跨年沒表演沒局沒喝酒......來整理一下今年聽過覺得還不錯的作品....

今年因為製作非/密閉空間跟百合花的關係，聽了比往年更多的爵士樂跟器樂演奏，但時間就是只有那麼多....加上比較少花時間在Soundcloud上跟演算法的關係，好像就沒diggin到幾個新咖....idm/glitch/breakcore這些以前喜歡的也聽的比較少要不然就是還來不及聽....然後每天Soundcloud stream上滿滿的trap.....是說我聽的trap也很多很歪很帥啦但聽久也蠻煩的....

1 James Brandon Lewis - An Unruly Manifesto

這是一張向Charlie Haden 以及Ornette Coleman致敬的專輯，會對James Brandon Lewis 有印象應該是他去年那張實在有夠像Coltrane晚期的作品，這張裏頭滿滿的噪音吉他跟狂喜Saxphone solo真的很爽，第九首Handen is Beauty一直覺得是Pat Metheny Rejoicing裡的the Calling，但Pat Metheny這張也是向Ornette Coleman致敬就是了(而且Bass手就是Charlie Haden。)

2. Alon Mor - Land of Delight

Alon Mor這張真的就是色號#000000的黑，大編制管絃樂跟一堆飄來飄去的foley glitch用的超好，器樂編制動能超強，我一直覺得它就是21世紀的Hans Zimmer+Trent Reznor .......要是有好來汙大製作北藍片找他配樂我一定會去看.....

https://alonmormusic.bandcamp.com/album/lands-of-delight

3. Antoine Berjeaut - Moving Cities

其實這張專輯吸引我的是tone很不爵士有點迷幻又有點衝浪的吉他手Guillaume Magne 以及鼓手Makaya McCraven，節奏組爆幹帥的當代器樂Drum'N Bass，強推第二首 Shadows~~!!!合成器也很酸很爽，大概比Comet is Coming爽一萬倍~~~!!!

https://iseecolors.bandcamp.com/releases

4. Cup –Spinning Creature

很喜歡Nels Cline x Yuka Honda這對夫妻檔今年ㄉ作品， 對我來說很小品，但又很複雜，不過不是聽了會有壓力的那種........覺得Cibo Matto的成分多一點............ 而且看了一些他們的婚姻訪談，超羨慕這種一起玩團還不會離婚的組合~~!!!!

https://cupmusicentity.bandcamp.com/album/spinning-creature-2

5. Black Nile–Sounds of Color

年初在Alpha Pup發現到帥氣潮流爵士組合，雖然有幾首很普普，但第二首JYRO直衝Jaga Jazzist跟Kamasi Washington的長篇即興氣勢就值得買整張!!!一樣比Comet is Coming爽一萬倍~~!!!!

https://worldgalaxyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sounds-of-color

6. @Jaimie Branch -- FLY or DIE II: bird dogs of paradise

好像很多年終榜都有選這張，我覺得這張蠻值得拿來跟Art Ensemble of Chicago 50周年的新作相比較的，但如果要選我會選這張，而且我覺得這張專輯明明Bass手Jason Ajemian 才是主角吧.....他其實不是很爵士，器樂就是弄得爛爛的(應該是故意)，但超級黑。
https://intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/fly-or-die-ii-bird-dogs-of-paradise

7. Neue Grafik Ensemble -- Foulden Road

這張應該就是屬於21世紀的Acid-Jazz了，Neue Grafik 包辦全部器樂演奏， Gilles Peterson會喜歡的那種英國痛~~
https://neuegrafik.bandcamp.com/album/foulden-road

7. Petter Eldh – Koma Saxo

沒有和聲樂器的六重奏，Double Bass聲響跟器樂編制很吸引人，混音也是這種類型少見，電子成分蠻多的，Patter Based為基底但變化超級多~~~這個比Comet is Coming爽2萬倍吧~~~

https://wejazzrecords.bandcamp.com/album/koma-saxo

9. Trio Heinz Herbert – Yes

瑞士來的Glitch Jazz組合，瑞士好像超多人在玩這種，很喜歡吉他手用的glitch效果，節奏很歪很爽，蠻像以前Leaf會出的東西，對我來說很groovy，但不是那種groovy........

