, simple and playful lyrics, outstanding instrumental interpretation and the unique style that Akino and Wenlin can't match, there will always be some surprises on the scene of Confucius.

Introduction:

The practice of nationalization of rock music can be said to have never stopped since it landed in China, and many China national musical instruments, such as erhu, guzheng, pipa and Xiao, have also been tortured in various types of music. Looking at the smug expressions of those parties, anyone feels as if they have completed an epoch-making mission of combining Chinese and Western.

only regret! A piece of music that is actually pure western COPY, or a piece of original folk music before or after or in the middle, can only be said to be an ornament at best, and it has become a national thing, or it may be caused by the long-term national inferiority complex, which is too self-confident and blind. Until there was "Confucius".

From the initial "Good Brothers" and "Zhouyi" to "Zi Yue", the name of the band changed, but the persistence in Akino remained unchanged. The blood of the nation is no longer a mere formality here. Let's take a look at three pieces of complete electroacoustic, but you can still feel the deep national complex in the small gap between the notes.

I have to mention Cui Jian again. If Cui Jian's appreciative comments on how brave younger musicians and Dou Wei were only verbal before, this time he took practical actions to make Zi Yue a signing band and became a record producer for the first time.

The identity of the bass player was undoubtedly exposed from the first song. "Darling" begins with a bass, which is half spoken and half sung, but after listening to it, the suffocating sound of * * * fully shows the difference in vocalization between China and the West, and then the dialect is attacked by China, and there is a familiar melody from the electric guitar, which only appears here.

"Relative" should be Akino's old work. In the early compilation of "The Fire of China", Akino recorded this song as a band of Zhouyi. You can listen to it as a love song, using a very conventional love song mode. However, under the background of erratic guitar chords, the sound of shaking is still strange, but it is more interesting. This kind of song may not attract you at first, but it will really be addictive if you listen to it too much. Oh, try it.

The Porcelain is also included in the works of the "Good Brothers" band of Akino Group, and it is still the beginning of practicing the bass. The works borrow the Seven Steps Poetry as another interpretation of the Porcelain, and there is also a bureaucratic tone in the middle, which is also very interesting. In terms of music arrangement, this work is also the closest to the traditional rock work.

Dream is undoubtedly an absolutely excellent work, and it is almost a perfect story arranged by music. Guitar, bass and drums fluctuate with the change of plot and mood here, almost abandoning the three-stage model and approaching the model of folk opera.

Deep in the Light has a very psychedelic opening, with two guitars, two chords and two effects facing each other, while Akino is singing with his throat, and all the vocal rules have long been thrown aside. The bass is jumping from beginning to end. In this music, you can't tell whether you want to be attached loudly or sit quietly.

"Things in front of the door"-it's so Beijing. Listening to the music and the old Beijing accent in autumn, old hutongs, old city walls, old teahouses and so on can't help coming to my eyes. The main song part finally has a western harmony, and Lao Cui has also played his signature trumpet here, which is simple and clear.

Wine Road is also an old work, which was once included in Rock Beijing 3. Here Akino made a naked display of China's culture, and a large number of folk proverbs were used properly and in place, many of which were not miscellaneous, much like a modern rock version of stand-up crosstalk. Xiao and China hit here, and the guitar bass drum is not only peaceful, but also very harmonious.

Throughout the whole album, you can hear all kinds of music types, national, rock and all kinds of rock music. All the details here have become the seasoning of Akino, and finally they are harmoniously integrated into his works. This is a veritable pot of China thick soup. With his invisible palm, Akino has wiped out all the thoughts that you may still want to trace back to the source. Just drink, and don't worry too much about the rest.

Introduction:

About seven years ago, I first heard the song "Zi Yue" in a rock album, which was called "Ciqi". This song was written in various ways. At that time, I could write a lyric in a decent way.
