Ride, 駕馭合唱團 - Smile 微笑
Review by Sylvia Azad
Ride, 駕馭合唱團's latest album, Smile 微笑, is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of shoegaze and alternative rock. The band's signature sound is present throughout the album, with dreamy guitar riffs and ethereal vocals that transport listeners to another world.
The album's opening track, "Jump Jet," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its catchy chorus and upbeat tempo. The album's title track, "Smile," is a standout with its haunting melody and introspective lyrics. The song builds to a crescendo with layers of guitar and a driving rhythm section that will leave listeners wanting more.
Other notable tracks include "Future Love," a dreamy ballad with a lush arrangement, and "Repetition," which features a pulsing bassline and a soaring guitar solo. The album's closing track, "In This Room," is a beautiful and meditative instrumental that leaves listeners with a sense of peace and tranquility.

Notes
- 喧噪粗礪迷濛芳醇的90年代 搖滾新希望
- 駕馭合唱團
- 微笑
- 近三年前 Mark Garderner（主唱、吉他）、Andrew Bell（吉他）、Steve Queralt（貝斯）、Lars Colbert（鼓）四位才俊青年在牛津的一所藝術學校結識後合組一支搖滾樂團「Ride」，'89年夏天移師倫敦，出色的俱樂部演出引起媒體注意，將六Ｏ年代的優美旋律、吉他主導音樂翻新而成九Ｏ年代的搖滾之聲，不少樂迷為之心折，更被「Sound」、「NME」等品味孤高的音樂雜誌封為「九Ｏ年代的希望」，前途看好。'90年1月首張EP「Ride」、4月第二張EP「Play」相繼告捷，名聲漸響，10月第三張EP「Smile」是首度進軍美國的專輯，密集的出片方式並未減損他們的創作力。「Ride」擅長以較為精簡的曲式傳達完整的創作理念，「Smile」也不例外，剛猛嘈雜的吉他音色挾著狂風驟雨之勢，像一堵回音不絕的音牆，製造出嗡然的幻覺效果，佐以紮實律動的貝斯與冷靜有力的鼓，共同撐起曲子的骨架，多層次的人聲帶有迷濛芳醇的質感，與時而喧噪粗礪的背景配樂形成既矛盾又迷人的對位立場。

About Ride, 駕馭合唱團
English rock band formed in Oxford in 1988.
With their first records, Ride created a unique wall of sound that relied on massive, trembling distortion in the vein of but with a simpler, more direct melodic approach. The shatteringly loud, droning neo-psychedelia the band performed was dubbed shoegazing by the British press because the bandmembers stared at their pedals while they performed. Along with their initial influence, , Ride stood apart from the shoegazing pack, primarily because of their keen sense of songcraft and dynamics. For a while, the band was proclaimed the last great hope of British rock, but they fell from the spotlight nearly as quickly as they entered it.

The guitar riff and solo sounds similar to buried alive by venom. I love both songs by the way
The drums are incredible

Im sorry we could not make it, but it is a painful relief to know (somehow I wish it is just a dumb msibelief of mine)that it does not hurt you at all.Good luck....
