之前在一张帖子上看到KEEN介绍的一本记录MJ歌曲创作故事的书，刚好在AMAZON看到有增补版，就买下了。不过本人是英语杯具，看这本书也是边看边查字典，所以没办法翻译出来，唯有原文打出来了，希望论坛上有高手可以帮我翻译出来了。
P.S.谢谢七七和wyw1018 等几位TX再教学贴哪里教我怎么在AMAZON买东西，真的真的非常感谢啊。

A PLACE WITH NO NAME
Song based on America's 1971 hit, A Horse With No Name, recorded by Michael in 1998, but failed to appear on his INVINCIBLE album three years later.
Original song written by Dewey Bunnell, new lyrics by Michael & Dr Freeze, who also produced Michael's version, with CJ de Villar, who used to work with Quincy Jones and P. Diddy.
'The band was honoured that Michael chose to do their song,' said Jim Morey, America's current manager and Michael's manager in the late 1980s and early 1990s,'and they hope it becomes available for all Michael's fans to hear.'
'It was a song I worked on not only as a recording engineer, but as a bass player as well.' said CJ de Villar. 'It was what I call a muse track for Michael and producer Dr Freeze... I'm not certain if it was Freeze or Michael who kicked off the idea first, but I know Michael loved the America song ,though he did work out lots of other music explorations for the fun of it, or at least with no specific outcome in mind, other than finding a surprise in the process.'
Short, 25 second snippet leaked on the internet site TMZ. com in July 2009, just three weeks after Michael's passing - no official release.
'That sound clip is definitely a session rough mix,' said de Villar, 'since it doesn't have a mix and master polished sound on it. For those unfamiliar with what a session rough mix is, it's from the session multi-track tape that was up on the recording console that day, for whatever work was being done to it, which was quickly or roughly mixed, and recorded to a recordable CD or DAT tape as Michael liked it... what was most funwas playing bass on the track, and how it showed me Michael's relentless musical energy so vividly... Michael certainly inspired me, and brought out the best energy I had by him getting into it as only Michael can. Ande then I realised - he's all about the music.'
CD de Villar stated he believed, at the time of his passing, Michael could have close to 1,000 pieces of material in some form, with at least a few hundred in post production stage, at least. |
