55. Dreams drift with the wind - Tengger and Canglang Band

Tengger is the son of the nomads, and he pours out his heart and singing with his affectionate and rough voice It not only spread all over mainland China, but also shocked Taiwan, which is known as a treasure island. In February 1994, "Tengger and the Canglang Band" was published by the China Musician Publishing House.

In 1975, Tengger, who was still in middle school, was selected by the school to be sent to the Hohhot Inner Mongolia Art School to study , three-stringed, and other musical instruments. In 1979, he was selected by the art school and sent to the China Conservatory of Music in Beijing to study conducting. In 1980, he was admitted to the Tianjin Conservatory of Music. Theoretical composition department studies composition. His first song was composed of a poem called "Mongols" by the poet Qimu De. This song also became the theme song of the Mongolian movie "Tribe". On the way to the creation of popular songs. He composed nearly 80 songs in one breath, and gradually formed his own style through exploration. The music industry believes that his works have strong national characteristics. In the arrangement, he often uses matouqin, , sanxian, and flute. and other national musical instruments are orchestrated.

In the early 1990s, Tengger still did not attract too much attention in the mainland. On the contrary, it has already set off the Tengger rock craze in Taiwan for nearly two years. Albums such as "Start", "Eight Thousand Miles of Road Clouds and Moon", "Yellow is Yellow", "Dream Gone With the Wind" and other albums.

"Tengger and the Canglang Band" published by China National Music Publishing House is 90% the same as the Taiwan version of "Dream with the Wind", while the imported version of "Dream with the Wind" has 90% of the tracks From the Taiwan version of the album "Yellow is Yellow". 1994 was the heyday of rock Beijing, so mainland record companies were more willing to launch Tengger as a rock band to gain wider attention. The musicians of the

Canglang Band are also all good. The guitarist is Xiao Yiping from Xindi Band; the keyboard player is also Tutu from Inner Mongolia. He collaborated with Yin Xiangjie and Xie Dong last year Published a box of Chinese rap album called "So-and-so"; drummer Zhao Muyang needless to say; Matouqin Zhang Quansheng is still active on the stage of folk music; bass player is agate.

Tengger's wish is to allow Chinese people all over the world to hear his singing. His creations are full of the local flavor of 's Chinese folk song , as well as the rock flavor of 's avant-garde . There are both singing and singing in the song, which reflects his good wishes for the global Chinese to unite and work hard to create a world of great harmony.

56. Tong Kong

Tong Kong's original name is Zhang Haibo. When he was 18 years old, Pacific Audio and Video Company had already published his solo album "Strong Song" (cover). When he was 26 years old, he was discovered by Chen Fuming, a well-known producer in Taiwan. After two years of cooperation, Zhang Haibo changed to a foreign stage name Tong Kong and released his first self-titled album by UFO Records. In the Taiwan version of

's copywriting, the staff described Tong Kong as: Cui Jian 's criticism, Tengger's heroic, Tang Dynasty shouting, Dou Wei 's rebellion. The description is a little exaggerated, and there were indeed mainland music critics who thought that if there was no Zheng Jun in 1994, Tong Kong would probably be on fire. In Tong Kong's voice,

was born with a dull pain, very vicissitudes and self-esteem. In his album,Although he only composed the lyrics and music of 4 songs, and these 4 songs really have the characteristics of Beijing rock music , but the expression of voice and thinking only belongs to him.

Chen Fuming didn't dare to bet everything on rock and roll, so he recruited top singers in Taiwan, Su Rui and Zhang Yusheng , to sing with Tong Kong in the Qiong Yao costume drama "Two Eternals" respectively. The theme songs "There is a Drunk" and "Two Eternals". Even though the two big names have already sung in order to avoid overwhelming the audience, their skillful quality still easily compares Tong Kong. The rest of the works did not escape the established routine of Taiwanese love songs, so it is not too surprising that this album was buried in that year.

