资源信息： 专辑中文名: 乐队作品集（1996-2010） 专辑英文名: Discography of CDs 艺术家: Solas 资源格式: MP3 版本: [10 Albums] 更新2008~2010年2专辑 发行时间: 1996年 地区: 爱尔兰 语言: 英语,盖尔语 概述:

　　Solas在爱尔兰传统民谣乐队中和Lúnasa一样都是一线当红的乐队，受到世界上无数乐迷的追捧。Solas盖尔语意义为“光”的意思，根据记忆中的词源，sola和lúna分别为“太阳”和“月亮”的意思，真是有意思的两支乐队，音乐造诣都很高。Solas和Lúnasa的音乐动感十足，都属于传统音乐，擅长器乐演奏；与Lúnasa出色的纯演奏略有不同，除演奏好外，优秀的民谣女声也是Solas的强项（男声也是不错的，只是相对而言女声更出彩而已）。 　　备受赞誉的凯而特乐队Solas，是由笛子演奏家谢默斯·艾根（Seamus Egan）领导的爱尔兰五人乐队，是当代凯而特民谣领域中非常突出的团体，原因在于他们虽然大部分音乐具有很深的凯尔特根源性，但却以不同于传统乐队的表现手法来演绎，他们使用的并非是我们常见的凯而特乐器，而是诸如吉他、鼓，甚至电声乐器等摇滚乐常见乐器，当然仅就这点也并非有如何特别，Solas除了有手风琴，动听的低音笛、哨管，后期还引入了班卓琴、布祖基琴，使得在熟悉的凯而特旋律中透露出颇有异域韵味的风格来。 　　在谢默斯·艾根（Seamus Egan）的带领下，这支爱尔兰民谣超级组合通过融合许多非传统的乐器使得爱尔兰传统的音乐图景现出新的生机。组合的成员们利用吉他、班卓琴和布祖基琴这些乐器给他们的音乐增添了现代意味，而其音乐本身则是植根于爱尔兰传统的利尔舞（一种双人舞），快步舞和其他民谣形式之中的。作为一个天才少年，艾根十六岁就发表了他的第一张专集，并和彼得、保罗、玛丽还有拉尔夫·斯坦利一起游历四方。他后来和威妮弗蕾德·霍兰、约翰·威廉姆斯、约翰·道尔还有歌手卡伦·凯茜组合成了这支名为Solas的乐队。千禧年以来Solas融合多元文化因子，如爱尔兰民谣、美国民谣与兰草音乐等，保持其一惯的水准，当然变得更为流行了。相对2000年更为流行化的The Edge of Silence以及2003年的新专辑Another Day，此后Solas的专辑差不多延续这样的路线，均没有太大的出入，也没有了过多的惊喜；或许是领悟到了一种心境吧——平平淡淡才是真！ Solas (Irish: light) is an Irish-American musical group formed in 1994, playing Irish traditional music as well as original compositions, sometimes demonstrating an inclination towards Country music in recent albums. Their name comes from an Irish word meaning "light". At the time, the band was made up of Séamus Egan, who had already recorded two solo albums as well as a soundtrack to a film; Winifred Horan, a member of Cherish the Ladies; John Doyle, previously a member of The Chanting House with Egan; Karan Casey and John Williams. Their first performance was in Georgetown University's Gaston Hall in Washington, D.C. in 1995. Solas received national exposure on American Public Media's A Prairie Home Companion in May 1996. That same year, they recorded their first album and, in October, toured the U.S. A second album followed in 1997 and several members of Solas appeared on Karan's debut solo album as session musicians. Following their second album, John Williams left Solas to pursue a solo career to be replaced by Mick McAuley. In 1999, between the releases of The Words That Remain and The Hour Before Dawn, Karan left for a similar purpose and was replaced by Deirdre Scanlan. John Doyle left after the release of The Hour Before Dawn, being replaced by Donal Clancy. Clancy left after the release of The Edge of Silence, and was replaced by Éamon McElholm. In June 2008 the band announced Mairéad Phelan had joined the group as their new singer.

