极 颜 - [ 布鲁斯 Blues Music ] Chicago Blues Radio – Soulful Guitar & Relaxing Blues Music, Vol. 028：后巅峰期的融合与超越 的评论
[alist path="/yd02jt/02.blues/[ 布鲁斯 Blues Music ] Chicago Blues Radio – Soulful Guitar & Relaxing...
The use of extended 9th and 11th chords instead of traditional 7ths, the modal mixture between blues and Aeolian, the inverted chord progressions - this is harmonically the most sophisticated volume in the series. But it never sounds academic. It sounds like the natural language of midnight. That's the highest craft.
作为从Vol. 001开始追的老听众，028给我的感觉是：他们终于把所有想要的东西都放进了一张专辑里。地理身份、吉他深度、氛围沉浸、放松功能、情感复杂性——以前这些分布在不同的子系列里，现在它们住在同一个家里。圆满。
The男女声对唱 in "Parallel Loneliness" is a quiet revolution for this series. Not just because it breaks the all-male pattern, but because the voices are mixed as equal instruments, not competing for attention. Two lonelinesses, parallel, never meeting but aware of each other. Devastating.
听完Vol. 028再回头听早期的作品，突然理解了什么叫做“成熟”。不是更复杂，而是更简单。不是更多技巧，而是更少但更精准的音符。不是更多的情绪，而是更细腻的情绪层次。这条路走了28辑，终于走到了这里。
The "对话式即兴" between left channel guitar and right channel instruments - that's not just stereo imaging, that's compositional philosophy. Two voices, equal but different, completing each other's thoughts. Like the best conversations, you don't know who started it and who's responding.
从Vol. 009到028，见证了吉他从“叙事者”变成“服务者”的过程。009的吉他还会说“看我”，028的吉他在说“听整体”。这种ego的消解，恰恰让整体更强大。艺术创作的悖论在这里被证明了。
As a guitar player, I'm stunned by the restraint. The longest solo is 8 bars. EIGHT. In a genre built on extended solos. But you don't miss them because every phrase is singable, every note carries weight. This is演奏者作为服务者, not as star. Beautiful.
《First Light Without Sunrise》用钢棒吉他创造的那种清澈泛音，配上全部转位的和弦进行（根音永远不出现），完美表现了黎明前那种“悬浮”的状态。天还没亮，但你知道快亮了。这种音乐不需要标题，听就能感觉到。
This is the first volume where I can't hear the production at all. Even 027, for all its polish, you could feel the mastering hand. Here, the technology disappears completely. 70% wet / 30% dry parallel processing, invisible automation, sidechain compression - all invisible. Just music.
《Insomnia's Silver Lining》里那两把吉他反相延迟的处理，是我听过最精准的失眠声学模拟。清醒的思绪和延迟的相位反转信号相互抵消又相互纠缠，像躺在床上想停又停不下来的大脑。中段那个合成器脉冲，像数字时钟闪烁，太狠了。
