My Life as Open Source

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

因為AMK 的Anson 到訪和網友Guy 提到AMK的唱片,想在這裡播一播AMK的歌,仿傚iTMS 的iTunes Essentials,先放一些易聽/入門的出來。得到這張EP Boxset過程很神奇,在收音機聽到吹波糖政治,喜歡到不得了,當時還是初中生,零用錢不用多,沒有錢買碟,幾年後在Netvigator 的Newsgroup 談音樂,說起這張唱片,有位網友自問不懂欣賞,「竟然」慷慨地用郵寄方式送給我,多年後的今日,我仍很感謝這位網友(儘管已失去聯絡),他的網名是AK47。

  1. Nine Inch Nails 新碟的幾首歌 ,試聽了一下,感覺不錯,尤其是 Everyday is exactly the same 和 All the love in the world 繼承了 The Fragile 的風格,比較靜態,帶點 Atonal 的元素,很合我的口味[IMG]

  2. kulashaker的k是我的一貼清醒劑。功效神奇。

    t t : 可惜Kula Shaker 後勁不繼。

    pcheung: 也有聽過Keane,確是不俗。

  5. Thank you for streaming the music.

    I remember a long time ago when I have brought the Kula Shaker “Govinda” single (before the album K was out), none of my mates knew what the lyrics was, and it sounded astonishingly much like “Open V.a.g.i.n.a. gina, Open…” (I’m sorry for the rudeness)

    哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈,笑死我!

  7. Are they by Apocalyptica? Just wondering…

    I don’t think I like the first 2 I’m afraid (a little strange as I was hearing Kurt Cobain’s voice in my head and…violin@@); but the last 2 are good :)

    不是呀,Apoclayptica 好像只玩過Metallica,這些歌都是由various artist 演奏的。

  9. I see, thanks for telling me. They all sounded really good (I mean the musicians). Also, Apocalyptica tours with Metallica sometimes, saw them in a festival once (Download in UK) playing before Metallica, who was headlining.

    Speaking of songs, I have uploaded songs onto my radio…although should really be revising, I am doomed :-P

  10. 「天國的楷梯」和原版有得Fight呢。

    Led Zeppelin果隻斬柴佬大碟,都係我CD架上珍藏之一,重記得當年屋企附近間CD shop,成隻黑膠版斬柴佬放係收銀機隔離供奉tim

  12. When I was in boarding school (about 10 years ago) we used to have a HUGE poster of Jimmy page holding a double neck guitar (most likely playing “stairway to Heaven”) in our dormitary and we as guitarists worship that poster…sounds stupid, but I will still do it :-P

    The violin version is good :-D , the only thing missing was the solo, which I felt was a pity.

  13. nikita
    17:04 on May 6th, 2005

    無塵先生:哈哈! 供奉Jimmy Page 也很正常呀。

    電鋸:wikipedia 的Stairway to heaven 一頁最尾也提到它是韓劇的英文title.

    pcheung:個人認為斬柴農夫一碟是他們最經典的專輯。

  14. 同意。

    雖然六十年代的音樂界人才濟濟﹐不過能夠做出一張完美的大碟的樂隊其實不多
    (時至現在﹐『完美』──音樂造詣一流﹐毫無悶場的大碟手指腳趾數得完)﹐斬
    柴佬(雖然官方名稱為『未命名』﹐但我覺得這個名稱好得意 :-D )是其中一張。八首歌﹐首首都是經典。

    其實﹐當我看『天國的階梯』聽到『Stairway to Heaven』的時候﹐還真的覺得意外﹕『呵呵﹐Led Zeppelin連韓國人都認識啊(起碼編劇認識)。』

  15. nikita
    00:58 on May 7th, 2005

    下?你有看「天國的階梯」?仲聽到配樂有Stairway to Heaven?

  16. I was forced to watch it with me wife (she forced me)@@.

    If I remembered right, it was the last episode, sometime when the main female protagonist found out that she will die from cancer, there’s some string music as background, and it’s the verse of “Stairway to Heaven”. :)

  17. Thank you first Nikita for uploading the four songs, I certainly enjoyed it. :)

    Mmmm…judging from the four songs, seems to me that Trent is going back to his old days, put electronica first and less distorted guitar sonunds. The four songs, music wise, are softer even than some songs in ‘The Fragile’, however I do like them because it’s more like how he used to make his music, the songs’ arrangements are certainly better, it’s more natural, flow better, and less showing off.

    The first two songs are ‘The Fragile’ like whilst the last two sounds mysteriously like dance tunes (probably because of their beats). The lyrics are much softer than before (compared to Downward Spiral anyway). Trent had moved on, which I think is good. I think I will buy this album rather than downloading it from BT :p

    我是不太喜歡Fragile 的,With Teeth 我還未聽完,每次總是沒耐性。

  19. No patience?

    I actually quite like the fragile, because he’s trying out different things, and NOT relying on the formula he had for downward spiral, which is good, but I know alot of die hard NIN fans don’t like the fragile either, and same goes to this new album.

    I’m still contemplating Tool, so better get back to it (and my exams of course). Thank you again :)

  20. weezer’s new album’s out!

    Nikita,
    hey I used the way you post mp3 on my page.. I downloaded your swf file and copied your object and embed code… :) i hope it’s ok! (i think it’s better than posting the mp3 link directly…)

  22. nikita
    10:57 on May 14th, 2005

    冬冬: Be my guest!

  23. 嗯,我也是 NIN 的 fans,不過還未拿 With Teeth 來聽.
    The Fragile 跟 A Downward Spiral 我都覺得很不錯,不過可能是先入為主的關係,我是喜歡 The Fragile 多一點的。(Downward Spiral 是我最後買的一張大碟。)
    Anyway, 還是感謝你 upload 這四首新歌。

  24. 唔,剛聽了 Everyday is exactly the same, 很有 The Fragile 的味道.

