Leona Naess的老爸的前妻是个名人，自小在伦敦长大。不知道是不是最近"Lie to Me"看得过了，老觉得伦敦人民特极端。他们平常都云出而作雨停而息(伦敦没太阳啊...)尽忠职守(就是效率慢一点)不功不过地过日子，一旦疯起来就把外面文明人的外皮一脱就来一场与酒精美女的翻云覆雨。表现在Cal Lightman这种智商高且极度压抑且有偷玉枕纱厨窥癖的人身上就成了测谎专家，表现在出于名门却偏偏生了副一般嗓子的伦敦女身上，乐评们说这声音是"不带鼻音和做作的清新"。

Fanfarlo一共有6个人，5男1女，手捧各种各样的原声乐器：小号、小提琴、曼陀林、劈琴、吉他……身上看不到任何Gary Go们传统与异数英伦摇滚的范儿，唯有高潮般升起的“华丽丽”器乐编配提醒听众这是来自伦敦的文艺青年们。尽管如此，头儿Simon Balthazar还是一头扎进了瑞典的小清新里面，民谣风从第一首I'm a Pilot开始漫溢。温暖的键盘起调，连接与铺垫全靠忽远忽近的铃鼓与脚步声；猛然停下来亮了闪烁其中的三角铁声音（或者是风铃？）。铺陈逐渐繁杂而推向高潮，Simon厚重的男声却坚持用接不上气的哼唱表现某种高清的峰值。"on my mind..."唱完，本期待场面应该像"Give Peace a Chance"一样激烈，气氛却完全静了下来……没有下文。
当然作为debut album，Fanfarlo的风格可不止这么简单。Luna身上还是可以看出早期英伦摇滚对节奏和速度的重视和放大；Comets开篇的扫弦显示在电平图上仿佛无数在女友家中垃圾里生长的豆芽；Drowning Men用小号痛快讲述一个关于溺水的小故事；Good Morning Midnight则仿佛走入神奇东方的post rock，无声小品简致又不失"I am Robot and Proud"的层次感……Deluxe Version中的数首Bonus也绝非只是换汤之作，可有没有人能告诉我Tudor Court在哪？

01. This little life of mine
02. She kissed me (it felt like a hit)
03. Hold on

05. Never going' on
06. The power and the glory
07. Lord let it rain on me
08. The ballad of Richie Lee
09. Cheapster
10. Rated X
11. Lay it down slow
听来听去，Spiritualized最经典的那张还是"Ladies and Gentlemen, We're Floating in Space"经典：细腻而宏伟叙事的小编制弦乐令人不禁想起Collective Soul的盛况。而"Amazing Grace"，一张数个星期制作时间的专辑远没有达到听众们的期望，却阴差阳错写就一首Lay it Down Slow成为了Prison Break结局的片尾曲。到底谁是谁的Music Video，谁是谁的Background Music……这问题变得有点耐人寻味。
从This Little Life of Mine的狂热和痴态开始，Jason儿童般地不断扭动着一个巨大的水龙头，把人们开始引入自己凄凉的内心。继续，继续听下去，She Kissed Me的轻佻，Cheapster的嬉皮，Rated X的暗涌，他分明是那个黑暗舞台上的领主。间中又夹杂着Oh Baby的倾诉，Lord Let it Rain to Me的虔诚，The Ballad of Richie Lee的挣扎，面孔变得难以分别。直到最后，在你如同Jason一样迷茫和无措的时候……
于是Diego Stocco，这个来自加州的小伙子在某天下午搬动后院沙子时候突发奇想，开始记录沙子们的声音。找来薄膜式压电传感器（没猜错的话应该还有直接入MIC的BG轨），连上他的麦书创造这次前所未有的"organic"创作。主旋律音轨的波形通过传感器实现对沙摩擦音色的采样再用键盘输入，旋律本身极具自然色彩美感又加上独一无二的“沙子音色”自是相得益彰；背景的节奏音轨则是直接入麦，不失鲜明节拍的对比同时又赋予沙子自身流动的质感。某些音色更是Stocco在自己手指贴上传感器直接于沙堆中摩挲形成（这个珍贵的镜头可以在Viemo的录像里面看到:]）。而在第二支：Passage to Atlantis中，Stocco在沙子的基础上加入海浪、鲸鱼和海豚的声音。虽然很可能都只是软模拟，但也同样令人印象深刻。

有一天晚上纽约大停电。在Rachel的"朋友区市长" ("Major of Her Friends Zone") Ross在阳台试图表白但被后来出现那个讨厌的意大利佬Paolo的猫一顿骚扰的当儿 (果然是物似主人形)，坐在黑暗的20号公寓里面的Joey，Monica和Phoebe唱了一首名叫"Top of the World"的歌。Friends的第一季发行于1994年；而来自The Carpenters的"Top of the World"发行于1973年。当我们走近Friends们的年龄，是否还能想起21年前的某一首歌并在那些黑暗的时刻与朋友齐声唱和呢？

Keren Ann, Karen Carpenters, Agnes Kain... K开头的名字怎么那么多！等一下，这次其实是两个人：Chanelle Afford和Stefan Simunic。这俩从小在澳大利亚同一条街上长大的青梅竹马除了会演奏叮叮咚咚的曼陀林，吱吱喳喳的Melodica以外，应该还有很多故事。这些反映在没心没肺的歌词里面，浮现出两小无猜的友情，迷离甜蜜的爱情，还有冗长真挚的亲情。也许有时候连他们都分不清什么样的情感了，那就别多想，继续呆在他们的spare room把专辑录好。于是他们的influences就如同生活琐事一样：a bit of this and a bit of that。
