It's autumn, and the second season of "Summer of the Band" has been completed by more than half. This issue is the second round of the integral competition, which is a band adaptation competition with the theme of classic film and television songs. It can be said that at this stage, the strength of the top ten bands has been obvious to all, and their styles have gradually become familiar to people. The highlight of this issue lies in these bands with strong personal characteristics. What kind of sparks can a pair of them collide?

HAYA+ Super Chop "Once in a Thousand Years"

However, the two bands may have a little too many instruments, a little too full and messy. The other two beautiful snakes dance beautifully. Sure enough, the variety stage is still pleasing to the eye.

About TROS+ Mandarin "Out of the Window"

There's a saying that if you dare to adapt Dou Wei's songs, you're halfway there. Dou Wei's original works are indifferent, Zhou Xun's cover is a little sweet and dreamy, and * * * is characterized by no drums, creating a broad sense of space. Remodeling is just the opposite of Mandarin, which strengthens the existence of drums, leaving only a guitar, the electronic synthesizer is mainly embellished, and the melody is supported by human voice, so the timbre of the whole music itself has changed greatly from virtual to real. Chase's singing is poor, but not to the point of pulling his hips. The arrangement of the whole song is full of remolding temperament, but the existence of Mandarin is low. The comments were extreme, and many die-hard fans in Dou Weili said that they could not accept this subversive adaptation, which I quite liked.

Mosaic +Joyside "Mark's Theme"

What makes this song a little different is that it was originally a BGM without lyrics. The soundtrack is basically a repeated change and expansion of motivation, with a strong sense of posturing in the 1980s and 1990s. Mosaic and Joyside are quite commensurate with the temperament of this song, and both have a sense of prodigal son returning. Dance beauty should be the most imposing group in this program, but the highlights are all on the two lead singers. The atmosphere is good, the rewritten lyrics are not bad, the dry ice gun is fun, and the arrangement is not so good.

Dada+Chair Band "Light Chasers"

These two bands must be the two biggest gaps in the scene. Mainland band VS Taiwan Province band, born in 1970s and 1990s, have totally different growth environments, experiences, tastes, hobbies and even creative habits, which make them look out of place. Not only has Peng Tan never heard the song "Light Chaser", but I have never heard it. After listening to it, I didn't like it at all My feeling is that Peng Tan finally found a song that can reach a consensus with the chairman's orchestra, so he quickly decided to forget it.

The chair band has always made me feel that all the music is similar, and I am really tired of listening to it. Although these two bands are similar in style on the surface, they give me the feeling that they are more separated than HAYA and Super Chop, giving me the feeling that they are separate, and Peng Tan's harmonica and Chen Zhongying's guitar are not integrated. But there is a saying that harmony is good.

Big Wave+Fu Lushou's "Sister, Go Forward Boldly"

There are both the neurotic flavor of Johnny's rotten cottage version and the dark style of Fu Lushou, which makes this song full of drama. However, in the case that the whole sound field is mostly in the middle and low frequency, the addition of suona opens up the tension of music, which has the feeling of magic sound entering the brain. The whole song is full of Li Jian's madness, and the sounds of China drums, suona and peas add a classical oriental texture to this madness. This kind of texture is consistent with the emotion in the original film Red Sorghum, just like Doudou said, "On a red background, a little black shadow is carrying a sedan chair", and there is a figure playing suona next to it, which is full of colors, heavy emotions and strong desire to express.

But it is not enough to express wishes and ideas, which is why Fu Lushou has caused many bad reviews in previous competitions because the form is greater than the content. Fortunately, this time their partner is Li Jian, and his overall grasp and comprehension of music is exactly what Fu Lushou lacks.

It is easy to see in this issue that more experienced bands can always control the whole music and stage better. The five songs are basically dominated by bands with stronger experience and technology. What young bands lack is this practical skill that has been polished for many years. Besides, I don't know if it's the tuning effect or my computer. The high frequency part is always a little unclear. For example, Fu Lushou's harp is basically swallowed. There are only five stages in the competition, so there are many rehearsals and post-picks in the program, which adds a lot of variety effects to the program. The final result is as follows:

The next issue is the third round of theme integral competition, which calls the people who care most, and the sensational scene is coming. Wait and see.

By the way, back in the game's pain. Maybe it's because there are only five stages in this issue, which is too short. But since they are not in pain, I don't believe it. "A touch of stone turns into gold" sounds better, but "May love be carefree" doesn't sound good.

I don't know how the friends evaluate the cooperative performance of the band this summer. Welcome to share your feelings with us in the comments section.
