I-albhamu kaLou Reed yodwa malunga nokuhluka njengayo nayiphi na ikhathalogu enye yomculi kwi pop yaseMelika.

Umculo awarekhoda iilebhile ze-RCA kunye ne-Arista kwii-70s kunye nee-80s zinesabelo sengonyama seLon Island yasemva kwexesha yeVelvet Underground canon. Yidiski ephindaphindayo njengependulum ejingayo yonyamezelo nokunyamezelana, kubhukishelwa licwecwe elinye elithathwa njengekhrimu epheleleyo yedwala 'n roll lexicon (1972's Inguqu ) kunye nesinye isihloko esingcikiweyo ngabagxeki IChicago Tribune ’UGreg Kot wakhe wayibhengeza njengengxolo engenamsebenzi enokuchazwa kuphela njengesenzo esibi esijolise kushishino lwerekhodi, isiqhulo esibi, okanye zombini kuphononongo lwenkwenkwezi enye luka-1975 Umculo woMatshini wentsimbi .

Nangona kunjalo, ukugqwesa kweli xesha lomsebenzi kaLou Reed kugubungele uninzi lwezihloko ezikhutshiweyo ngelixa wayerekhoda zombini i-RCA kunye neArista, ngamanye amaxesha eclip LPs ezilungileyo ukuba zingangcono kunezo zikaReed ezigqwesileyo ( IConey Island Baby, Iintsimbi kwaye Imaski eBlue Zonke ziphikisana ngexilongo Inguqu ) kunye nolunye ukhetho oluye lwatyeshelwa ngokungathandekiyo okanye banikwa nje rap embi ngumgxeki ngentonga phezulu kwe-esile labo malunga noLou ngelo xesha (ngakumbi emva koko).

Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, kukho izihloko ezibalaseleyo ezivela kweli xesha lomsebenzi kaRed ezifanele ukuphononongwa ngokutsha, yiyo loo nto ukukhutshwa Ingqokelela yeAlbhamu yeRCA kunye neArista Iveki ephelileyo ibiyinto elindelwe kakhulu ngabo babethanda kwaye bexabisa iReed kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe, hayi nje ii-cliches zentsomi yakhe.

Iveliswe nguReed ngeLifa eliRekhodwayo leVP yeA & R Rob Santos kunye nomhlobo wexesha elide kunye nomlingani uHal Willner, le bhokisi intle eyakhiwe nge-12-by-12-intshi limited-edition set was the last thing Reed was works in in the studio before he succumbed to liver disease ndineminyaka engama-71 ngo-Okthobha 27, 2013. Kwaye ithini ingxelo yokugqibela. Ezi albhamu zili-16-zikhutshwe kwisithuba seminyaka eli-15 ukuya kumanqanaba ohlukeneyo aziwayo kunye nenzondo-azange zivakale ngcono nokuba ubazithanda okokuqala okanye hayi.

Lo msebenzi wenziwe eNew York's Masterdisk ngoJuni nangoJulayi 2013, uWillner utyhila kumanqaku e-liner aboniswe kwincwadi yetafile enoqweqwe oluqinileyo enamaphepha angama-80 enezinto ezikhunjulwayo ezisuka koovimba bakudala bakaReed. Wonke umntu owayekuloo gumbi okanye ejikeleze uLou ngeli xesha wabona into entle njengoko ngehlombe ekhumbula lonke ixesha lomsebenzi wakhe ngovuyo lokuphinda afumane, echwayitile echaza ubuqili kwizandi angazange azive kwiminyaka.

