Fear Stalks the Land! — Thom Yorke & Stanley Donwood

-

我是一名Radiohead迷。我認為Radiohead從90年代至今，在英國獨立樂團中仍是風格獨樹鮮明的存在，Stanley Donwood的藝術設計是無可取代的幕後功臣。Thom Yorke和Stanley Donwood二人在大學裡結識後，自1994年的〈My Iron Lung〉起，Stanley Donwood操刀了Radiohead的每張專輯，我也自此成了這位神秘低調光頭眼鏡大叔的粉絲。

這本口袋尺寸的小書是1999至2000年間，二人在創作〈Kid A〉和〈Amnesiac〉期間所留下的創作記錄；包含初出的歌詞、草圖塗鴉、傳真、交換想法的註解、筆記、各種清單、靈光乍現的詞藻…。

身為粉絲，自然是邊聽著音樂邊翻閱著，它像鏡子一般，一一映照出那些光線暗處的細節。

In which the writings of the authors Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood are gathered together.

This commonplace book includes faxes, notes, fledgling lyrics, sketches, lists of all kinds and scribblings towards nirvana, as were sent between the two authors during the period 1999 to 2000 during the creation of the Radiohead albums Kid A and Amnesiac. 

This is a document of the creative process and a mirror to the fears, portents and fantasies invoked by the world as its citizens faced a brave new millennium.
