序： 读你内心的音乐 the music that know you
夜深人静，月光朦胧，一张发黄的旧相片,一片风干的玫瑰花瓣，一本搁置在抽屉深处的日记，勾起了一段尘封的往事。伴着滴滴嗒嗒的钟声，思绪慢慢倒退，跨过时间的隧道，往事一幕幕。曾经，有过梦想、有过追求、有过幸福、有过气馁、有过悲伤、有过烦恼......一切既清晰又模糊。也许每个人的心中都住着一个感性的精灵，在不经意间总会被一些人或一些事所打动。小娟的歌声就是属于那种很容易打动你我心中那个感性精灵的天籁，娟声就像一位久别重逢的老朋友讲述着每一份久违的情怀，那么亲切、温馨、怀旧，让人一听如故。听，那清新温暖的嗓音在空中飘荡、翩翩起舞，灵动而自由，如微风划过心湖，泛起点点回忆的涟漪，吹走往事的繁杂，留下向往美好的希望。小娟以其独特的唱腔被誉为“中国当代民谣传奇女歌手”。
《如风往事》是乐队成立9年首张纪念专辑，也是史上首张以乐队形式推出的发烧专辑。首首主打，没有MIDI，没有浮华。小娟是山谷里的居民乐队的主唱歌手。其独特的嗓音在山谷里的居民乐队的专业伴奏下更显魅力。 山谷里的居民用心做自己的音乐,不随波逐流、不赶时髦、他们独辟奚径，把人性中最朴实、最善良、最精华的东西展现出来。本张专辑收录的乐队原创歌曲《晚霞》有着特别的意义，纪念着十年前三人相识的最初，纯净如泉的天籁之声感人至深，唤起了人们对宁静淳朴生活的向往。最让我们感动的是小娟和他们团队的敬业态度以及对人生的热忱，我们为能与这样的团队一起合作，感到无比的荣幸和自豪。
本专辑无论是从选曲、编配、唱风还是设计、包装上都怀着淡淡的怀旧。怀旧在声声歌韵中扬起，散发出点点的芬芳；往事如雨般轻轻飘在风里，清新的民谣曲风，舒适的沙发音乐游荡在耳边，小娟&山谷里的居民天籁流水般的声音及优美合声让你的心里涌起了一股浓浓的柔情... 就让往事随风，小娟的歌声将永远伴你勇敢面对未知的未来。

制作人语：
音乐是给人听的，音乐也是很难描述的。
时隔多年，我去听小娟乐队的现场，让我讶异与感动的是，他们竟可以把自己的音乐理念坚持得这么好。我觉得这就是民谣最本质的东西：自然、自由、简约、真实。
决定做这张唱片，我们思考、讨论了很久。在制作过程中我也不断在自我怀疑、自我否定，然后不断地说服自己。我不希望翻唱成为一种破坏，无论是对原作品还是对小娟的音乐。用原创的理解去翻唱，是这张唱片该有的方向。这张唱片并不打算刻意去感动谁，我们正尝试走一条从心灵出发再回归到心灵的路程，现在的我，只想做这样的音乐。

小娟&山谷里的居民简介
小娟本名王秀娟。湖北武汉财经大学毕业。1994年参与录制《摇滚北京Ⅱ》，演唱自己词曲创作的无伴奏歌曲《美丽的魂魄》；1996年在著名音乐人陈哲制作的民谣合辑《第一直觉》中演唱《鸽子泪滴在伤口上》；2006年应邀演绎新民歌运动中坚分子洪启创作的《红雪莲》，并在网络广泛流传。1998年与民歌手黎强、北京大学毕业的于宙组成三人乐队：小娟&山谷里的居民。多年来不间断地创作演出，小娟&山谷里的居民拥有一群忠贞不贰的拥护者。原创代表作品《我的家》、《红布绿花朵》、《山谷里的居民》等等。
为了生命里不能缺失的声音
小娟喜欢阳光，她的善良与温暖就与阳光一般。
小娟的声音就像山谷里的清泉，在阳光下缓缓地流淌着，汇聚一起却可以成为澎湃的江河。
小娟、黎强、于宙就像生活在山谷里的居民，在花香草盛的世界里保持着都市里最后的天然纯净。
这是一张老歌新唱专辑，记录着从1960年代到2000年代的音乐感动轨迹。在山谷里，音乐恢复了最原始的容貌，重新编配的曲风赋予作品崭新的内涵与力量，翻唱的最高礼遇是原创一样的对待。
这就是小娟&山谷里的居民心目中音乐该有的样子——歌唱是为了生命里不能缺失的声音，是为了欢快的舞蹈，是为了受伤后的抚摸，是为了生活看起来比生活还要美好。
编曲与特邀乐手
长时间的编曲讨论，精心制作的过程，缘于对音乐的慎重与尊重。原来，翻唱也可以做到这样动人:简单、清新、质朴，延续的是一直以来的原创精髓。特邀菲律宾鼓手Dominic、钢琴师刘晓光、贝斯张岭、俄罗斯音乐家费佳演奏单簧管&萨克斯，他们不愿强调个人技术，强调的是音乐的空灵与自由。听这些乐手的演奏，小娟&山谷里的居民常常有一种想要流泪的幸福。

After his online debut-album “Vergangenheit und Gegenwart” wich received very good reviews - released at www.lichttaufe.de - follows his first official CD release on ART-KONKRET. The Goddess of hunting and of the winter in the germanic mythology is Skadi. So the CD starts with cold and mystical soundscapes, followed by rituell percussive elements. Skadi creates a dark athmosphere with chants, dark dronings, strings, natural sounds but also with percussions and bells. Because of this SKADI is an interesting mixture of various dark ambient soundscapes.
The project is attractive in its diversified parts. Similarities to projects like Sephiroth respectively Ulf Söderberg, Triarii or Vinterriket can be noticed, without being another copy of them. Opposingly to many monotonous dark ambient projects - which only well disposed listener will be able to differ one track from another, SKADI appears as a catchy project by its rhythmic and melodical elements with Tune Wedgie character. Eliwagar is the soundtrack for the forthcoming cold wintertimes.

