Spice

本张专辑是对IDM的尝试性试验，与之前两张专辑的诡吊，混沌，黑暗不同，路障是一张略显清淡的专辑，旋律和节奏的层层排列和堆叠意外的并不使歌曲繁复冗长，而是显得透气和清新，重复的音节为听者拧上发条，轻则抖腿重则全身抽筋。它可能是一个偶然跳脱的数字序列，可能是一个云雾迷茫的征兆，或者可能只是思绪飞行轨迹上的一个路障。

故障四方是香料为原创虚拟演出系列IP「新武林」首演创作的同名EP。香料用故障音乐+武侠采样拼贴的方式，向听众和观众传达了「新武林」这个科幻武侠虚拟世界的世界观：天下一分为四，由东商，南角，西徴和北羽这几股音乐势力常年以曲为武，以歌为战，此起彼伏，分庭抗礼。

香料成员FAT CHANCE也化身虚拟形象“方寸”，在新武林中用音乐和舞蹈倾情演绎！

“Glitch In All Directions” is an EP of the same name created by SPIICE for the premiere of the original virtual performance series IP “NEO-WULIN”, which uses glitch music and martial arts elements to convey to listeners and viewers the world setting of the fantasy "NEO-WULIN": the world is divided into four. They are East Re, South Mi, West So and North La. The forces rise and fall, using music as their arms of power and defence to stand up to each other. 

FAT CHANCE, a member of the SPIICE, also takes on the virtual performer of “方寸” and performs in the world of NEO-WULIN with music and dance!

故障四方

何畅

你说你啊，痴迷做梦，却害怕抚摸

做梦，抚摸，重复，疼痛

这是每个人对抗每个人，
也是每个人连接每个人的时代；
光怪陆离的社会群像，
像极了原始丛林；
这究竟是进步的预兆，
或只是一个闭环。

时隔一年，香料继续保持旺盛的创作力，将于8月份推出第二张全长专辑。延续上一张《无限电阻》讨论的虚拟网络发展对人性影响的主题，陈陈陈以托马斯·霍布斯的“丛林法则”发散出去，用充满想象力的音符和诗性的文字，来探讨未来科技高度发达的环境下神性与人性的关系，向人们展示了这个五彩斑斓世界的诸多剖面。

作为一个双主唱、双制作人的乐队，两人有着完全不同的编曲喜好，伊莱偏好暗黑且简单有力的风格，陈陈陈则钟爱明快复杂丰富的处理。艺术性，便成为了二人创作的调和剂。先用一个充满思辨的概念打底，电子/摇滚/实验/氛围等多种音乐风格加入进来，打散与重组，创作过程宛如一场惊心动魄的实验。在演唱上他们也做了更多和声的编排，陈陈陈的浑厚低音与伊莱清脆有爆发力的中高频声线交汇成香料具有辨识性的双重听感。

放入83版的《射雕英雄传》录像带，灰尘雪花，吱吱嘎嘎，播放过程卡带得厉害。

Condor Shooting

它沿着一座大厦的侧面朝天空艰难攀爬，关节不断迸射出蓝色的血液。

沉寂了3年，香料如重获新生一般再次开始自己的创作。这张命名为《无限电阻》的专辑，是乐队成军以来的第一张正式专辑。后网络信息时代，不乏盲目去接受外界信息而肆意扩散的人，但有一类人如同绝缘体一般单孑独立，正因为他们的这种自持让世界变得丰富而可爱。这群人是这个信息流时代的“无限电阻”。

乐队主脑陈陈陈在即将完成自己哲学博士学业的时候，通过音乐来闪回这些年创作思考的点滴历程。除了运用更多的音效层叠，旋律编写上亦是比之前的作品容易被记住。而新专辑给人最直观的印象就是增加了很多人声演唱的部分，其中有一半的歌曲由贝斯手Eli担任主唱，香料正式蜕变为双主唱迷幻电子团体。

整张专辑特邀三位混音师合作。具有国际视野的新生代电子制作人3ASiC、来自香港身兼嘻哈歌手与制作人的Dough-Boy、以及北京横跨独立与流行的鬼才混音师李越。正是因为这样大的差别，三人为香料整张8首歌曲带来了完全不一样的听觉体验。新作中，《电影女孩》是香料为数不多慢歌，写给逃避现实并沉迷于光影奇观的一类人，希望他们对现实生活的平凡多些担待。《休闲画报》急促的鼓点，无厘头的歌词，是现代都市生活表面浮华实则空虚的真实写照。《同步率》讲述了一个发歌給心仪的人听，自己也会掐着时间点开这首歌同步收听的浪漫又日常故事。而《白细胞》、《深海奇珍》、《To Do List》这样延续香料一贯电子舞曲风格的歌曲，绵长有力的低音嗡鸣下，结合具有想象空间的鼓点，丰富的电子声效，同时不忘加上标签性的怪异桥段，让人一瞬间进入香料的世界。

After three years of silence, Spice returns with a new original album that rings with the fresh, unfamiliar sounds of a new direction.  Möbius Omega is Spice’s first official album following a series of EPs and single releases.
 
“During the era of social media, many people blindly accept outside information and word of mouth, but there is a class of people that motivate themselves and form their own ideas that help the world to become stronger and richer. These people are the ‘Möbius Omega’... the infinite resistance of this age”.          
 
As he was completing his PhD studies, Chen Chen Chen was also contemplating past work and honing his creative process.  It was this self-reflection along with the challenges and lessons of furthering his education that led to the inspiration for this new album.

For this album Spice creates a wider sonic stage, layering effects and harmonies while the melodies stand out as more catchy than in previous works.
 
The biggest feature of this album is the abundance of vocal performances.  In contrast to previous releases, there are no purely instrumental songs on this record.

The most noticeable difference existing fans of the band will find is the addition of a new voice.  Eli (bass) is featured as a lead voice for the first time, officially transforming Spice into a dual fronted psychedelic-electronic group.            
 
The mixing of this new sonic endeavor called for a special set of skills and perspectives for it to reach fruition.  New generation electronic producer 3ASiC, hip-hop singer/producer Dough-Boy from Hong Kong, and popular independent remix artist/engineer Li Yue from Beijing all lent their talents in Möbius Omega’s production. Their independent mixing of selected songs from the album makes each song a completely different aural experience. 
 
"Movie Girl" and “Synchronization” are two of Spice’s ballads.  While the former tells the story of someone who tries to escape reality by indulging in the wonders they wish for in life, “Synchronization” is a love story that touches the heart of the romantic.
 
The fast pace of "Leisure Illustrated" along with nonsensical lyrics, and bustling sonic backdrop serve as a surface portrayal of the realities of modern urban life. 

"White Blood Cell," "The Deep," and "To Do List," are a fresh take on Spice’s irresistibly dance inducing electronic tracks.  They each feature powerful bass lines, solid drum grooves, lush electronic soundscapes, and that signature dash of strange that open the portal to the world of Spice, inviting listeners to dive through ears first.
