Compass, the Compass band that has been dormant for three years is about to release its new album, which will undoubtedly be a timely and enjoyable blood input and nutritional supplement for the increasingly tired domestic original music. . It has been three years since I heard any news about this band. During these long days and nights, they seemed to have gradually faded out of people's memories, approaching oblivion in the wash of time. Only occasionally, news about the band's former lead singer Luo Qi continues to remind us not to forget the existence of the compass. At the beginning of 1997, the Compass Band signed a contract with Beijing Jingwen Audio and Video Company, which collects the music of domestic high-quality original bands, and became its artist. At the same time, this was another band after Lingdian, Ziyue, No. 43 Baojia Street, and Tie Magnolia Band. A new army of Jingwen bands. Since then, the Jingwen Band Group has expanded to five bands, and with the addition of veterans Cui Jian and Yudi, it can be said to be large in scale and strong in strength. The current Compass Band is composed of all "Sichuan Army". They are lead singer Liu Zhengrong, keyboardist Guo Liang, guitar player Caidi, bassist Yue Haokun, drummer Zheng Chaohun and saxophonist Yuan Ding. Except for lead singer Liu Zhengrong, the other band members are He is the original band member of Compass. Liu Zhengrong joined Compass and became the lead singer after Luo Qi left the band in 1994, and he has been the lead singer ever since. For the Compass Band's last album, its musical value is actually far less than the story behind it, and this story can be said to be the only thing about the music of this album that still remains in people's memory. The true strength of "Sichuan Army". In this new album, *** includes "Can't Escape", "Yao Mei", "Who Do You Love", "Kurou·Life", "Wizard", and "Light Balloon" , "Spiritual Song", "Give Peace a Chance", "New Year" and "No More Thoughts" are ten works, all of which are original works released by the band for the first time: "Can't Escape" is a love song composed in 1992. There is no such popular sadness and sadness in the popular and easy-to-understand traveling rhythm. Instead, it appears in the music with a firm and calm face. The lead singer Liu Zhengrong's heroic and almost roaring singing makes people feel smooth and smooth. The overwhelming and vivid feeling of pain; the use of ethnic music materials in "Yao Mei" enriches the musical connotation of this album, and at the same time reveals the charm of this band's unique local cultural roots; in "Who Do I Love?" 》In this song, whether it is the keyboard player's right tone selection and sound field position, the lead singer's grasp of the mood of the singing, or the clear and flowing guitar solo SOIO in the interlude of the song, this song can be called a masterpiece. ; "Wizard" is a work about a dream state. The children's murmur before the music begins, the sudden stop of the music when the alarm bell rings at the end of the song, and the extremely exciting keyboard SOIO in the middle of the song all give the audience a great feeling. It gives people a new sense of hearing; the understanding of the meaning of green and peace in "Wither Life" and "Give Peace a Chance" allows people to feel the expansion of the band's thinking angle and the gradual maturity of their thinking; The confusion about life revealed in "No More Thoughts" shows the gray emotions and spiritual confusion common among today's youth. It shows a helpless state of existence under the weight of a depressed era, "No More Thoughts" "No idea" is escape and a way to liberation, but it is not the only one.