Apha ngezantsi kukho ii-albhamu ezintlanu ezikhethiweyo Ingqokelela yeAlbhamu yeRCA kunye neArista Eso sikhundla siphakathi kweyona nto ibalaseleyo kaReed-kokubini kukuphinda kufunyanwe kwakhona ngo-sonic kunye nobuhle-kodwa abangazange bafumane ukudunyiswa okufanelekileyo ebekufanele ukuba bakonwabele xa bekhululwa okokuqala. Kuwo wonke umculo omnandi, ocel'umngeni kunye noxhokonxa iingcinga uLou Reed usinike wona ngexesha lakhe elifutshane kakhulu emhlabeni, kufanelekile kuye ukuba anike ezi rekhodi umpu wesibini ukuba uziphephile okokuqala okanye waphenjelelwa kukungakhathali uphononongo. Ayisiyonto eyenzelwe wena kuphela-iyakugcoba iigiya zakho kuludwe oluzayo lweBootleg Series isimbo sokugcina uthotho lweLifa lokurekhodwa kucwangcisa ukukhutshwa kwiinyanga nakwiminyaka ezayo.

I-albhamu yokuqala, ngaxa lithile, wayengafuni ukuyifaka apho, uyachaza uSantos, owayesebenza noLou Reed kwiiprojekthi ezahlukeneyo eziphinda ziphinde zenziwe ukusukela kwiminyaka yoo-90. Wayebuyile kwiseshoni ngenye imini kwaye wayefana nje, ‘Ewe, inyani, andiyifuni phaya.’ Kuthathe into eyakhayo ukumenza ukuba asibandakanye.

Kuya kufuneka sonwabe xa uRed wagqiba kwelokuba apolishe igama lakhe lokuqala ngo-1972 njengesiqhelo somntu, esithi, ewe, ikakhulu senziwe ngokurekhodwa kwakhona kweengoma zeVelvet Underground. Kurekhodwe eMorgan Studios yaseLondon ngeqela leseshoni yeemvumi zase-UK ezikhokelwa nguSteve Howe noRick Wakeman ka-Ewe, uhlaziyo olwenziweyo ngobungcali bezinto ezinjalo ze-VU ezinje ngo-Lisa Says, Ride Into the Sun nase-Ocean zenza ukumamela okumnandi kakhulu.

Kukho inguqulelo entle yaseBerlin kule rekhodi nayo. Nangona kunjalo, ubucwebe obufihliweyo ULou Reed yeyona track yayo ikhethekileyo, Ukuya ezantsi, eyongezwe ngumculo wepiyano omnandi kangaka, waseWakeman kunzima ukukholelwa ukuba kwavela kwizandla ezifanayo ezanceda ukudala i-progast bombast ye-Yes Abuthathaka ngaphakathi kwiinyanga ezili-12 ezifanayo.

Ukuba kukho icwecwe elinye elivela kule bhokisi libeka mhlawumbi elona gama lingaqondakaliyo, yiRed's LP yokugqibela yeRCA, ngo-1986 Mistrial.

URobert Christgau uyiqwalasele i-LP ibuthathaka, ngelixa abanye abagxeki beyibhala njengesiqinisekiso esinyanzelekileyo sokufezekisa kunye ne-spark encinci xa kuthelekiswa nezinye ii-albhamu zeRed solo kwaye zixinaniswe kwimveliso yee-80s. Intshatsheli enye yerekhodi, nangona kunjalo, yayinguDavid Fricke, owathi kwinkupho kaJuni 19, 1986 ka Amatye agiqekayo yamkela ukusetyenziswa kwe-albhamu yemveliso yanamhlanje yexesha, eyongeziweyo ngokubambisana ne-Latin pop icon uRubén Blades.

Ngaloo ndlela yokuthengisa, Mistrial yingcongolo yesiqhelo, isikhumbuza IConey Island Baby 'Ujingi oshushu, ubhala. 'Ndikukhumbule' ngobumnene bumpumps kwaye ugaya kwi-hook enesangqa esetyhula, eyaphuma nge-guitars ekhokelayo kunye ne-vocal male vocal by salsa superstar uRubèn Blades kunye ne-Reed's bassist kunye nomlimi-mveliso, uFernando Saunders. 'Akukho mali Phantsi,' i-albhamu ye-sassy ye-flagship engatshatanga, isusa ngenkqubo ye-elektroniki ekhawulezileyo egunyaziswe sisiginkci sikaReed esidlangalaleni kunye ne-guitar-sax evelele kakhulu.

