Zane Lowe lets the music do the talking
|
成人快手 Radio 1's Zane Lowe is set to let the music speak for itself in Zane Lowe's Masterpieces, a new four-part series to air on Radio 1 this November.
听
In a first for Radio 1, Zane will play four albums, in their entirety and without interruption, live on air over four nights.
听
Nevermind by Nirvana, Whatever I Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys, Is This It? by The Strokes, and Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin will get the non-stop treatment in this celebration of the album as an art form from 5 to 8 November 2007 at 7-9pm on Radio 1.
听
Through the week, Zane explores his four "masterpiece" albums, their story and the influence they have had on other artists.
听
The programmes feature interviews with band members, archive documentary material, and other artists talking about how the albums have changed their lives.
听
Each night culminates in the chosen album being played in full, track by track, with no interruptions: the way they were meant to be heard.
听
Zane Lowe says: "There's no denying that things move fast, time is precious and attention spans are short these days. That said, a classic album will make you stop and listen. It will jog your memory and spark your imagination.
听
"Whether you've never heard these four albums before or you've heard them a thousand times, we want you to stop and celebrate this music as a journey from beginning to end with no interruptions. With each of these masterpiece albums, we are giving you a perfect excuse to stop."
听
The four albums chosen are:
听
- Monday 5 November: Nevermind by Nirvana
- Tuesday 6 November: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys
- Wednesday 7 November: Is This It? by The Strokes
- Thursday 8 November: Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