However, after "Tang Dynasty", "Black Panther" and "Breathe", they took the lead in launching the band's first rock album "Choose Strong". On the cover, the compass band collectively wore the Harley motorcycle leather jacket. This outfit was also a must-have iconic dress for the robbers at that time. Whenever someone wanted to get into the robbery pit, usually bystanders would say, hurry up and buy that leather jacket Bar! The planning and music director of the album is Wang Xiaojing , and the planning and lyricist is Luo Bing , which is produced by Compass. Although

's "Please Walk the Sidewalk" first appeared in the "Rock Beijing" platter, the album still re-recorded this song in a new version. Luo Qi 's singing skills are becoming more and more powerful. After Weihua , she was also crowned the title of "China's No. 1 Rock Girl".

's "Choose Strong" uses a narrative method to describe Luo Qi's psychology after suffering from eye stab wounds. She controls her emotions very calmly, and the content of the lyrics is also very inspirational. The male voice in the song "Idol" is not recorded in the copy, and it is also a knot that has puzzled me over the years. Now I finally know that the male voice turned out to be Zhou Di . I speculated back then whether it would be Zhang Ju or Liu Zhengrong .

Regrettably, the Compass and Wang Xiaojing parted ways soon after the album was released, and only Luo Qi stayed in Star Butterfly. What exactly happened, I'll talk about it later when I write other albums.

58. Naked

is actually quite bold to use "Naked" as the album title. It might be safer to call it "Back to Lhasa". But there are some things that cannot be over-thought. Although Zheng Jun also stumbled between ideals and reality, it did not affect him to become the most successful rock singer in 1994.

In 1992, Zheng Jun originally came to Beijing to apply for a visa and planned to go to a school in New York to study foreign trade. His cousin was studying at the Second Foreign Studies University in Beijing, and he temporarily lived in the university's dormitory. One day, he caught up with the college students who were holding a literary salon in the school, and he sang the song "Back to Lhasa" on stage. The result made the audience go crazy. After he stepped down, someone introduced him to Guo Chuanlin. After listening to several Zheng Jun's works, Guo thought that Zheng Jun was a material to be a singer, and immediately became his manager.

Guo Chuanlin was planning to make an album for Zheng Jun in partnership with Leslie, but just as they were about to do it, the two broke up. Leslie had tasted the sweetness from the first album of Black Panther, and now signed Zheng Jun, so he set up a music production company in Beijing, and later had Red Star Production Company .

Zheng Jun is the first signed singer of the Red Star Production Club, but he also brought a good harvest to the production club. He plays the more westernized rhythm and blues , and at the same time has a handsome appearance, which makes it easier for people who are not familiar with him to have a good impression. He uses the brisk rhythm to eliminate the bitterness and resentment in the blues music . He can also play heavy rock with indulgence, grasp his own feelings in the creation, and bring to the rock fans. Good music with a distinct personality.

59. The egg

under the red flag is Cui Jian's third rock album in the true sense. A quote from him is that he flew alone. There are only 8 songs in the album, and the average duration of each song exceeds 7 minutes. This is another challenge for Cui Jian to the bottom line of commercialization. The dense guitar strums and equally dense percussion of

"Flying" have left little room for background music, and the saxophone sound like a snake wriggles completely fills the few remaining background gaps. It's hard to understand what Cui Jian is singing even if you stare at the lyrics.

"Tolerance" is a soothing song, if you want to find the shadow of " Flower Girl " in it, it will definitely disappoint you. The intoxicating melody reflects suppressed resentment, and the phrases repeatedly read the contradiction between "tolerance" and "intolerance" deep in his heart.

"Egg under the Red Flag of " is a bit different. Cui Jian used an almost farce to show that reality is like a rock, and the spirit is like an egg. Although the rock is hard, the egg is the life.

's "The Last Complaint" is an early old work, so it also retains a relatively beautiful melody, and the structure of the music is tight and complete. It is said that the earlier version was more depressing than the current one, so there is reason to wonder if this album has brought Cui Jian back to the early creative state?

Cui Jian's lyrics are always worth reading over and over again. Compared with previous works, this time the lyrics are more mature and perfect. The avant-garde he has shown in music is getting further and further away from the people who were crazy about him, but it also reminds you that you should never expect to predict what he will do next.

