ノイズと重低音の狭間

今日は一発気合い入れにガッツリ攻撃的なものを題材にします。









faithless」を取り上げます!!
UKでかなりの人気をもっている彼らだが、日本ではそれほどの人気がないのか。。。
少し悲しい現実です。

マッシブアタックばりの超重低音と攻撃的なまでのノイズ、そしてさらに攻撃的な歌詞。クールなラップを聞かせると思うとDIDOの甘いボーカルも参加とかなり音楽的にも幅の広さを持っている。
ロックからテクノ、トランスとジャンルの横断も幅広くおそらくはプログラミングの腕がかなり達者なのだろうと!!
そうかと思うと、上述したノイズのすごさにまさに圧巻!





最初に上げた音源の中から「mass distraction」の攻撃性はおそらく他に見る事の出来ない精神性とノイズ、ロックとダンスミュージックの融合をみることができるだろう。
なにより、「faithless」から感じるのは一貫した社会への反骨精神だろう。それがおそらく精神からノイズ、ビート、重低音全てにつながっているのではないかと思う。
同じような反骨精神をマッシブアタックやオアシス、unkleなどにもロックを通じて感じる。
ロックを楽しむ、愛するまさに神髄はここにあるのではないだろうか。

反骨精神にあふれた「mass distraction」の歌詞を以下に掲載する。

My dad came into my room holding his hat
I knew he was leaving,
he sat on my bed told me some facts, son.
I have a duty, calling on me
You and your sister be brave my little soldier
And don't forget all I told ya
Your the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss
Then I had to say goodbye

In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid
Certain things can't be hid
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold
I said, momma it will be alright
When daddy comes home, tonight

Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1
Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction
You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
The skin under my chin is exploding again
I'm getting stress from some other children
I'm holding it in.
We taking sides like a politician
And if I get friction, we get to fighting
I defend my dad, he's the best of all men
And whatever he's doing, he's doing the right thing
It's frightening, but it makes me mad
Why do all these people seem to hate my dad
And if that aint enough now I got these spots
I go to sleep every night with my stomach in knots
And what's more, I can hear momma next door
Explore the radio for reports of war
And all we ever seem to do
Is hide the tears
Seem like daddy been gone for years
But he was right
Now I'm geared up for the fight
And he would be proud of me
If my daddy come home tonight
Listen me calmly

Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1
Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction
You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction

My story stops here, lets be clear
This scenario is happening everywhere
And you ain't going to nirvana or farvana
You're coming right back here to live out your karma
With even more drama than previously, seriously
Just how many centuries have we been
waiting for someone else to make us free
And we refuse to see
That people overseas suffer just like we
Bad leadership and ego's unfettered and free
Who feed one the people they're supposed to lead
I don't need good people to pray and wait
For the lord to make it all straight
There's only now, do it right.
Cos I don't want your daddy, leaving home tonight