https://intaktrec.bandcamp.com/album/yes

10. Billegal Beats Vol.0

今年有來派樂黛大師班的Glitch-Hop神人，知名youtuber今年成立的廠牌所發行的合輯，集結各種idm/glitch屌咖，The Flashbulb、Julien Mier、Valance Drake、WISP、也有很多沒聽過但超厲害的Artist，但光是只聽久沒作品的Flashbulb用modular做的屌beat這張就值得收了~~

https://billegalbeats.bandcamp.com/album/billegal-beats-vol-0

11.Kurt Rosenwinkel –Searching the Continuum

https://heartcore-records.com/product/kurt-rosenwinkelng-the-continuum/

12. Human Feel – Gold

https://soundcloud.com/intaktrecords/sets/human-feel-gold

很喜歡Kurt Rosenwinkel有參與的兩張專輯.....兩張風格差很多，但裏頭真的是各種厲害吉他效果大全.....HOG用超神，各種沒在管大家聽不聽得懂的長篇即興超爽......然後這Human Feel全明星隊youtube只有35個訂閱者....好慘...........

13. Hypercube & Nuanae -- Global Oxide

今年唯一聽到幾張有爽的暴力glitch作品，高壓，摧殘，後工業，非具象，但不是噪音的那種，而是用錯東西一不小心會bad trip那種。

https://montfort-records.bandcamp.com/album/global-oxide

14. Ruby My Dear -- Altair

Ruby My Dear去年那張Brame應該這是10年來我覺得最重要的電子音樂作品之一，這張 Altair又重回老本行超直線Jungle+Breakcore，Neuro Bass催下去一樣又噴又爽，
2019本命碟~~!!!

https://rubymydear.bandcamp.com/album/altai-r

15.PREVALE VA

另一張我覺得今年最值得收的電子音樂合輯，集結Hybrid Trap，Riddim Bass，Neuro Funk等一堆又凶又吵的樂風跟Artist，免費!!!不用錢!!!!快去下載~~!!!!!

Thank you King Ly Chee, thank you Riz! And I'm proud to be one of the KLC family.

我中文真係唔夠好...十分抱歉...

The band has been taking a break since January of this year to figure out where we are emotionally and within the various stages of our lives. Making a commitment to a band like this (and a person like me) has not been easy and will never be easy - you can ask anyone in the photo here about their experiences both within and outside the band.

Either way...when we all look back at this and what we were all able to accomplish together - all these faces in this photo (and the ones who aren't here Mike, Gaeon, Wing, G, Fei Hin who kept the band going in dire times) took a little dream that I had when I started in 1999 and made it their own.

At 22 years old I came back to Hong Kong wanting to do something to help Hong Kong's underground community, who knew it would turn into what it did :-)

