Брит-Поп и мелодичный рок.

Щас удивлю!
Я люблю ENUFF ZNUFF с 1991 года. У меня есть почти все их альбомы, кроме сборников, и даже сольник Донни Ви. О да! Это великая группа, и я рад, что их мало кто знает, как это не удивительно. Наверное я эгоист.
У нас в Южно-Сахалинске эту группу, кроме меня, в принципе, никто не знает.

А я послушал, и мне как-то средне показалось, в чем изюминка-то?

А что именно Вы слушали? Какие именно песни? Альбомы? Давайте пройдемся по конкретным песням, у ENUFF ZNUFF очень хорошая лирика...

2UPM:
А что такое Южно-Сахалинск?

2UPM:
шютка,канюшня

Южно-Сахалинск - это как Москва, только побольше...

Welcome to Blue Island. Мне в схожей стилистике чуть больше почему-то понравилась группа Guided by Voices.

Послушал я остальные альбомы ENUFF ZNUFF и мне тоже понравилась их лирика.
Шумные-то вещи я ,вообще, не очень люблю, а вот спокойные у них -Просто Класс!!!
Особенно понравились: . Innocence из альбома Animals With Human
Intelligence (1993), All Alone и Invisible из альбома Paraphernalia (1999)
Действительно, вся лирика у них хороша. Ну а вообще-то, это дело вкуса.

The First Comprehensive Survey Of U.K. Indie Music, Rhino's 4-CD The Brit Box, Hits U.S. Shores October 2

Though the British Invasion of the 1960s has been well documented, the wave of U.K. bands that followed in the wake of '80s post-punk hasn't -- until now. Rhino's 4-CD set THE BRIT BOX: U.K. INDIE, SHOEGAZE, AND BRIT-POP GEMS OF THE LAST MILLENNIUM is the first collection anywhere to chart the rise of cool Britannia.

Due October 2, THE BRIT BOX gathers key recordings from 78 U.K. performers spanning the last 15 years of the 20th century. While many of these artists enjoyed superstar status in England, with just a handful of exceptions few dented the American charts -- for the most part, only the pasty-looking outsiders and college kids willing to dig through their local import bins got to hear this stuff on release.


Independent record companies have always been the lifeblood of alternative rock, but what makes a disc "indie" goes far beyond the label it's on. Unlike punk groups, indie bands don't reject mainstream music so much as co-opt it for their own ends. On the first CD of THE BRIT BOX, seminal artists like The Smiths, Jesus & Mary Chain, and The Stone Roses take good old fashioned guitar-pop and turn it into something fresh, while groups like Happy Mondays and Primal Scream borrow gleefully from hip-hop to give birth to acid house.

By 1990, the British press was up in arms over acts that spent more time looking at their feet than their audiences and, for better or worse, disparate bands like Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Lush, and The Telescopes were lumped together as "shoegazers." Disc Two of THE BRIT BOX looks beyond the performance style to show that their records did have sonic similarities, emphasizing introspective soundscapes, hazy guitars, and dense production -- a style currently enjoying a (typically understated) revival.

Disc Three of THE BRIT BOX opens with Suede's "Metal Mickey," a shot across the cultural bow heralding the arrival of Brit-pop. Another term bandied about frequently (and often derisively) by the U.K. rock press of the mid-'90s, "Brit-pop" reflected a newfound confidence in the English music scene, and bands like Oasis, Blur, Pulp, and Elastica reveled in the highlife as hit singles seemed to pour forth effortlessly (a tuneful bacchanal immortalized in the 2003 documentary Live Forever). The final CD of THE BRIT BOX shows that even latecomers to the party like Ash, Super Furry Animals, Mansun, The Verve, and Placebo had some smashing songs in them.

There are enough art school refugees peopling these bands that Rhino's design team felt compelled to go bonkers. THE BRIT BOX is housed in a 6"x12" box depicting a traditional English phone booth illuminated with a battery-powered flickering light bulb! The photo-filled 80-page accompanying book includes a foreword from Creation Records founder Alan McGee, an essay by Select

A labor of love years in the making, THE BRIT BOX follows such previous collections as Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era and Left Of The Dial: Dispatches From The '80s Underground in the proud Rhino tradition of dicing up pop music's past four CDs at a time. But more than mere history lessons, these anthems for Anglophiles remain incredibly catchy today (and offer proof that the recent American success of groups like Coldplay, Keane, and Snow Patrol didn't occur in a vacuum).

В Москве пройдет фестиваль «Новое британское кино»

...

Британцы по-прежнему успешно эксплуатируют стереотип, что туманный Альбион – главная музыкальная кузница планеты. Если на прошлогодний фестиваль привозили ленту про ныне почти забытого основателя группы «Роллинг Стоунз» Брайана Джонса («В Дурмане» / STONED), то в этот раз музыкальная часть состоит уже из двух картин, правда документальных. Это «Скотт Уокер – человек XXX века» («Scott Walker: 30 Century Man») Стивена Кижака и «Жить вечно» («Live Forever») Джона Дауэра. В первой ленте зритель услышит из первых уст рассказ о том, как творчество Уокера повлияло на Дэйвида Боуи, Брайана Ино, Стинга, Джонни Марра, Radiohead и т.д.. Во второй узнает о перипетиях становления и заката «бритпопа»: начиная с исторического концерта 1990 г. прародителей стиля – группы The Stone Roses и грандиозного шоу Oasis в Небуорт в 1996 г. до прихода к власти Тони Блэра в 1997 г. Здесь и Лиэм и Ноэль Гэллэгер из Oasis, 3-D из Massive Attack и Джарвис Кокер из Pulp и многие другие.

До сих пор злюсь, что в Питере не будет. Так хочется посмотреть фильм про Уокера! :(

- Да, Allchange самый лучший у них в дискографии. Очень живой, мелодичный. да и в целом во всем бритпопе далеко не самый последний.


Приезжай в мае или летом в Москву - тут этого бритпопа будет просто навалом - Supergrass, Андерсон, Travis и т.д..

Горыныч, спасибо большое за приглашение!
У меня были другие планы на лето, но всякое может быть, вдруг и в Москву занесет :) Supergrass и Андерсона очень бы хотела увидеть, а к Travis равнодушна.

Вот этих очень очень хочу увидеть ;)
