	關於TAPE 　樂評人的話「[Tape的專輯]Milieu 彷彿是Gastr del Sol 鏡頭下的Björn Olsson，或是受北歐冷風而非西班牙陽光影響的Pascal Comelade。寧靜、有些憂鬱，具印象派美學聽來卻不猶豫，專輯雖短卻完整，值得推薦。」 “Milieu is Björn Olsson as seen through Gastr del Sol's lens — or Pascal Comelade influenced by the Nordic winds instead of the Spanish sun. Peaceful, slightly melancholic, impressionistic without sounding tentative, Milieu delivers a very coherent half-hour of music. [...] Recommended despite its brevity.” -- Rated 4/5, François Couture, All music guide 「不同於其他所謂folktronica團體，Tape並未將自己逼入一個死角，也成功避開受到過於僵硬的laptop「伴奏」的限制。Milieu上的作曲有仔細營造的情感層次，像是午夜時分Fahey/Parch在生鏽鐵架前演出著默劇。」 “Tape succeeds where other "folktronica" acts noodle themselves into a corner or fall prey to an over-determined laptop. On Milieu, the trio's second album, the compositions are carefully and emotionally layered, a midnight Fahey/Parch pantomime against a rusted silo.” -- Rated 7.9/10, Brandon Stosuy, Pitchfork 「Tape仍舊處於實驗與流行音樂交會的尖端。他們完全不用人聲（包括採樣），因此與流行音樂保持距離，但是卻擅於以原音吉他演奏、風琴長音與電腦程式化田野錄音的交織體襯托精密雕琢的極簡旋律…等不及下一張專輯。緩慢、平和、田園：Tape的音樂簡單說，就是美。」 "Tape is still on the edge of experimental music meeting pop, or vice versa. They don't use vocals, or even samples from vocals, which makes this still far away from the world of real popmusic, but Tape crafts minimal tunes, walking the thin line between acoustic guitar playing, drone pieces of their melodica and bon tempi organs and computer processed field recordings. [...] Can't wait for the next one. Slow, peaceful and pastoral: Tape is simply beautiful music.” -- Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly 　樂團簡介 2000年成立於瑞典首府斯德哥爾摩的Tape，成員包括Berthling兄弟Andreas和Johan以及Tomas Hallonsten。他們的音樂自在游移於實驗與流行之間，電腦程式產生的聲響與各種原音、電子樂器融合而成的招牌語言在國際樂壇佔有獨特的一席之地。Tape目前發行過三張專輯Opera (2002)、Milieu (2003)及2005年最新的Rideau，其廠牌正是由團員Johan Berthling經營的Häpna (www.hapna.com) ；另外著名的實驗音樂廠牌Staalplaat則發行過Tape的現場演出錄音(2005)。2005年十月發行的Rideau呈現Tape一個全新的方向：結構性較強、聲響銳利、節奏元素更為明顯，寬廣而堂皇。 Andreas Berthling除了創作自己的電子音樂(於Staalplaat、Fällt、Anechoic和Mitek等廠牌發行)也參與Frontroom Ensemble和Feed兩個團體並是位活躍的錄音工程師; Tomas Hallonsten因為擁有豐富的音樂性且擅長玩多種樂器，除了Tape以外還固定與瑞典許多藝人合作演出與錄音; Johan Berthling主要演奏低音大提琴，固定的合作對象包括Sten Sandell、Raymond Strid及Mats Gustafsson，也曾跨刀為Nicolai Dunger、Goran Kajfes和瑞典著名女唱作人Stina Nordenstam演奏錄音。　 Tape was formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 2000 by brothers Andreas and Johan Berthling together with Tomas Hallonsten. Their music moves between experimental and pop without effort.and has been recognized internationally for it´s particular sound where electronics blend with all sorts of acoustic and electric instruments. Their first recording Opera came out in 2002, the second - Milieu in 2003, both released on Häpna. Tape have done shorter tours in Europe, the US and Japan. In august 2005 Staalplaat released a live cd of Tape in their "Mort Aux Vaches" series. On october the 24th, 2005 this swedish trio Tape released their eagerly awaited third album - Rideau. The songs have a more architectural structure this time, a sharper sound, more rhythmical elements and a grandeur that hasn´t shown before. Andreas Berthling has made records with electronic music under his own name on labels such as Staalplaat, Fällt, Anechoic and Mitek. Plays with the groups Frontroom Ensemble and Feed and is also active as sound engineer. Tomas Hallonsten's sheer musicality and ability to play several instruments has led him to perform and record with a lot of different swedish artists outside of Tape. Johan Berthling works mostly as a double bassplayer with musicians like Sten Sandell, Raymond Strid and Mats Gustafsson. He has worked with swedish artists Nicolai Dunger, Stina Nordenstam, Goran Kajfes among others. 　專輯介紹 Rideau 為了尋求新的音樂養分，這次Tape決定與德國著名電音創作人Marcus Schmickler合作，還特別到他位於科隆的錄音室工作，從以往有點即興隨性的田園風味過渡至這次結構嚴謹的音形塑造，節奏元素更突出，有一種別於以往的華美感被發展出來。Rideau對他們而言是一次成功的音樂突破。　 Milieu 繼前作Opera大受好評，Tape再度使用大量原音樂器、電腦與田野錄音手法，在和諧含蓄，略帶感傷的樂／聲背後實暗藏豐富有機的微妙細節，讓人不禁放下手邊工作，與Tape一同閒逛這塊田園音景，感受那平靜的音樂之美。　　 Opera Tape的首張專輯，悠然自得地既平易近人又前衛實驗。其多層次的聲響拼貼位於電子原音音樂的尖端，類似Erstwhile廠牌的出品或是Kim Hiorthoy的laptop音樂。然而Tape又具有全然獨特的身份性格，凝聚了各式靈感與技巧，在討喜優美迷人的表面亦隱藏複雜深度。　試聽連結 A Spire (excerpt, from Rideau) Sponge Chorus (from Milieu) Radiolaria (from Opera) 　 music video Sand Dunes: small; large (from Rideau)
