R.E.M.（快轉(zhuǎn)眼球樂(lè)隊(duì)）Rapid Eye Movement簡(jiǎn)介
R.E.M.（快轉(zhuǎn)眼球樂(lè)隊(duì)）Rapid Eye Movement介紹：將80年代的校園搖滾正名為90年代，甚至是21世紀(jì)的搖滾主流，R.E.M.就是那股推動(dòng)年輕世代搖滾精神里的不可漠視的力量，這支來(lái)自喬治亞州Athens市的樂(lè)團(tuán)面對(duì)英倫新浪漫搖滾、電子搖滾、饒舌搖滾的潮流替換，始終堅(jiān)持最純正的搖滾元素，R.E.M.用20多年的時(shí)光證明校園搖滾也可以是一支偉大的搖滾樂(lè)團(tuán)。 1980年4月，R.E.M.正式組隊(duì)，團(tuán)名是Rapid Eye Movement(意指做夢(mèng)時(shí)眼球會(huì)快速轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng))的縮寫(xiě).1987年以專(zhuān)輯《Document》與單曲“The One I Love”初次闖進(jìn)排行TOP 10，1991年，專(zhuān)輯《Out Of Time》創(chuàng)造樂(lè)團(tuán)巔峰，專(zhuān)輯直沖冠軍王座，連推“Losing My Religion”、“Shinny Happy People”兩首TOP 10單曲，并贏得****流行樂(lè)團(tuán)、另類(lèi)音樂(lè)與音樂(lè)錄像帶3座葛萊美獎(jiǎng)，此張專(zhuān)輯與Nirvana同年發(fā)表的專(zhuān)輯《Nevermind》為非主流樂(lè)團(tuán)響起號(hào)角，更為搖滾樂(lè)找回失落許久的年輕精神。
R.E.M.（Rapid Eye Movement）是一個(gè)精神病學(xué)和醫(yī)學(xué)名詞，意為"淺睡中的眼球跳動(dòng)"，是潛意識(shí)和夢(mèng)境最為活躍的時(shí)間。1980 年來(lái)自喬治亞大學(xué)的四位小伙子——樂(lè)隊(duì)的核心人物、主唱及主要歌曲創(chuàng)作者 Michael Stipe、吉他手 Peter Buck、貝司手 Mike Mills 和鼓手 Bill Berry --把它作為自己樂(lè)隊(duì)的名字，開(kāi)始了他們的搖滾生涯。R.E.M.是一支典型的變換樂(lè)隊(duì)，在主流搖滾世界的邊緣存活和發(fā)展。早期的R.E.M.有著鄉(xiāng)村、民謠的聲音，配以好象性質(zhì)上相斥的強(qiáng)勁的貝司線條和急進(jìn)的旋律，特別受大學(xué)生的喜愛(ài)。1981年，R.E.M.錄制了他們的第一支單曲《自由電波在歐洲》，然而并沒(méi)有在排行榜上取得任何成績(jī)，但卻成為大學(xué)校園無(wú)線電廣播臺(tái)的一位座上�？停谝院蟮氖畮啄陜�(nèi)，R.E.M.樂(lè)隊(duì)通過(guò)朋克音樂(lè)的結(jié)合并對(duì)古典搖滾作盡可能的改進(jìn)，在搖滾樂(lè)壇上創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)新的模式--強(qiáng)調(diào)了新?lián)u滾包裝和上演舞臺(tái)設(shè)計(jì)的重要性。
R.E.M樂(lè)隊(duì)的名字是Rapid Eye Movement（快速轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)眼球），于1980年組建，樂(lè)隊(duì)用英式朋克音樂(lè)的嘲諷態(tài)度從新浪潮的音樂(lè)層面上出發(fā)，重新定義了美國(guó)搖滾樂(lè)中另類(lèi)的定義，從某種意義上講，他們是美國(guó)另類(lèi)搖滾樂(lè)之父。作為一支真正起家于地下的樂(lè)隊(duì)，他們?cè)诮▓F(tuán)初期就開(kāi)著大篷車(chē)周游美國(guó)大陸，將自己的音樂(lè)理想和精神傳播于鄉(xiāng)村、學(xué)校和酒館。R.E.M代表著地下音樂(lè)的最高水平，聽(tīng)似舒緩的旋律表現(xiàn)著深沉的搖滾內(nèi)涵，噪重的吉他噪音卻變得慵懶了起來(lái)，暴躁的鼓鳴也優(yōu)雅了許多，本應(yīng)嘶喉的嗓音卻也如細(xì)膩的絲綢一般哀婉深沉。他們的音樂(lè)態(tài)度一直是陰暗低調(diào)的，總是從非常人性的角度來(lái)解釋一些深刻的人生哲學(xué)，而不似流行音樂(lè)簡(jiǎn)單的享樂(lè)主義。他們的音樂(lè)擁有著夢(mèng)一般的氣質(zhì)：飄逸、放浪、又隱含著些許甜蜜的憂(yōu)傷。形式上的大膽突破，跳動(dòng)的吉他彈奏、堅(jiān)實(shí)的貝司線條，以及主唱魅力四射的吟唱，交織出一首首似夢(mèng)似真又直擊心靈的旋律。這種特立獨(dú)行的氣質(zhì)使R.E.M在上世紀(jì)80年代吹響了非主流音樂(lè)的號(hào)角，也深深地影響了后輩，幾乎每個(gè)另類(lèi)搖滾樂(lè)隊(duì)身上都有他們的影子。R.E.M樂(lè)隊(duì)也總是竭盡全力地維持著地下音樂(lè)的狀態(tài)，展現(xiàn)在樂(lè)迷面前的是一種搖滾樂(lè)內(nèi)在的力量，一種純粹而神秘的境界。
快轉(zhuǎn)眼球樂(lè)隊(duì) Rapid Eye Movement 英文介紹
R.E.M. is an American rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1980 by Michael Stipe (lead vocals), Peter Buck (guitar), Mike Mills (bass guitar), and Bill Berry (drums and percussion). R.E.M. was one of the first popular alternative rock bands, and gained early attention due to Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals. R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe", in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone. The single was followed by the Chronic Town EP in 1982, the band's first release on I.R.S. Records. In 1983, the band released its critically acclaimed debut album Murmur, and built its reputation over the next few years through subsequent releases, constant touring, and the support of college radio. Following years of underground success, R.E.M. achieved a mainstream hit in 1987 with the single "The One I Love". The group signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1988, and began to espouse political and environmental concerns while playing large arenas worldwide.
By the early 1990s, when alternative rock began to experience broad mainstream success, R.E.M. was viewed as a pioneer of the genre and released its two most commercially successful albums, Out of Time (1991) and Automatic for the People (1992), which veered from the band's established sound. R.E.M.'s 1994 release Monster was a return to a more rock-oriented sound. The band began its first tour in six years to support the album; the tour was marred by medical emergencies suffered by three band members. In 1996, R.E.M. re-signed with Warner Bros. for a reported US$80 million, at the time the most expensive recording contract in history. The following year, Bill Berry left the band amicably, with Buck, Mills, and Stipe continuing as a three-piece. Through some changes in musical style, the band continued its career into the next decade with mixed critical and commercial success. In 2007, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