英文名称：Solas 版本：首张专辑 发行时间：1996年06月04日 唱片公司：Shanachie 唱片编号：0016351780225 播放时长：54:44 压缩比率：320kbps CBR48000Hz Stereo(s) 1996年发行的同名专辑，相对来说是一张充满着浓郁凯尔特民间风味的专辑，尽管我们听到了Karan Casey甘醇的嗓音唱出了略带忧伤的情歌，乾净的吉他弹奏也会令听惯了传统凯尔特音乐的人感觉一派清新，但无论从曲目还是配乐方面，Solas都并未走得太远，仍然充满了欢快的凯尔特舞步，或是悠长的慢板。 让人动心的非第六首“Crested Hens”莫属了——仿佛熟稔如老友般的旋律，提琴忧伤的述说着往事，迷离、怅惘的相思……始终作为背景的吉他和穿插其中的笛声，风一般的思绪遍布其中。 专辑曲目： 01. Nil Na La 02. The Flowing Bowl | Maire Breathnachs #1 | The Doon | The Mason's Men 03. The White Petticoat | Stan Chapmans | The Miller'sMaggot 04. I Wonder What's Keeping My True Love Tonight 05.

英文名称：Sunny Spells & Scattered Showers 发行时间：1997年05月20日 唱片公司：Shanachie 唱片编号：0016351781024 播放时长：53:45 压缩比率：192kbps CBR44100Hz Mono(m) 如果有闲，并能静下来，听听“The Unquiet Grave”吧！ 如果心烦，不能静下来，听听“The Unquiet Grave”吧！ 专辑曲目： 01. The Wind That Shakes The Barley (Song) 02. The Big Reel Of Ballynacally | The High Hill | Flash Away The Pressing Gang (Reels) 03. Aililiu Na Gamhna (Song) 04.

英文名称：The Words That Remain 版本：经典专辑 发行时间：1998年10月20日 唱片公司：Shanachie 唱片编号：0016351782328 播放时长：57:55 压缩比率：192kbps CBR44100Hz Stereo(js) The Words That Remain是许多评论公认的Solas最好的专辑。事实上其封面上紫色的天空彷佛就是最佳的印证，是异乡的怀旧感，充满错位的趣味，因重新诠释了Woodie Guthrie的Pastures of Plenty以及Peggy Seeger的Song of Choice而显得尤其突出，美国民谣与兰草音乐在Solas专辑中的首次出现，反而冲淡了爱尔兰民谣的吸引力，带给凯尔特听众一种并不晦涩的神秘气息。 专辑曲目： 01. Pastures Of Plenty 02. The Stride Set (Reels) 03. The Walk Up Set (Jigs) 04. The Grey Selchie 05. Song Of Choice 06. La Bruxa (Air) 07. I Am A Maid That Sleeps In Love 08. The Vega Set (Jigs) 09. Sweet Comeraghs (A Chomaraigh Aoibhinn O) 10. Sproggies Set (Reels) 11. The Beauty Spot (Reels) 12. Sraid An Chloig

英文名称：The Hour Before Dawn 版本：Enhanced 发行时间：2000年10月10日 唱片公司：Shanachie 唱片编号：0016351784124 播放时长：57:00 压缩比率：192kbps CBR44100Hz Stereo(js) 也许与1996年他们的同名专辑能够呼应的只有这张The Hour Before Dawn了，如此缓慢带着梦幻般色彩的专辑，让我从一开始就未能与以往的Solas划上等号。但这张许多曲目配器Newage化，充满美国乡村味道的专辑，有着令人无限憧憬的画面感，如同封面一样，虽然专辑中加重了Vocal的分量和表现力，有人说过于流行化，但The Hour Before Dawn却又是一张必然属于Solas的专辑，我们仍然能够从中看出Solas的实力。 专辑最后一首I Will Remember You，显然是一首引人注目的歌曲，事实上也是较为流行的一首，因为那是Seamus Egan与Sarah McLachlan共同创作完成的。 专辑曲目： 01. Bheadh Buachaillin Deas Ag Sile 02. Granny Quinn's | The Lilac Reel | Sporting Pat 03. Last Of The Great Whales 04. A Little Child 05. A Miner's Life 06. What's Up With Win | Sonny Brogan's | Cahal's Jig 07. When My Love And I Parted 08. Homeless 09. Boy | Girl Tune 10. Bruach Na Carraige Baine 11. Bonnie Mae 12. The New Custom House | The Flavor Of The Month | The Tinkers Daughter | Dogs Among The Bushes | Pinch Of Snu 13. I Will Remember You

