Anoice是一支来自日本的器乐后摇团体,由吉他手Ricco和Taku在2004年牵头组建.六个人的大型阵容,使得Anoice可以制造出更为完整的音乐气氛.不同于Mono突发式的情绪转换,Anoice在一首歌中基本会保持一种基调,也因此可以说他们在某种程度上摆脱了那种由Mogwai开创的,并且被诸多Post Rock后来者所继承发展的"轻/重/轻/重/轻..."的后摇套路.将古典音乐的元素融入后摇之中,也是Anoice常被提及的一大特色,而在听完他们在美国的Important Records发表的首张专辑[Remmings]后,我感觉到的是流行音乐在他们身上也必定产生过深远的影响.在Anoice的网站上六名团员都有列出他们的favorite artist,从流行到实验都有涉猎,真算得上是五花八门了,所以在他们自己的音乐中会出现数种风格也就不难理解了.总的来说,Anoice的音乐就如同为岩井俊二的影片所特意谱写的电影配乐.Anoice的古典元素,似乎和[All About Lily Chou-Chou](关于莉莉周的一切)中不时浮现的德彪西的钢琴曲,有着某种共通处,或许都是那样的青涩敏感,平静缓和里的灵魂挣扎,正似一件白衣下遮掩起来的伤痕,令人绞痛. Anoice pronounced “a noyce” is a Tokyo based six piece group that have been working together since 2004. They have released the highly acclaimed album “Remmings” have a dreamy and dynamic compositional world that falls somewhere between easy electronic rock and Harold Budd flavored ambient avant composition on the Important Label. And their 2nd album “Out of Season” and 3rd album “Ruined-Hotel Sessions” from Ricco Label on 2008. The members of the band - Takahiro Kido (Guitar + Programming + Piano + Glockenspiel + Organ + Melodion) + Taku Tanioka ( Guitar + Mandolin) + Yuki Murata (Piano + Synthesizer + Programming + Glockenspiel + Melodion) + Utaka Fujiwara ( Viola + Synthesizer + Programming + Piano) + Takahiro Matsue (Bass + Programming + Tenor Sax + Accordion) + Tadashi Yoshikawa (Drums + Percussion + Accordion + Glockenspiel) - cite a mixture of rock & electronic influences (Radiohead + Sigur Ros + The Clash) and compositional music (Arvo Part + Claude Debussy + John Williams + Shostakovich). Takahiro Kido has released five solo albums (a Short Happy Life + Krageneidechse + Walking in the Rhythm + in my Time + Fleursy Music) from PLOP and Ricco Label, and Yuki Murata has two solo albums (Films + Home) on Ricco Label. In addition, Takahiro Kido and Takahiro Matsue and Tadashi Yoshikawa formed a three piece band “mokyow” after desire to make freer music with the expanse more on 2007. They released their first album “Variations for Spiegel” from Ricco Label. Furthermore, Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata released “re-Silence” under the name of “cru” a unit with piano, organ and electronics on 2007. "last-fm" With guitars, bass, viola, keyboards and drums, the six Anoice succeed to create incredible atmospheres between Sigur Ros, Arvo part and Rachel's. "Rockerilla" Even when all of them are going at it hammer and tongs they act more like an orchestra with each player adding their own element to the melody. Anoice hit all the blissful and joyous emotions and only rarely dip into melancholy like most bands of the same ilk. "Brainwashed" Anoice have produced something entirely different and original, a mature record of great beauty and attention to detail that rises above any clichés and should by all accounts establish them as one of the leading artists today. "Rockarolla" Anoice Remmings (Important) This Tokyo-based sextet make some really sublime instrumental music. Monumental and subtly nuanced; they all allow plenty of room for each other. Mixing guitars, programming, viola, bass, piano, drums, mandolin, and synthesizer, into the nine varied sonic excursions presented here. Mesmerizing soundtracks to nonexistant films that bloom in the center of your mind. Ranging from very small and soft spoken, to toweringly grand and vast. Some pieces have the feel of chamber music renditions of Mogwai or Spacemen 3 songs; others feel like an accurate aural description of loneliness. "Dream Magazine" I was sold this record on the promise that Anoice are “like Rachel’s…but they rock…” But isn’t that Godspeed? Well, no because whereas Godspeed dangle you worringly over a cliff for the duration of an album, Anoice frequently drop you, pick you up again and occasionally even make you float. What’s more, there’s often more of a rhythmic framework here. The bass isn’t afraid to groove, the drums do ‘Bolero’ behind the cascades of passionate viola and hammered piano. Anoice, in fact, are as adept at approaching the rock/classical thing from the rock end as the classical end, which gives them more than one string to their bow and potentially makes for some celestial live performances. In places, they sound like an instrumental Arcade Fire. In others – particularly the incredibly beautiful tracks 5 - 8 – they sound as good as any living film composer worth his salt. If track 6 (Liange) doesn’t astound you, you are a glacier. There’s a readymade market for evocative, anthemic, cinematic stuff like this, of course, be it on the bill of All Tomorrow’s Parties or soundtracking some intense French film noir, with Emanuelle Beart running down the steps of la Basilique du Sacre Coeur in torrential rain. Even so, Anoice have that something special that could elevate them even beyond that. This is not a group, as such. These people are modern composers. "Glen Johnson - Piano Magic"
