Exodus
Reggae乐大师Bob Marley在1977年推出的经典专辑,专辑名为《出埃及记》,一语双关,一方面是由于专辑中的同名歌曲的取材自圣经故事,更主要的含义是乐队远赴伦敦进行了后期制作,让Reggae乐进一步走向国际。关于音乐的主题,Bob Marley认为可以用一首歌曲的名字来概括,那就是One Love。专集中的"Jamming", "Waiting in Vain" 和 "One Love/People Get Ready" 等都是在国际范围内得到认同的歌曲。在1998年, TIME杂志把这张专辑命名为20世纪最伟大的专辑(没有“之一”)。 这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第169位。 Recorded in London following an attempt on his life, Exodus shows Bob Marley mellowing a bit. Despite some powerful political tracks, Marley adopts a less fiery, more reflective approach than his previous outings. Still, it's hard to find reggae as good as this. Exodus has all one would expect from a Bob Marley album: rumbling statements like "Exodus" and "The Heathen" as well as poetic love songs like "Turn Your Lights Down Low." Considering how good these tracks are, Exodus does not stop here. Marley also unleashed the huge international hits "Jamming," "Waiting in Vain," and "One Love/People Get Ready." These inspired tracks, perhaps more than any others, came to define Marley around the world. They are irresistible no matter how many times they are played. Never one to dodge innovation, "Exodus" hints that Marley was taking cues from the emerging dub scene. Exodus, even though it contains some of Marley's best work, has an underlying nostalgic feel to it, hinting that Marley was getting a little formulaic.