There are so many memories come flooding back...I still remember the day King Ly Chee joined a music festival in Tuen Mun (Gold Coast) in the summer of '99 and at the same competition a death metal band got on stage to compete. After they finished I ran to go say hello to them because I was so happy to hear extreme music in Hong Kong! They turned out to be Departing Cross...that guitar player Chai became a great friend of mine later. The drummer who would join them later (Man) would also become a member of King Ly Chee many MANY years later. I remember having the same response when I went to a show at the Warehouse in 1999 and saw a band called Hyponic get on stage and play doom metal and how happy I was to meet Roy and his wife Anita. They later even helped me translate MANY of the articles that were in my zine called 由零開始 Start From Scratch, as did Sammy of Lam Kei, and so many other friends. I remember touring China in 2000 for the first time and we stayed at Wu Wei (singer of SMZB)'s house with his mom, I remember traveling by train from Wuhan to Beijing for the first time and arriving in Beijing Train Station while the snow was falling around us, I remember getting on stage with Reflector-Brain Failure that night and becoming lifelong friends, I remember the next day Xiao Rong of Brain Failure took me to Scream Records to try to get the label to release our album "We Are Who We Are" in China, I remember putting my arms around Stephane and Alex as they cried on the plane leaving Korea after we played 6 shows in 3 days in Seoul in 2000, I remember getting my daily 4pm phonecalls from Kevin when he joined King Ly Chee, he would call every single day for the first year exactly at 4pm on his way to work at a tattoo shop and we'd talk about whatever like only brothers did, I remember Andy-Alex-Kevin and I recording "Stand Strong" until 5am every day and then going home for one hour then getting changed and going to our jobs, I remember touring Southeast Asia for the first time and meeting so many great people who are still good friends today, I remember touring Europe in 2006 in the fucking cold with Ming-Andy-Alex-Pong and dying cause it was so cold, I remember how on the way back from Europe while we were at the Dubai airport Alex told us that he had decided to leave and my heart broke into a million pieces because never in my life would i have ever thought he would leave the band, i remember after that andy and pong were like "don't worry - we'll keep the band going with you", i remember so many people saying that to me every time something happened - like Mike, Gaeon and Wing who sprung into action and helped the band continue somehow someway, i remember going on tour with NOFX and even though Fat Mike didn't like anything that was too metal sounding - El Hefe and Smelly always came to watch us play every night and they always said "man your guitar always sounds so HEAVY! i love it!", i remember receiving a random message from some guy named Brian who was living in australia and played in a nu-metal band, i remember many months later receiving his band's CD, i also remember later he sent me tracks of some really progressive metal songs that he had written, i remember that around this time the next heartbreak happened when andy decided he couldn't continue either, many months later that random ICQ (or was it MSN?) friend Brian was in king ly chee, i remember touring the philippines and after the last show of the tour we all stayed out with our Filipino brothers until the next morning talking - laughing, how about the time that i picked up my ultimate heroes from the airport in hong kong - the band that GOT me into hardcore back in '94 - mother fucking sick of it all!, holy shit...not only was i picking them up but i was the one organizing their first ever show in hong kong...holy fuck...

Memories like this can go on and on...because there are COUNTLESS stories like this to be told and shared with all of you...maybe one day there may be a book made :-)

For now...I want to first and foremost thank EVERY single person who has ever joined King Ly Chee for believing in me, believing in the band, believing in the purpose of the band, believing in the message...I know that some of these guys left the band not on good terms - but as my brother Kevin once said "Man - time heals everything" - I do hope that as time passes that every single one of these guys (and girl - we did have a girl vocalist for a year :-) will always remember their time in this band and the great things that we accomplished together.

Thank you everyone for giving us your hearts, believing in the band anytime in our 17 year existence...whether you were a fan of the Stephane-Ian lineup or the Stephane-Alex lineup or the Alex-Andy-Kevin lineup or the Alex-Andy-Pong-Ming lineup or the Andy-Pong-G lineup or the G-Brian-Pong-Man lineup or the Kent-Egas-Brian-Ho lineup or the Kent-Egas-Joe-Brian lineup or the Joe-Ivan-Brian-Ho lineup...whichever lineup you fell in love with - i can tell you from the bottom of my heart EVERY member gave 150% of their heart and soul to this band, to creating the music you heard, to playing those shows that you saw, to touring all over the world...

To this I live in eternal gratitude to these amazing individuals.

Lastly, thank you to every one of you all over this world who has supported the band. Thank you for your kindness, for your generosity, for your graciousness, for your heart...thank you for believing in this band.

I have about 13 demo songs that I had written this past year or so for a future King Ly Chee release - but now I guess I'll just put those online as a heartfelt thank you.

For one last time...
我 － 地 － 係 － KING － LY － CHEE

1999-2017.
