Pet Shop Boys

  “宠物店男孩” Pet Shop Boys 八十年代微型电子音乐合成器的出现,使更多音乐人容易实现其表演或出版唱片的梦想。成立于1981年的“宠物店男孩”(Pet Shop Boys)可算得上是八十年代最后一支也是最成功的电子音乐组合。
   Pet Shop Boys是一对天才的词曲合作者:尼尔·泰纳(Ne-il Tennant)和克里斯·洛(Chris Lowe),他们在出道15年中凭藉轻松快优美的旋律和流畅自然的曲风,赢得了众多乐迷的喜爱。
  1985年,PSB聘Stephan Hague为唱片监制,以一曲《West End Girls》闯入法国和 比利时的单曲排列榜,结束了两年的守望期,一跃成为流行乐坛的新宠儿。 接着PSB又推出了《Love Comes Quickly》《Sabarbia》等好作品。1986年,PSB以《West End Gir-ls》连获英、美排行榜的第一位;发行了首张专辑《Please》,突出自己将Disco和Pop揉合的独特风格,以重复迭宕的和声体现忧欢相随的情感。1987年, PSB又推出了第二张专辑《Actually》,内容更加丰厚,二重和声运用更为成熟,而单曲《It's A Sin》《It Couldn't Happen Here》 也在流行榜上取得了骄人成绩。
  1988年,他们又发行了一张更为古怪精美的专辑《Introspeetive》,它熔合多元化的音乐风格,使PSB的顽皮形象推向了极至。其中,《What Have I D-one To Deserve This?》充满了消极玩世的态度;而另一首《I Want A Dog》则以一阵沸沸扬扬的狗吠拉开序幕,极尽幽默顽皮之能事。1990年PSB的第四张专辑《Behaviour》是与Harold Fateneyer的合作成果,其中减少了民谣的味道,而以更现实更理性的方式表达强烈的个人理念。到93年《Very》的推出又一次超越了PSB 先前的成绩,充分显示了他们作为流行音乐前沿斗士和舞曲情感缔造者的实力。
  1995年底,PSB又发行了一张B面歌曲精选集双CD《Alternative》,专辑纵跨他们从艺十年的经典作品,展现了流行舞曲的深度。PSB 的这对英国流行乐坛双璧以其实力屹立乐坛十年之久,确是瞬息万变的乐界的难得之例。随着时间的推移,PSB 应该会更加成熟,他们的音乐将会更具魅力。
