machine - サイボーグ

網路是廿世紀末人類最偉大的發明。這讓我想到了一些煽動性很強的帥勁酷炫搖滾歌曲。而且，當然要是愈科幻愈好的那種，才跟網路這偉大發明有匹配到嘛。


譬如說，RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE 被收錄於經典科幻動作電影《The Matrix（駭客任務）》片尾曲的《Wake Up》。

《Wake Up》

Come on!
Uggh!

Come on, although ya try to discredit
Ya still never read it
The needle, I'll thread it
Radically poetic
Standin' with the fury that they had in '66
And like E-Double I'm mad
Still knee-deep in the system's shit
Hoover, he was a body remover
I'll give ya a dose
But it can never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy

Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease
When their heads are flown
'Cause all these punks
Got bullets in their heads
Departments of police, the judges, the feds
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

Yeah!
Yeah, back in this...
Wit' poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' dat finesse
Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up
To shake ya up, to break the structure up
'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I'm like takin' photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step
Then bomb a left upon the fascists
Yea, the several federal men
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end
Ya better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
Ya know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

Uggh!
What was the price on his head?
What was the price on his head!

I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard, I think I heard a shot

'He may be a real contender for this position should he
abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine
of non-violence...and embrace black nationalism'
'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to
pinpoint potential trouble-makers... and neutralize them.
Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to
pinpoint potential trouble-makers... and neutralize them
and neutralize them, and neutralize them, and neutralize them'

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

How long? Not long, cause what you reap is what you sow

夠 high 嗎？夠爆炸嗎？醒過來了沒有？襪，有冇搞錯啊大佬，地球都要毀滅了，人類都要被電子章魚殺光了，妳還渾渾噩噩庸庸碌碌躲在紅紅黏黏的蛋形果凍裡睡覺當回收電池？






更科幻的歌來了。來自日本的 machine 二人組，兩年前我也曾經寫過專文表達我個人對她們的喜愛。

《サイボーグ》

作詞 : HAKUEI
作曲 : Kiyoshi


（我在網路上找不到這首歌的歌詞... >___<）

啊，我在網路上找不到這首歌的歌詞。但總之歌名《サイボーグ》其實是《CYBORG》的片假名。我很喜歡這種跳躍的節奏，隨之起舞的貝斯聲線，還有帥勁狂飆的電吉他。有人把這種加入電子／工業／噪音元素的搖滾樂取了個比音樂辭典裡既有 industrial-rock 更酷炫的 cyber-rock 樂風標籤，我最喜歡這種類型的音樂了。

電腦的發明，讓作音樂變得更容易了。也讓更多音樂人，能夠利用電腦製造出單憑人力恐怕所無法完成的聲音波形，還有拼貼出的強烈快速鼓擊節奏。我覺得科幻搖滾真的很酷啊。網路很酷，電腦很酷，就人類很蠢很笨很愛自相殘殺自我毀滅。嘿！賣擱睏啊！wake up！醒來吧！機械革命啦！
