有人说,Disco音乐已经死了,但它的元素仍然活在很多其它音乐风格里。这都是事实,作为电子/舞曲走向大众化的先驱,Disco不仅是功不可没,而且是最大的助力者,House当中也含有Disco元素。许多人总将老年迪斯科挂在嘴边,可是作为一个跟风的口头禅,大家真的明白它是什么吗?
今年蹦迪一词大热,大部分人还是不明白真正的蹦迪和Rave的区别,对于比较随便的人而言,蹦迪仅仅是Rave的一个代名词,他们要表达的并不是真正的蹦迪(一本正经地聊聊到底什么是蹦迪。)。Disco音乐和蹦迪是共同存在的,蹦迪就是跳迪斯科舞蹈,这里本身也有特定舞种(复古十五年:什么是Disco Music(迪曲)。)。
无论老式Disco音乐是否已经死亡,真正的Disco舞蹈已经很难看到了,演变出的反而是广场舞,我认为广场舞是最接近Disco舞蹈的一种。路过广场舞场地的时候经常看到许多老爷爷/老奶奶他们秀出了Disco舞姿,尽管他们压根不知道这种舞姿的名字。相同的是,他们也不知道自己放的广场舞配乐是什么音乐风格。
Disco舞厅已经死去,取而代之的是升级版并且改了名字的Club和Bar(大多数国人分不清酒吧和夜店)。如果真的要对老年迪斯科做一个完整的定义,我相信70年代的Disco音乐可以真正称之为老年迪斯科。Disco舞蹈从来加以改变,也自然没有什么新老之分。但本该是主体的Disco音乐在现代早已不是以前那样,Nu Disco等大量Disco分支才能用于涵盖如今的单曲。
也就是说现在已经没有真正的老年迪斯科音乐了,如果你想听,必须找到70年代到80年代那段时间的才能感受到。为什么呢?因为不管是音色/设备还是制作方式,现在即使有音乐制作人&DJ称自己的音乐风格为Disco,也和老Disco有很大差异。
关于Disco音乐是什么,之前的文章也已经说过,不再赘述。为什么70年代到80年代是黄金期?有人认为Disco的黄金期是60年代,冲击了所有流行音乐,当时没有什么人继续做纯Pop,大部分流行音乐歌手都转型至Disco,电子元素和欢快的节奏令大家爱不释手,Pop相比之下太无聊。
确有此事,但是在时间方面是错误的。60年代是Disco音乐的发芽期,压根就没有多红,也不至于占领乐坛。Disco真正占领乐坛是70年代到80年代,你可以找到当时最火的音乐去听听看,全部都是Disco,以上的现象也应该是在70年代的时候最为明显。
那么接下来,我们将为大家整理出100首70年代到80年代的真正老年迪斯科音乐。或许有些资源在墙内是没有的,因为这不同于平时的音乐风格介绍只有五首列举,我会过滤掉墙外才有的资源。所以有兴趣的自己回顾一下当时,这是真正意义上的复古。