英文名称：The Edge of Silence 发行时间：2002年02月12日 唱片公司：Shanachie 唱片编号：0016351784629 播放时长：52:38 压缩比率：192kbps CBR44100Hz Stereo(js) In this era of disposable, singles-driven albums it's refreshing to encounter an album meant to be experienced as a whole rather than as a mere collection of tracks. Solas, already acclaimed by many as the most exciting Irish traditional group in the world, has broken new ground with their fifth album, The Edge Of Silence. They interpret a wide range of material in surprising ways; songs by contemporary artists are given a Celtic tinge, making explicit their connections with the deep, ultimately Celtic roots of American music. The Edge Of Silence is a moody, noir-ish song cycle with a cinematic feel. Solas weaves together a fascinating body of material including songs by Bob Dylan (the obscure gem "Dignity"), Tom Waits, Nick Drake and Jesse Colin Young of The Youngbloods. Also part of the mix are two striking songs by extraordinary new songwriting talent Antje Duvekot, as well as traditionally-rooted original compositions. It all adds up to a seamless and powerful evoking of elemental life forces--love, death, and the unquenchable human spirit. 　　 The Edge Of Silence is produced by Grammy-winning producer Neil Dorfsman and Solas' leader Seamus Egan. Dorfsman has produced artists such as Sting, Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits, Bruce Hornsby and Paul McCartney. 专辑曲目： 01. Darkness, Darkness 02. Charmy Chaplin 03. Prelude #1 | Black Annis 04. Who's in The What Now 05. Dignity 06. The Poisonjester's Mask 07. Maybe In a Prayer 08. Beck Street 09. Clothes Of Sand 10. Prelude #2 | Georgia Lee

英文名称：Another Day 发行时间：2003年10月21日 唱片公司：Shanachie 唱片编号：0016351785626 播放时长：53:47 压缩比率：平均 189kbps Stereo(js) 与专辑同名的Another Day这首曲子，有着田园的气息和怀旧感，是我喜欢的类型；仿佛看到落叶满地的深秋，午后一个阅尽岁月沧桑的老人刁着烟斗，踩着碎步檫肩而过，遗下一串沙沙的足音……蛮欣赏这样的叙述方式。 专辑曲目： 01. Bird In The Tree 02. Scarecrow's Dream 03. I Wandered By A Brookside 04. It's Still Raining | Carlisle Street Reels 05. Just You 06. The Highlands of Holland 07. All That You Ask Me 08. Maire Mhilis Bhrea 09. The Wigly Jigs 10. This Love Will Carry 11. Seoladh na nGamhna 12. Another Day

英文名称：Waiting for an Echo 发行时间：2005年02月22日 唱片公司：Shanachie 唱片编号：0016351786029 播放时长：59:11 压缩比率：320kbps CBR44100Hz Stereo(js) Solas的第七张专辑，于2005年发行。精湛的演奏、曼妙的歌声一定会俘获你的耳朵的！AMG更给予了四星半的极高评价。 “The Silver Dagger”中的女声（Deirdre Scanlan）不赖的说，“Erin”中的男声（Mick McAuley）深沉得令人感动，“Tom Sullivan's | Mick's Polka | The Newmarket Polka”纯演奏等，都值得一听…… 本专辑[MP3!]资源VeryCD会员readroad此前已有发布，这里为了专题的完整性，重新打包予以发布。提一下此专辑由本人以Lame CBR 320kbps Stereo(js)编码，音质也还通透，并富弹性！ readroad[MP3!]资源友情链接：http://lib.VeryCD.com/2007/05/31/0000152068.html Waiting For An Echo, Solas seventh Shanachie CD, was recorded in a number of locations including Seamus Egan; home studio in Philadelphia and on the road in Germany. "We did what we call guerilla recording," laughs Seamus Egan. "We recorded everywhere we could, backstage at concerts, in hotel rooms and wherever it made sense using a Mac G4 and my mobile recording unit." In typical Solas fashion, the band has crafted a thrilling mix of traditional gems, jigs, polkas, reels, contemporary material and originals. Their use of counterpoint and driving syncopation pulsates throughout the CD. 　　 Seamus Egan says, "From one project to the next, we never want to make the same record. This album is more than anything a snapshot of where we are musically. We're a band that happens to have a strong grounding in a particular tradition. But the way we look at it, that tradition allows itself to be played with a little bit; it's malleable enough and strong enough to allow that. I think it's fundamentally impossible to play music any other way than being who you are and what you are. Irish traditional music is the first music I have any memory of; for a long time, I thought it's all there was. But I never saw it as something old; it was always there in our lives, and always evolving." 　　 Highlights on Waiting For An Echo include the Antje Duvekot song "Erin," featuring the vocals of Mick McAuley, the traditional song "The Silver Dagger" which showcases an imaginative revamped melody and altered arrangement by Winifred Horan and the Richard Shindell song "On a Sea of Fleur de Lis," featuring the angelic vocals of Deirdre Scanlan. Solas has long wanted to record this Shindell song and finally does it on Waiting For An Echo. 　　 Also included is "The Coconut Dog Morning Dew," two reels, the first penned by Eagan and the latter a traditional number arranged by the band. "The Coconut Dog" unites Solas with renowned Spanish bagpiper Carlos Nunez who has recorded with and is currently on tour with the Chieftains. The band recently had a chance to meet up with Nunez while on tour in Germany October and November of 2004. 专辑曲目： 01. The Hannover Reel | John James' Reel | The Copperplate 02. The Silver Dagger 03.

