★Acid-Folk不可錯過的一張專輯。帶著Joni Mitchell式純粹民謠味道,飄逸空靈卻又充滿嬉皮、藍調之感,迷幻搖滾元素常現其中。
★飄逸的歌聲,脫俗的旋律,Linda Perhacs如同偶然降落於人間的繆思,似乎永遠是一個謎。
★她的嗓音就像救贖,輕得像風,卻留下難以磨滅的印記,在無助惶恐時撫平傷口。那是種天然的力量,無需過多修飾,便直入人心。
Linda Perhacs這個風一般的神秘女子在1970年發行了這張傳奇專輯後,就消失得無影無蹤了。這是張純正民謠加上美國西岸的迷幻搖滾風味,有著令人難以忘懷的高亢亮麗嗓音,如Joni Mitchell與Grace Slick的綜合體,時而虛幻飄渺的催眠迷幻,時而帶著熱力四射律動十足的藍調搖滾。又有時如太空搖滾般令人捉摸不定的嬉皮迷幻實驗,更有如Mitchell式的歌詠民謠清新脫俗。這張《矩形》可以說是Acid Folk經典之一,絕不可錯過的珍藏。

What's all the fuss about? If you've read any of the hundreds of articles in music mags and on the net about Linda Perhacs' sole 1970 LP Parallelograms, you'd be tempted to question its reputation. People talk about Parallelograms in much the same way that they talk about Nick Drake's Island albums, Swaddling Songs by Mellow Candle and Vashti Bunyan's sole LP for Phillips...as a life-changing musical experience, one that inspires them to create new works of art and to express their deepest emotions despite the risk. Sure, there's a lot of hyperbole out there about this record, and yet it's absolutely warranted. For just about 40 minutes, it will take you on a guided tour of a world that's far too beautiful to exist...but does.
