专辑简介

创立于1983年的DMC公司是英国第一间倡导DJ文化的唱片公司，过去20多年来对俱乐部文化一直起着举足轻重的作用，而该公司的系列唱片Back To Mine多少给人一种出自名门的感觉。Back To Mine的每一辑都会交由不同的音乐人去打理，音乐人会负责选曲和混音成沙发音乐，而选曲的原则是音乐人平日卧室里常听的私房音乐，单这一点已经能吊起乐迷的胃口，毕竟大家都想知道这些音乐人闲时是会听些什么。\nUltra Records的Back to Mine系列是展现一个电子乐队音乐品味的绝佳机会，其概念很简单：艺术家被赋予最大的‘编辑’自由，根据其品味选歌、编排、混音、制作出一张舞曲chill-out风格的专辑。\nAmong the flood of formulaic chill-out compilations, the Back to Mine series continues to surf stylishly, head and shoulders above the competition. Eleven albums in, it's the turn of veteran dance luminaries New Order to demolish any semblance of the genre's remaining restraints. Throwing continuity to the wind, they wantonly reflect the broad gamut of taste you might expect from one of the most influential acts of the past two decades. Kicking off with the psyche-blues of Captain Beefheart's raucous "Big-Eyed Beans," before skipping from Can to Cat Stevens and Missy Elliott to Mantronix, it's an absurdly eclectic, joyously eccentric free-form sonic rumble. Alongside contemporary tracks, such as the Doves' "M62 Song," come moments of spine-tingling genius: Joey Beltram's mesmerizing techno classic "Energy Flash" and Roxy Music's mock-sinister ode to an inflatable lady, "In Every Dream Home a Heartache." There's even something for collectors with Patrick Cowley's extremely rare mix of the Donna Summer classic "I Feel Love." Chill-out and Peter Hook were never going to comfortably coexist, so kick off the slippers and get ready for an evening of emotive and enduring music. --Christopher Barrett\nFrom URB Magazine\nThe Back to Mine series is an interesting concept: Get cool, influential artists to compile the perfect chilling-at-home-after-the-party set. But when you throw such a huge, volatile and inarguably monumental band such as New Order into the mix, what results is bound to be just as maddeningly brilliant as the creators. This installment proves that point in gratuitous fashion.\nOpening with the linear, post-blues abstraction of Captain Beefheart before dropping down into the languid opium den of Primal Scream’s classic "Higher Than the Sun," this mix is nothing short of a future music primer. It celebrates young black genius with the inclusion of Missy Elliott’s groundbreaking single "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" right next to the birth of alternative rock, the Velvet Underground’s "Venus in Furs." There’s the quirky Cat Stevens experiment "Was Dog a Doughnut?," which was turned into a disco hit by forward-thinking DJs of the ’70s. Joey Beltram’s moody techno anthem "Energy Flash" is here in all of its down-pitched glory, as is the Detroit techno architecture of Rhythm Is Rhythim’s "The Dance."\nRounding out the mix with Donna Summer’s proto-techno masterpiece "I Feel Love" and the requisite Can track, this edition of Back To Mine is one for old-school reminiscing or a nice introduction to the deep side for new kids on the block.\nAlbum Description\nVeteran electronic rock pioneers New Order (check- 'Blue Monday', 'Bizarre Love Triangle', 'Regret', 'Crystal') have delivered an inspired addition to the Back to Mine series! Perhaps more than any previous Back to Mine album, this oozes the bands sound. You can tell these really are the records that the band members have listened to and enjoyed over the years and it's not just a collection of obscure band faves either! Primal Scream, Missy Elliot, Velvet Undergound, The Doves, Roxy Music, Cat Stevens all make appearances, as well as some classic electro adventures from Mantronix, Joey Beltram, and Giorgio Moroder (acknowledged by lead singer, Bernard Sumner as a transitional influence on the then fledging New Order). The album also features the much sought-after Patrick Cowley mix of Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love'. Included are also many humorous and insightful sleeve notes, written by the
