Mythos

著名的加拿大二人組合 Mythos 神話 融合了從歐洲、巴西到中東地區(qū)的異族元素，制作出了這張《Eternity 不朽》。專輯中集合了鋼琴、西班牙吉他、小號、薩克司以及多位出色演唱家的參與，《Eternity 不朽》會讓你體會到一次穿越時空之旅。強悍、溫和的電子節(jié)拍貫穿整張專輯，隨著 Jennifer Scott 的詠嘆調音逐漸升高，電子合成樂器、水晶吉他及鋼琴以輕緩卻持續(xù)的節(jié)奏融合進曲調中，也就是我們聽到的讓人覺得不可思議的這13首樂曲。
《Unity》再一次以合成器樂演奏為閃光點，對作品做了一番精雕細刻，襯托出一種無詞的人聲樂曲。而《Del Mar》舞曲則與電音音樂的感覺類似（這種感覺也不無趣味性）如同一股噴泉，Schmidt的吉他獨奏曲《Leyenda》開始便以引人入勝的美妙音符打動人心，但在此過程中還不時的穿插技巧性濃厚的亂彈演奏。歌曲《Dreams of Jade》也很不錯，其后的頗具神秘風格的樂器演奏無詞曲《Paradise》也很受聽。
Mythos 神話 當然是竭盡全力的來做這張專輯，他們用藝術味濃重的風格打造出這張頗具幻想色彩的專輯。總時長一小時左右的13首曲子中有一些確實符合幻想流行歌曲風格。順便說一下，Gil Bruvel 制作的這張專輯還真挺符合這種流行趨勢。
There are several bands called Mythos.
1) The new-age band Mythos plays semi-acoustic instrumental music that combines various Western styles; female vocals is used as just another instrument. Most of their tracks are contemplative, often slightly sad, with finely detailed sound. The band was founded by two Canadians, Bob D'Eith (keyboards) and Paul Schmidt (guitar); both received classical training on their respective instruments.
Mythos (musical project)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mythos is a musical project started by Bob D'Eith and Paul Schmidt in 1996. Bob (piano) and Paul (guitar) collectively wrote, produced, and performed on the albums with the help of various session performers. The centerpiece of the Mythos sound rests on the acoustic guitar and piano, which are accented by haunting and powerful vocals. Tastes of different cultures are combined to achieve an ancient yet timeless ring.
2) Mythos were an underground German band from Berlin. Their first albums "Mythos" (1972) and "Dreamlab" (1975) were firmly in the krautrock vein: dreamy psychedelic/space rock with acoustic instruments adding a bit of oriental flavor to the mix. Then they moved to a more mainstream sound.

Origin Berlin, Germany
Years active 1969 - 2007
Genres Rock/Krautrock
Mythos were a German band formed in Berlin by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Stephan Kaske, bassist Harold Weiße and drummer Thomas Hildebrand in 1969. All high school dropouts, the self taught musicians released their eponymous debut in 1971. Influenced by Pink Floyd, Ash Ra Tempel and Hawkwind the album draws on science fiction and ecological themes particularly noticable on the closing track "Encyclopdia Terrae". The release saw the band support Family, Colosseum and Humble Pie on tour, however after three year the band split. Kaske then recruited Axel Brauer on drums and Michael Krantz on bass. The band wrote and played live for two years but failed to record and split up. On his own Kaske signed, as Mythos, to Cosmic Chorus, and recorded various TV and film soundtracks before recording DreamLab in 1975.
In 1976 Kaske expanded the lineup to include Sven Dohrow on guitars, Eberhard Seidler on bass and Ronnie Schreinzer on drums. The band adopted a heavier sound and released two albums, Quasar and Grand Prix. Kaske left the band in 1980 in order to concentrate on setting up his own recording studio in Berlin and persue solo projects. Dohrow and Schreinzer formed The Twins, changing to a synth pop style and scoring a number of minor hits.

3) There was also a Finnish band called Mythos who played Death Metal.
The band existed from 1993 till the end of 2000. As the both primus motors of Mythos (Valppu and Hautaniemi) drifted apart, the band stopped recording, gigging and split up.

Korkala------
Canadian duo Mythos synthesize dance beats, various world musics, and new age sensibilities in a manner akin to an Enigma or Deep Forest. Bob D'Eith (keyboards) and Paul Schmidt (guitar) grew up in Vancouver, both receiving classical training on their respective instruments; D'Eith had previously played in the short-lived alternative-rock band Rhymes With Orange. Dissatisfied with the constraints of rock & roll, D'Eith joined up with Schmidt to record more film-oriented music; the result was their Juno-nominated, Canada-only 1997 debut, Introspection. Mythos then signed with Higher Octave and released their self-titled international debut in 1998. Reality of a Dreamer followed two years later, concentrating mostly on Western musical forms and featuring vocalists Christine Duncan and Jennifer Scott.
