Collide
简介Collide 是来自Los Angeles的男女二人组合，由男乐手Statik和女主音kaRIN组成。 Statik从小就是个乐器通，但他却对电子产生了兴趣，在大学毕业后有了自己的音乐实验室；而kaRIN则是天生的艺术家，她不但是一个歌手也是一个诗人，值得一提的是kaRIN自己不承认自己是歌手，她认为自己的身份是一个珠宝设计师，歌手只是她的兴趣。就是这两个音乐致趣相通的人碰到了一起，1995年，Collide正式成立，随后他们迅速就发行了Demo——The Crimson Trial，紧接着，乐队创作源泉迸发，随后的2年时间内两人共发行了3张唱片，在随后的5年真空期后，Statik招来了另四个人重新开工，在2001年发行了Chasing the Ghost 。Collide的风格比较杂，是由Statik电子冲突、工业小样以及哥特氛围溶合在一起，配上kaRIN天生的日尔曼民族的华丽嗓音交汇而成，加上kaRIN宗教意味的歌词(从歌曲名就能看出)，的确是不错的黑色唱片。

英文小档案：This male/female duo from Los Angeles consisting ofStatikandkaRINchose the name Collide to represent the collision of techno, industrial samples, breakbeats, the ambient and noise, and Gothic vox that influenced them. Together they blended the macho angst with a softer, ethereal aggression.
WhileStatikhad played trumpet for a few years during school, most of his musical training came from within by spending endless months experimenting with samplers, computers, and music, until he accomplished his own style of electronic wizardry. He did attend a music/engineering school in Los Angeles that helped him land his first studio job.Statik's first solo project was calledStatik: Machines.kaRINsang spontaneously and consistently since a child, and the lyrics she creates for Collide express unconscious, flowing emotions. Her other artistic passions include jewelry designing, painting, and photography, with music being her favorite.
OnceStatikandkaRINmet, they knew they were on the same musical path. They self-released their first cassette demo,The Crimson Trial, in 1995, and followed this with their first full-length album,Beneath the Skin, a German import, in 1996. The album also included bass and guitar on some tracks. Re-Constriction releasedDistortin 1997. The re-mix album included favorites like "Pandora's Box" and "Violet's Dance." Compilations and singles became a strong means of expression and the duo sang or worked on dozens of them, remaining a studio band. After five years without a new album, the Next Level label releasedChasing the Ghostin June 2001 with a few additions to the lineup:Tim Pierce(guitar),Fritz Heede(sitar),Kevin Kipnis(guitar), andMonica Richards(vocals), withStatikstill in charge doing the noise, producing, engineering, and mixing.