Ukumamela Mistrial Kwiminyaka engama-30 kamva, ngokusebenzisa i-lens yovavanyo lwasemva kweminyaka eliwaka lwe-80s yemveliso yepop, iziqhamo zeBlades kunye nabasebenzi bakaSaunders ngokuhlangeneyo njengabavelisi akukho nto imfutshane kukutyhilwa, ngakumbi wakufika kwisiphelo sokugqibela, Yixelele Intliziyo yakho. , enye yeengoma ezimnandi kwi-Reeu's oeuvre kunye nefuthe elibonakalayo elicacileyo kwicala elathathwa yi-U2 ukuya embindini ukuya ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yee-80s.

Sonke sibeka izinto zethu kuLou ukumenza afikeleleke ngakumbi, utshilo uSaunders. Kwaye sarekhoda Mistrial kwisikhululo samandla, apho uSteve Winwood wayesenza icwecwe lakhe kumgangatho omnye, uCyndi Lauper wayesenza icwecwe lakhe komnye umgangatho ngelo xesha. Kwaye wonke umntu owayesebenza kweso studio wayesebenza kunye nobuchwephesha obufanayo, umfana ogama linguArtie.

Ukuba nevidiyo ethandwayo kwi-MTV yodwa enye Akukho mali iphantsi ikwadlale indima ekuncedeni Mistrial ufumane abaphulaphuli ngokubanzi. Ekhokelwa ngu-duo waseNgilandi u-Godley & Crème, owayekhe wanceda u-Wang Chung, Amapolisa kunye no-Duran Duran ngelo xesha, iklip yayikhawuleze yabangela impikiswano njengoko yayisenza ukuba abanye abantwana babukele ekhaya kunye ne-animatronic yayo ejijekileyo. ividiyo eyayiphakathi kweMax Headroom kunye Iiskena .

Le vidiyo ineerobhothi yenziwa kwasekuqaleni kwingoma ethi 'Ubundlobongela beVidiyo', ukhumbula uSaunders. Kodwa yayiyinto engaqhelekanga ukubona le vidiyo yomntu oqhawula ubuso bakhe kwaye eve le ngoma ye poppy. Yayisebenza ngokubonakalayo ngokuchasene nengoma. Ukuba basebenzise ividiyo yengoma ebifanele ukuba isetyenziselwe, andicingi ukuba bekuya kubakho ingxaki kule vidiyo kuba umxholo wayo ulungile kwisihloko. 'Ubundlobongela beVidiyo'. Kodwa uLou uthathe isigqibo sokuba ufuna ukusebenzisa iirobhothi, kwaye bendisendlwini yakhe wayidlalela mna wandijonga, kuba wayibona indlela endiphendula ngayo wathi, 'Ewe, ayiyonto eyakho.' Ke iMTV iyikhuphile le vidiyo kwaye bebefumana iifowuni zokuba abantwana bayakhala, bayoyika, kwaye kufuneka bayithathe.

Njengama-albhamu amaninzi angaqondwanga kakuhle ziimpawu ze-AOR kwii-1980s, zatyhilwa phantsi kwesithambiso seendlela ezifanelekileyo zemveliso ezikhoyo ezinye zezona zinto zibalaseleyo zikaReed.

Eli yayingelilo icwecwe le-pop elisisiyatha, utsho uSaunders. Ukuba umamela amazwi athi 'Akukho Mali Phantsi' okanye 'Yixelele Intliziyo Yakho' okanye ezinye zezo ngoma, yayingumlingo kumagama kaLou enza ukuba icwecwe libe likhulu kangaka. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba luhlobo luni lwengoma, xa kungena elo lizwi, uyazi ukuba nguLou. Kwaye Mistrial yintoni eyamenza waba mkhulu ngelo xesha, ngakumbi kunomathotholo wepop apho abo DJ babelinde ukudlala into yakhe entsha kwirediyo yakusasa nasemva kwemini. Isebenze njengokuseta okugqibeleleyo kwifayile ye- Inew York icwecwe.
