我們該如何看待上面的這一段宣言呢?一張恐怖份子的宣戰通告? 一番精神病患者的癡話囈語?一次法西斯主義的借尸還魂?對我來說, 這只不過是DEVO這幫幽默感超常的科學家給上級機關的一份工作報告。 DEVO的成員,由一群食肉人猿的直系后裔所組成,很久很久很久以前, 這群人猿在今天的美國俄亥俄州Akron地區定居下來,而DEVO成員的誕 生,那已經是在原子彈結束第二次世界大戰之后的事了。在自然進化 選擇的過程中,他們遇見了對方,并分享著共同的習性愛好∶制造電 子噪音,看電視,看別人干活--他們把自已周圍所發生的一切都稱為" 退化"(De-evolution),并把自已制造的音樂稱為--DEVO。這種音樂聽 上去就像一臺老掉牙的機器在不停地往下掉零件。過去,在他們玩音樂 時,總有一些小流氓在旁邊起哄,并把啤酒瓶子拋向他們。但到了197 7年,這幫小流氓拋給他們的是掌聲與歡呼,因為,其他城市里的小流 氓發現了"一切都在退化!"其實,這句話DEVO在幾年前的"Booji Boys "中已經告訴了他們。不僅如此,DEVO還在自制的笫一部影片中告訴他 們"關于退化的真相"?,F在,差不多每個人都發現了DEVO的一些明顯特 征∶這五個來自俄亥俄的小流氓都愛穿制服,他們的身高幾乎一樣,他 們的體重幾乎一樣,他們都穿著8c碼數的鞋子。當然,還有些別的∶Al an負責制作出叢林風味的細碎拍子;Jerry則放射著低頻的聲響脈沖;而 Bob二號給他們加上如同機器人般一絲不茍的節奏;Bob一號則用變化多 和混亂不堪的旋律回敬給他的同伴;至于Mark,他用來自外太空的合成器給這個聲音混合體再噴上一層霧氣外衣。另外,他開口的時間要比 其他四個人多得多,因為他是主唱。
More than three decades after the release of its visionary debut, 'Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo,' and a full 20 years since its last studio album, Devo is back with the aptly titled 'Something for Everybody.' The long rumored, wildly anticipated album (which was launched with a memorable performance in Vancouver at the Winter Olympics) features the band's classic line-up - Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh, Gerald and Bob Casale - joined by drummer Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails, Guns n' Roses). Though the songs recorded for 'Something for Everybody' are built on Devo's signature mechanized swing, the recording and presentation of the album saw the band experimenting with an entirely new approach. A series of studies were conducted through the clubdevo.com site to help the band with its creative decisions, from color selection to song mixes. In fact, 16 songs were recorded but only 12 made the final album. DEVO invited fans and critics to help select the songs that they liked best to make the cut by participating in a Song Study at clubdevo.com.
