Exodus

Bob Marley音樂專輯

Reggae樂大師Bob Marley在1977年推出的經典專輯,專輯名為《出埃及記》,一語雙關,一方面是由於專輯中的同名歌曲的取材自聖經故事,更主要的含義是樂隊遠赴倫敦進行了後期製作,讓Reggae樂進一步走向國際。關於音樂的主題,Bob Marley認為可以用一首歌曲的名字來概括,那就是One Love。專集中的"Jamming", "Waiting in Vain" 和 "One Love/People Get Ready" 等都是在國際範圍內得到認同的歌曲。在1998年, TIME雜誌把這張專輯命名為20世紀最偉大的專輯(沒有“之一”)這張專輯在滾石雜誌選出的500張歷代最強專輯中排名第169位。

專輯簡介


雷蓋音樂結合了傳統非洲節奏,美國的節奏藍調及原始牙買加民俗音樂,這種風格包含了弱拍中音節省略,向上拍擊的吉他彈奏,以及人聲合唱。歌詞多以拉斯特法里(牙買加黑人教派) 的宗教傳統為主,強調社會,政治及人文的關懷。

專輯背景


這是他的第6張專輯,於1977發行,Bob音樂生涯上最重要的大碟,講述的是各個古代以色列人在摩西率領下為尋找自由而從巴比倫出走的故事,而Marley也在音樂的思考中找到了他的信仰——拉斯特法里教。
