【專輯簡介】:


KOOP成立於1995年,瑞典二人組koop為Magnus與Oscar兩人。 Magnus是瑞典稀少伶仃的Techno╱Jazz DJ,Oscar則深受古典、爵士等音樂的熏陶,並長期擔任爵士樂團的kb手。這是支同時帶Acid Jazz,Downtemple及Trip-Hop基因的樂隊。以一支有12年資歷的樂隊來計算,這支瑞典樂隊-Koop,算是產量少的一群。

KOOP開始引人目光是1995年於英國廠牌CLEAN UP旗下發行單曲〈SONS OF KOOP〉的時候,當時地下音樂界還引起不小的話題。 1997年,他們於瑞典的獨立廠牌SUPERSTUDIO推出首張專輯《SONS OF KOOP》,在家鄉獲得不錯的評價。

對於跟樂迷的互動並不積極,創作速度也異常緩慢(目前僅出三張專輯),這些與KOOP給人的音樂印象恰恰吻合。若強要將KOOP的音樂清楚地分門別類,那麼以抽象式節拍(Abstract beat)來定位或許是頗為適當的。帶有些許實驗意味,但又不是那麼孤芳自賞,讓人難以消化。

兩位團員的古典、爵士背景,充分展現在首張作品裡。第二首曲目〈Glömd〉,一開場便取樣了德布西的〈Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Faun〉並配以略顯散亂的碎拍,客座女聲Cecilia Stanlin的夢幻詮釋,恰如其分。 〈Psalm〉彷如Portishead的陰氣沉沉,Cecilia的vocal頗似Bjork。然而〈Once Britten〉中的她,歌聲又令人聯想到同樣出身瑞典的The Cardigans女主唱Nina,只不過是闇黑版。 〈Bjarne Riis〉裡,那像心電圖又像潛水艇探測聲響加上背後一聲聲男子的嘆氣,拖人進入一種更為深沉恐怖的氛圍之中,神秘而難測。在Ambient Jazz風格的〈Salvation〉裡,另一客座男聲,饒舌歌手Stephen Simmonds則以溫柔的唱腔呈現出全然不同以往Rap形象的他。這是一張極度幽暗氣氛的作品,雖然好事者將它拿來與Portishead、MASSIVE ATTACK等團相比擬,但其實KOOP玩出了與Bristol截然不同,只屬於斯堪地那維亞的 冷冽。 他們於1998年正式推向全歐洲發行第二張專輯《sons of koop》。加納比節奏,甜美的男聲演唱,迷幻絢麗的Acid Jazz,就好比一場令人亢奮的仲夏派對,叫人印象深刻。 2006年9月,推出第三張專輯《koop island》。

Koop有著甚優越的爵士樂底蘊,令其Jazz Downtempo音樂聽來是那麼妙不可言。 Koop Island是他們五年來的全新專輯,柔揚的爵士樂韻、熱情的加納比節奏,仍是那麼的美好雅緻,更何況又有Earl Zinger(即前Galliano主將Rob Gallagher)獻聲。與《Waltz for Koop》比較起來,新專輯《Koop Island》來得爵士化,除了Magnus Zingmark及Oscar Simonsson創作之外,他們亦找來了許多不同的音樂人合作,《Come To Me》、《I See A Different You》及《Whenever There Is You》就有Yukimi Nagano這位由上張專輯已參與過演唱部分的女主音獻聲。另外,Koop更找來了前Galliano成員Rob Gallagher(Earl Zinger),參與創作及演唱,其它歌手還包括 Ane Brun、Hilde Louise Asbjørnsen和 Mikael Sundin,令專輯的陣容更加壯盛。

Coup de Grãce(Best of Koop 1997-2007)是電子音樂二人組 Koop 的“最佳”合輯。這張專輯收錄了樂隊前三張專輯中的精選歌曲。 它還包括未發行的歌曲“Strange Love”。

Koop, the duo of Oscar Simonsson and Magnus Zingmark, seem to grasp what many other trip-hop production units never did — that, no matter which instruments are used in your productions, digital or acoustic or electric, a sense of place is what should never be lost. Their debut album Waltz for Koop, with its languruous textures and tugging sense of melancholy, one-upped a parade of other deservedly recognized acts who had come in the wake of Air (groups like Royksopp, Zero 7, and Groove Armada ). Koop Islands, the duo's first proper record in six years, is another quality collection of songs, with guest vocalists and the returning Yukimi Nagano usually providing exactly the right touch for each song (credit Koop for those personnel decisions). Ane Brun contributes the best, a swinging French chanson named "Koop Island Blues" with pining accordion and vibraphone (plus a devastating clarinet solo from Koop's Lindgren himself). Earl Zinger stops by to lighten the mood on two tracks, including a humorous "letter home" on the track "Beyond the Son." Part of what helps the pair stand apart is their instrumental prowess and obvious arranging talents; Koop Islands is one of the few records of the '90s and 2000s that has exactly the right atmosphere to suit trip-hop fans and all the ingredients for an excellent contemporary jazz record.

Coup de Grãce (Best of Koop 1997–2007) is a 'best of' compilation album by electronic music duo Koop. The album comprises a selection of songs taken from the band's previous three albums. It also includes the unreleased song "Strange Love".
