【艺术家】 Dextro 【专辑】 Consequence Music 【风 格】 后摇滚|实验 【发行年份】 2007 【专辑简介】 从音乐的整体结构和对节奏的感觉来看，Dextro的这张Consequence Music确实很像Boards Of Canada的音乐风格，但少了Boards Of Canada的音乐中所透露出的灵气，缺少了玲珑剔透感，然而Ewan Mackenzie却带来了阳光的微笑。 专辑中引入的采样声效非常丰富，但都是很普通的，并不出色，没有那种直穿耳膜般的感觉。结构上也没有多少特点，感觉不太好的就是固定的节奏部分太突出。Ewan Mackenzie在人声的运用上却很出色，这一刻出现的时候总是很感人，有点像Sigur Ros了。其中第八首carotenoid像是在阳光灿烂的早上从睡梦中醒来后伸懒腰时的感觉。 仔细看来，整张专辑确实没有多少值得称道的地方，要说推荐，我还真拿不出手，但不知为什么，聆听中总能悄悄地被感动那么一下子。。谁说打扮后的“女孩”才漂亮？也许打动我的是她朴素而真诚的眼神.[作者:冰矿心音] 

Dextro’s debut album, Consequence Music, follows a handful of EPs released over the last couple of years on Jumblefunk and Border Community, and proves to be a rather enduring collection of down tempo electronica with a nice personal touch. The solo project of Glasgow-based multi-instrumentist Ewan Mackenzie, Dextro charts a series of impressively crisp and warm psychedelic electronic moments over the course of this album. & \+ j9 @# n( [$ j% X!

Sure, the beats are lethargic, the soundscapes are languorous and the melodies finely crafted, but Dextro’s compositions have something of a perverse streak running through. Behind the soft brushes of analogue synths crawl darker and more disturbing tones and textures. An accomplished drummer and percussionist, who also officiates as part of experimental metal act Snowblood, Mackenzie injects elements of live drums throughout this record, giving his compositions more texture and body. Although he undertakes most of the parts himself, fellow Snowblood members David Tobin (guitar) and Graham Young (bass) lend a helping hand on Destroy The Future Of All Mankind and Itchy Boy respectively. While perfectly incorporated with Mackenzie’s electronic sections, Tobin’s contribution adds to Destroy… wonderful shimmering hue and ripples all the way through pianos and layered vocals.' @; p7 T0 @% G!

The general mood of the album is however extremely coherent all the way through and denotes great control and maturity. As Consequence Music flies by, it continues to resound as it fades away in the distance when Rotifer gently brings it to a perfect close.
