在介绍The End Is Begun之前我想有必要浪费一些时间就Three这只出色的乐队来罗嗦两句,即使他们在大量前摇乐迷心中已经占据了一席之地。有个八卦的消息,这5个美国小伙子是在1994年的Woodstock进行了一些演出受到了Universal Records的注意并且当年被这家全美最善于发现新人的公司签下。之后长达四年的时间里,Three一直潜心于自己新专辑的发行工作,于1998年推出了名为Paint by Number的处女作,同时展开了全球范围内的巡演。当然,在最初的一段时间仅限于参加一些诸如波兰金属音乐节这种以极端金属为主的聚会。毕竟,被世人熟知是需要时间的。
这大概是我今年听到的最为诡异的一张porg专辑了。要完全消化这样一张出色的作品需要大量的时间,因为Three不断的运用各种不和谐元素来乾扰我的注意力。我注意到很多国外的网友评论The End Is Begun是一张散发着强烈的古典气息的作品,并且用到了享受这个词。要知道在这个各种前卫元素泛滥的时代,能获的如此高评价的音乐可真是稀罕物了。Three的大部分音乐是团员集体创作的结晶。他们是一只以吉他为主的乐队,Billy Riker在演奏上运用了大量flamenco的弹奏方式。在这里需要注意的是Joey Eppard在演唱方式上经常使用一种属于自己的,不同于他人的那种风格,你可以从中感受到他非凡的爆发力并体验到非常强硬的感觉来。另外值得一提的就是他们的鼓手Chris 'Gartdrumm' Gartmann,他实在是把鼓点打的太过疯狂,以至于有歌迷怀疑Three发明了一种音色接近真鼓的鼓机:)当然,我保证任何人都可以在专辑中找到某些你喜欢的东西来。推荐给所有前卫乐迷,尤其适用于Porcupine Tree和Opeth的粉丝们。

Under a lover's sky Gonna be with you And no one's gonna be around If you think that you won't fall Well just wait until, 'til the sun goes down Underneath the starlight, starlight There's a magical feeling so right It will steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist Try to hide from my kiss But you know, but you know that you Can't fight the moonlight Deep in the dark You'll surrender your heart Don't you know, don't you know that you Can't fight the moonlight No, you can't fight it It's gonna get to your heart
There's no escape from love Once the gentle breeze weaves it's spell upon your heart No matter what you think It won't be too long 'til you're in my arms Underneath the starlight, starlight We'll be lost in a rhythm, so right Feel it steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist Try to hide from my kiss But you know, but you know that you Can't fight the moonlight Deep in the dark You'll surrender you heart Don't you know, don't you know that you Can't fight the moonlight No, you can't fight it No matter what you do The night is gonna get to ou Can't fight it, don't try it You're never gonna win
Coz underneath the starlight, starlight There's a magical feeling, so right It will steal your heart tonight You can try to resist Try to hide from my kiss But you know, but you know that you Can't fight the moonlight Deep in the dark You'll surrender you heart Don't you know, don't you know that you Can't fight the moonlight No, you can't fight it It's gonna get to your heart