60. Out of the door

The rock music scene in the south, Wang Lei is the back It deserves the banner of the first rock man. Although Zhang Mengmeng and have been under the banner of Pacific Ocean and have been shouting for the big rock flag of the South for many years, his music style and packaging still cannot make him out of the suspicion of idolization. The production base of "Going Out" is located in Guangzhou. In addition to the backbone of music production in the south: Xie Chengqiang , Laozai , Bi Xiaodi, there are also from Beijing: Cao Jun, Chen Jin, Zhao Muyang, etc. A person with a background. However, Wang Lei, who was carrying a suitcase, came from an inland province - Sichuan. The background sample of

's "People Going Out" is full of whistles, loud voices on the platform, and laughter of women. When I closed my eyes, what appeared in my mind was a picture of a messy but modern city. And Wang Lei started his journey in confusion and confusion. He was bored with everything, but he was homeless. In the end, he could only sigh and say that it was not easy to go out! Wang Lei's music has heavier punk and psychedelic colors, but it is very compatible with his unique personality of "going out", which really brings unexpected impact to those who listen to his music. All the works of

"Going Out" were created between 1988 and 1991. During this period, Wang Lei used to break dance for a living and wandered in Guangdong, Hainan, Fujian and other cities. The original intention of the creation was just to listen to his girlfriend at the time, and some works were heard by Xie Chengqiang of "New Air"After that, he immediately gave him strong encouragement and provided assistance with materials. After four years of self-made demo tape (DEMO), the album "Going Out" was finally published by Jingwen Audio and Video, and released in Hong Kong at the same time. a CD. The overseas version of the

album allowed Wang Lei to get 60,000 Hong Kong dollars in royalties. When it was published in China, Jingwen Company also paid him 40,000 yuan in royalties. This money prompted Wang Lei to really focus his work on music and Making rock music has been his life's work. Only after working for many years did he discover that he had never received a cent of royalties from the mainland.

61. Black Panther II - God of Light (JVC version)

Guo Chuanlin terminated the contract with the Rolling Stones in a rage, and established his own Beijing Hongtai Culture and Art Communication Company in 1993. The first album made by the company was "Black Panther II", which received far less response in the market than the first album. In the early stage of the mainland's record production industry, there is still a big gap between Hong Kong and Taiwan in terms of production experience and publicity. In 1994, Guo also considered cooperating with Leslie, but in the end he didn't agree. But in November, he finally finalized a partnership with Japan's JVC record company , so "Black Panther" has truly become a rock band going abroad. In

's "Puncture Action" in 1993, Luan Shu sang no less than 30 times in one go, but when he was about to be fully accepted by fans, he chose to leave "Black Panther" just like Dou Wei did. He is a person who loves horse riding very much, and even regards it as the most important part of his life. He is by no means the kind of love that Ye Gong loves like a dragon. In the equestrian competition of the National Games, he actually won the championship. Black Panther and equestrianism must be one, between fish and bear's paw, Luanshu chose equestrianism, and established the first "equestrian club" in Beijing. Not long after

, Qin Yong took over as the lead singer, and the special keyboard Feng Xiaobo, , who was a special guest in "Puncture Action", also officially joined the "Black Panther". They all just caught up with the signing of JVC, and JVC is very business-minded Yes, before the "Black Panther" could not immediately come up with a new work, they remixed the master tape of last year's "Black Panther II", and put it on a beautiful packaging envelope and officially launched the overseas version. After

's professional Japanese clothing styling and hair design, the members of "Black Panther" have also changed their faces, and they look more like "Rock Star". It's just that after the master was remixed, the low frequencies were significantly accentuated, the soundtrack of Luanshu's lead sounded slightly unbalanced, and some samples of the original master were cut off. In my personal opinion, I still prefer the old version of the Hongti period. When the JVC version was released in the mainland, the main soundtrack of the song "God of Light" was replaced by Qin Yong. In the overseas version, all the main soundtracks were Luanshu.

"Black Panther" signed a contract with JVC record company, which is a new creation for Chinese rock music, and their third album is also very worth looking forward to. Producer of