With eleven active years behind him the dark Basconian warrior known as Eol returns with his fourth chapter titled ‘Unblessed Woods.’ As usual Elffor is without a label and thus his work has been self released again and limited to just five hundred copies which sold out in two months. So just getting your hands on a copy of this album is going to be a little tricky, but fortunately there are some copies still floating around on eBay.
Elffor’s last release introduced a lot more black metal aspects to the music, but Unblessed Woods is surely Eol’s blackest offering to date. In fact the album largely forgoes a lot of the folky/medieval sounds and occasional clean vocals that were present in the past three offerings in favor of a much more heavily synth laden black metal experience. This time around there’s plenty of brutal drumming and heavy riffing alongside the atmospheric synths and Eol’s agonizing screams.
What I found to be a tad annoying about the album is that on several places the drumming is generally just fast double bass pounding away with barely any other parts of the drums being hit. So lots of times what you hear is super fast double bass, distorted guitars, synths, and screams, and somehow it just doesn’t sound right to me. Fortunately Eol’s one of the best at creating a dark atmosphere through his music and indeed this album retains that same dark feeling that has been present in previous releases. So a plus in that spot, but what also bothers me about the album is that there really isn’t any single song that sticks out from the pack. I mean there good songs and all, but just not really the type of songs that I’d want to rip and put on my mp3 player to listen to often.
Hopefully on the next album Eol will bring back the beautiful folk and medieval music that he blended in so perfectly on past releases or otherwise I think Elffor may lose some of the uniqueness that the band surely had in the past. Unblessed Woods while having some good moments here and there will unfortunately just remain as one of those albums that I’d probably just throw on every now and then if I’m desiring some dark atmospheric black metal.

08. Wicked Shadows 5:09
Three self financed albums deep into his solo project, Eol returns in 2004 with a new album titled ‘From the Throne of Hate.’ Just like his previous effort ’Son of the Shades’ Eol once again delivers a splendid album of ambient, folk, medieval, pagan, and black metal influenced music. The last album was his first to really introduce the metal influences and they were still somewhat minimal, and the less than stellar production made the riffs hard to decipher. Fortunately things have changed on From the Throne of Hate since the production is considerably better, the guitar riffs are actually hearable, and its seems Eol has taken the band sounds more in the vein of Summoning, while of course still keeping Elffor’s old sound intact. The music is still largely keyboard based while the drums and guitars take more of a backseat approach, but are still easily heard and are not overpowered too much by the keyboards. Eol’s vocals remain the same standard black metal screams with somewhat of a Burzum-ish touch to them at times, and the clean vocals are somewhat absent from the album. So besides the metal influences becoming more apparent in his music not much has changed with Elffor.
What I do really enjoy about this release though is the dark synths, folk, and medieval music, which is seamlessly integrated into these songs. The folk and medieval moments are very beautiful, the keyboards are dark and epic sounding, and with the music becoming more black metal influenced you can bet your ass this is one hell of an album. In particular I like ‘Upon the Barbarian Woods,’ which features some of his best keyboard work and towards the middle of the song you can hear a strong early Emperor influence. ‘Echoes of the Past’ & ‘Wicked Shadows’ are also very medieval epic keyboard pieces, which sound just fantastic. Also ‘My Hateful End’ is probably the most metal sounding song on the album opening with fast double bass drumming, guitar, vile screams, and dark atmospheric synths.
All in all a very strong release, which will definitely appeal to the Summoning fans, but also for those that just enjoy heavily keyboard driven atmospheric black metal. To bad for you though since this release has already sold out. Maybe someday someone will notice this incredible band...

It’s been four lengthy years since Elffor’s debut album ‘Into the Dark Forest.’ While the first album was in a way just a typical dark ambient record ‘Son of the Shades’ is so much more. Yes the music is indeed still dark ambient, but the compositions are so much more elaborate and beautiful sounding that this album completely mesmerizes me every time I listen to it. Once again the synth work is very dark and haunting and it has this enchanting wintry feeling to it that makes me feel as if I was standing alone in a snow covered forest late at night. Elffor greatly increases this feeling even further by adding lots of nature samples to the music, which upon closing your eyes one can picture themselves in some forlorn icy land. A feeling that’s hard to fully describe, but is simply flawless in its delivery.
Of course for some people dark ambient music has its limitations so fortunately Elffor gathered some friends to contribute with some additional instruments. This time around the record includes Basque traditional instruments such as the alboka, txalaparta, and tobera plus an oboe, guitars and drum machine were used. Through the use of these instruments the music becomes all the more elaborate and thus making Elffor one very distinctive musical entity. Another nice thing is the vocals, which alternate from grim black metal vocals to spoken word vocals to epic like choirs. Although the vocals are kept to a minimum, but the beautiful music more than makes up for it.
Overall ‘Son of the Shades’ is an extremely innovative piece of music that will easily capture the hearts of fans of medieval, folk, or pagan influenced music. Unfortunately though the album was self-released once again and as you might have guessed has already sold out. With any luck I hope a label will re-release this band’s music some day as such truly original music should not go unheard.
