继纽约的一些音乐评论人对安安的CD做出了相当水准的评价之后,这是今天刚收到的最新音乐评论文章,来自比利时.这个音乐评论人称安安是"Almost complete unknown true guitar hero"(几乎不为人知的真正的吉他英雄).下面是原文转载:
New American Folk Hero Andy Futreal -3"cdr- (UK,2007)****'
This new artist’s release comes as a nice surprise. “Like Twilight Bleeding” is long, beautiful warm breathing improvisation on acoustic guitar, followed by the shorter, faster-melodic composition, “Kaftan”, having its own inner flamenco blood. Both tracks are recorded in one take. Last 4-track track piece has additional insect-like sounds in the background, and sliding and droning feedback strings, which accompany like additional keyboard arrangements. It is like old time blues in a faraway mountain wooden house of which the environment and landscape, as an impossible to neglect factor, describes itself along with it its composition and improvisation.
Andy grew up in North Carolina, but has lived in Cambridge, UK for the past 7 years now. Influences include Monk, Feldman, African guitarists like Phuzekmesi, Madala Kunene, Manfila Kante and Ali Farke Toure, the Chinese erhu of A Bing, the American folk blues of Leadbelly and the Cuban Son of Arsenio Rodriguez. The last twenty years he has privately recorded many tracks, and with his brother released a cd as the Offramps. This mini-cdr proves he is a neglected talent, living outside the commercial entities, but he deserves attention.

http://www.tomentosarecords.com/newamericanfolkhero.html文章里说安安受了很多音乐类型的影响,其中还有中国二胡演奏家-阿炳. 佩服,不知道这个评论人是怎么找到这些个人资料的.我不喜欢二胡,听起来太悲了. I like happy music. 呵呵.

安安本人值不值得这个世界的注意,我想他本人并不太介意,因为在其专业领域他成名已久.但是他所热爱的音乐能够得到人们的喜欢,能有更多的朋友知道,了解,一起欣赏,这才是真欣慰,真喜欢,真开心.