  25. hi, a friend sent me your blog. it is really nice… :) i espeically like the interface :)

    thanks for the music.
    i think using blog sharing music is wonderful.
    and… i also like Keane a lot too :)

    Anson, thanks for your comment, I’m so excited and flattered that someone would show other my blog. I’ve always been a big fan of AMK, you are a very skilled and talented artist.

  27. 要唱返首:年齡尚幼尖沙咀裡飄蕩!

  28. nikita
    20:09 on May 23rd, 2005

    係啦,搞到我都想播AMK 的歌添。

    08:53 on May 24th, 2005

    yee…冇lum歌之王”浪漫是你的本性” 既?

  30. 都未到果隻碟!

  31. nikita
    10:44 on May 24th, 2005

    我呢樹不設點唱。

  32. 對音樂認識不多,但【荔園】音樂很好聽,好有feel,拍青春電影之很好插曲,總之正,
    男聲令人想起 夏金城,城市傳奇人物,但香港今非昔比,風流人物俱往矣。
    多看了妳的站,好!

  33. I have just ordered this box set from Amazon last week. It is 2nd hand. It has not yet arrived. Hope I can receive it safely.

    Is the packaging a normal CD case or a box? I wonder whether it will fit into a my mailbox.

  34. nikita
    22:07 on May 24th, 2005

    katana:多看我的站?隨緣吧。男主音的唱腔當年被不人歧視架陰公。

    Guy:下?Amazon 有?其實有一首歌我是沒有的,就是「請讓我回家」了。

  35. Yes. I found one second hand copy from Amazon. Lucky!

  36. And the product descirption of this boxset in Amazon says “Rare 4-piece from Japan that sound a lot like My Bloody Valentine or The Cure”.

    Interesting.

  37. nikita
    01:03 on May 25th, 2005

    Guy: 剛才我找了一下,可惜只有Love EP。也看到了介紹。似嗎?不過我少聽My Bloody Valentine 和The Cure。

  38. seems i like 【荔園】so much,,

  39. I used to have My Bloody Valentine’s “Loveless”. I found it rather boring and sold it. The songs by AMK above does not sound like My Bloody Valentine to me.

    I think the song 黑色莎莎 from AMK’s other album is an excellent Post Punk song and reminds me of Joy Division. Listening to the song 黑色莎莎 is like travelling in a speeding car, 好風馳電掣 feel. The syn riff is fantastic.

    Love will Tear us Apart by Joy Division also has brilliant syn riff and 風馳電掣感覺 (because of the drums).

  40. d編曲越聽越過引

  41. nikita
    01:50 on May 26th, 2005

    Guy: 噫!我現在才留意到原來你是Mac user,有用過Camino 嗎?表現比Firefox 更出色啊。黑色莎莎會在下一次update 時播出。

    Katana:嘿,上癮了嗎?

  42. I haven’t tried Camino. 未出 version 1.0 所以不敢試.

  43. nikita
    20:29 on May 26th, 2005

    現在的0.8.4 已經不錯,如果你仍是用Panther 的話,可以一試。

  44. 我當年都係初中認識AMK, 初初認識o既歌就係”請讓我回家”同埋 “為了你我甘心受困” … 久唔久都會拎番哩隻cd哩聽… 前排都岩岩買左翻唱的那隻新碟”in the name of AMK”, 都係original o既AMK 最正 ^^

  45. nikita
    01:04 on May 27th, 2005

    我知有人出了tribute 碟,不過興趣不大。其實請讓我回家收錄於那張專輯?

  46. 其實請讓我回家收錄於那張專輯?

    it is also named 請讓我回家 released in1995

    i think i better have the full song lists fore each cd on the web site. even i don’t stream them all, people can get more precise info.

    thanks so much for all your support and love for amk.

    01:19 on May 27th, 2005

    謝謝相告!哎呀!我偏偏買不到「請讓我回家」!

  48. 我有戴恩玲隻碟的電台promotional copy,在某電台樓下個「果皮箱」找到,甚至寫到明係比邊個dj既(係邊個就唔方便講),入面有查理的天使既AMK remix。Rare track,等我睇睇點樣響我個blog度stream。

  49. nikita
    10:44 on May 27th, 2005

    好呀! 大家不如一齊播AMK 的歌,至於stream 方面,可以試下用 Flash Filter Plus 呢個plugin。

  50. 你d mp3 音效似乎好過anson介紹果個資料網

  51. nikita
    22:59 on May 27th, 2005

    電鋸:邊個DJ 呀?比個暗示好喎?

    katana:Anson 果網上的歌是Realplayer 的format,音質係差一點的,我的mp3 是192kbps 來的。

  52. DJ? 早幾年響下午節目亞視教過煮飯那位男性。仲有一個姓任…呀,佢姓陳架好似。


  53. 06:52 on May 30th, 2005

    你好呀。。我…唔識你架><
    但係…有一日無啦啦search search下就搵到你既日記..

    多謝你的欣賞呀,你過獎了,我是胡扯的居多。

  55. yes, the quality of the amk songs are not good. i will redo the encoding later. when i started the website, i have limited storage. so i encode the rm not in full quality. now i have a lot of storage. so, mp3 on the blog’s loading music category, are in pretty good quality now.

    the Flash Filter Plus is nice, after i change my sound blog to word press, i will try it, this is the tested version on iblog http://www.soundmarking.net

    i also like the plug-in on this blog. siu o’s web site is very good. check it out
