I'll Be a Virgin, I'll Be a Mountain

乘着忧郁编织成的翅膀，在心灵暴风中狂舞飞翔。 聆听伤心的声音，男人也可以如此深情忧伤而美丽   麦斯米兰纤细绝美、直触灵魂深处的乐音，彷彿来自古老世界的叮咛。浅浅地、轻柔地，他的歌声，无论唱着生离死别抑或悲欢离合，总是让人感到美丽而窝心。由如梦似幻吉他轻柔带出的开场曲 "Snow White" 正如童话中对白雪公主的形容，彷彿吹弹可破、雪白精緻的肌肤，让人不禁想伸手轻触，却又转瞬间在指尖的温度下消融无踪；心碎的淡淡哀愁、一触即碎玻璃般的声线，原来人声可以美丽至此。   专辑同名曲 "I’ll Be A Virgin, I’ll Be A Mountain" 麦斯米兰彷彿祈祷似地吟唱着：「我的思绪飘荡／我的爱情滋长／我的梦已结束／而我的灵魂被困住了」，描绘摆荡在失去与获得之间的脆弱心灵，令人眩然欲泣的旋律，足以触动每一颗冷漠的心。麦斯米兰的忧郁，拥有如此强大的情绪渲染力，总是让人学会从另一面观看自己的心灵；在麦斯米兰的歌声中，我们升华、开朗，乘着忧郁编织成的翅膀，无论宛若处子或稳若山岚，都能够让人卸下生活的重担、体验高雅的忧伤，在心灵风暴中放肆地跳舞、飞翔。   三大人气乐团 张悬、苏打绿、1976联名推荐:   我想听Maximilian Hecker的专辑，不用被声音安慰或是被歌振奋。只是想自我沉溺一下下，完整地看看自己的多愁善感和自怜。(张悬)   我总是赶在太阳真正占领整个世界前拉紧窗帘，在缝隙间漏出的光线中播放Maximilian Hecker，绿色的房间被黑暗照得苍白。我常常在这样的声响中把自己带进梦，漂浮着坠落或垂着头升起，有时候因为这样分不清楚梦和现实、故事和回忆。他的声音是一床透风但厚重的羽绒被，同时袭来凉意却不让你发抖，当你紧裹身体以为就这样缓缓飞行，常常暴雨又把你卷去，放置在一个你到过却叫不出名字，只在梦里见过的故乡，然后又开始在风干的眼泪身后看见一些光，继续和煦地滑翔。(苏打绿主唱 / 青峰 )   第一次听见Maximilian Hecker时，我把看得见阴雨天空的窗户打开，觉得自己也跟着音乐掉进灰白色调的世界，在此之前，我不记得有任何一个男歌手有这么歌德式的美丽和哀伤。(1976团长 / 阿凯 )   Maximilian Hecker提醒了我们忧伤的音乐竟能冻结的如此美丽，这是德国的冷列气候里才能冰封的祕密。我无法想像在充斥着黑烟的台北机车阵列里、或是潮湿腐朽的纽约地下铁道上，有人能谱写出这种气味的曲子。Maximilian Hecker也提醒了我们，适度的沉溺，是暂离生活步调的舒缓剂。(PTT BRIT-POP版主Pulp陈德政) (by 博客来) ------------------------------------------------------------------   Phonographic Copyright (p) – V2 Records GmbH Copyright (c) – V2 Records GmbH Recorded At – LowSwing Tonstudio Mixed At – LowSwing Tonstudio Mastered At – Wisseloord Studios Recorded At – Peppermint Park Hannover   Arranged By [Orchestral Arrangements] – Doron Burstein (tracks: 2, 5, 9, 11) Bass – Arne Paul Neumann Cello – Sebastian Selke (tracks: 5, 9, 11) Clarinet – Max Hacker (tracks: 5, 11) Conductor – Doron Burstein (tracks: 2, 5, 9, 11) Design [Additional] – Alorenz, Berlin And Vienna Drums – Snorre Schwarz E-bow [Guitar], Guitar [Guitar Loops] – Johannes Feige (tracks: 12) French Horn – Premysl Vojta (tracks: 5) Guitar [Baritone Guitar] – Arne Paul Neumann (tracks: 12) Mastered By – Darius Van Helfteren Organ [Hammond] – Fredrik Sauer (tracks: 3, 4, 7) Painting [Cover Painting] – Liisa Lounila Photography By – Dirk Merten Producer, Recorded By, Mixed By – Guy Sternberg Synthesizer [Moog] – Guy Sternberg (tracks: 12) Synthesizer [Oberheim] – Guy Sternberg (tracks: 4) Synthesizer [Ppg] – Guy Sternberg (tracks: 6) Tenor Saxophone – Max Hacker (tracks: 2) Trombone – Simon Harrer (tracks: 2), Simon Harrer (tracks: 2) Trumpet – Steffen Zimmer (tracks: 2) Viola – Doron Alperin (tracks: 5, 9, 11) Violin – Carolin Kosa (tracks: 5, 9, 11), Irina Kolpakova (tracks: 5, 9, 11) Vocals, Guitar, Piano, Electric Piano [Fender Rhodes], Glockenspiel, Percussion – Maximilian Hecker Written-By – Maximilian Hecker   Recorded and Mixed at LowSwing Studios Berlin.