英文名称：For Love and Laughter 发行时间：2008年09月07日 唱片公司：Compass Records 唱片编号：0766397449029 播放时长：51:07 压缩比率：Lame 3.97 (-V2 --vbr-new) 来，认识下声音清新仿若闻草青香的新主唱Mairéad Phelan。 For over a decade, Solas has been hailed as the leading Irish-American super group. Through line-up changes and experiments with style and technology, the band has pushed the boundaries of - but never strayed too far from - their Irish roots. Now, as Mairead Phelan, an exciting young singer from Kilkenny, steps up to lend her exquisite vocals to the existing line up of Seamus Egan (flute, tenor banjo, mandolin, whistle, guitar and bodhran), Winifred Horan (fiddle), Mick McAuley (accordion and concertina) and Eamon McElholm (guitar and keyboards), the band heads into their second decade of playing tight, fiery Irish music with a new tour and this new CD. The new material breaks fresh ground in duets with Canada’s The Dukhs and an inspired rendition of Rickie Lee Jones’s "Sailor Song", while it offers the imaginative reinterpretations of traditional material that Solas has been playing to the delight of their fans worldwide. 专辑曲目： 01. Eoin Bear's Reel/Tune For Sharon/The Rossa Reel 02. Seven Curses 03. Tilly's Jig/The Happy Traveller 04. Mollaí Na Gcuachi Ní Chuilleanáin 05. Merry Go Round 06. Sunday's Waltz/Solo Double Oh 07. Vital Mental Medicine/The Pullet 08. Sailor Song 09. There Is A Time 10. John Riordan's Heels/Hoban's White House/The Lisnagun Jig 11. Gallant Hussar 12. My Dream Of You

英文名称：The Turning Tide 发行时间：2010年02月16日 唱片公司：Compass Records 唱片编号：0766397453026 播放时长：45:44 压缩比率：Lame 3.93 (cbr 320) 虽然也在求新求突破，但仍不失为为数不多的坚持凯尔特根源性的一支爱尔兰传统民谣乐队。尤其欣赏他们在物欲横流的当下，能秉持艺术的理想和非商业化的倾向，难能可贵！ On The Turning Tide, Solas delivers the raw instrumental virtuosity, the power, the rhythmic ‘hump’, and the dynamic vocal blend that no other band since The Bothy Band has mastered, and in the process showcases the band at the peak of its power. For over a decade, Solas has been recognized as the most influential Irish-American super group. The album offers a well-conceived set of tunes and songs that share an underlying theme of social commentary. It’s not a new idea for the band – past renditions of "Pastures of Plenty" and "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" are core songs in Solas’ repertoire – but it’s a concept that underscores the current mindset of the members of the band. Multi-instrumentalist and founding member Seamus Egan explains: “We’re not trying to preach or make a general statement about the world, it just happens to be the kind of material the individuals in the band have gravitated towards.” Solas is Seamus Egan (flute, tenor banjo, mandolin, whistle, guitar and bodhran), Winifred Horan (fiddle), Mick McAuley (accordion and concertina), Eamon McElholm (guitar and keyboards) and vocalist Mairead Phelan. 专辑曲目： 01.
