专辑简介：
The title might be French for "fool the world," but with Trompe le Monde, the Pixies weren't fooling anyone: this was essentially Black Francis' solo debut. It focuses on Francis' sci-fi fascination and lacks any Kim Deal songs; even her backing vocals are far and few between. Yet the band sounds revitalized on Trompe le Monde, as if it were planned as their last hurrah. The raucous "Distance Equals Rate Times Time" and the explosive cover of the Jesus and Mary Chain's "Head On" are fairly straightforward, but the lyrics remain quirky on "Planet of Sound," a song about a Martian who lands on Earth, and "Palace of the Brine," a tribute to sea monkeys and Utah's Salt Lake. He even disses hipsters and pretentious students -- basically, the Pixies' fan base -- with nasty little digs like "Subbacultcha"'s "I was wearing eyeliner/She was wearing eyeliner" and "U-Mass"' "It's eduuucaaationaal!" Musically, "Trompe le Monde"'s psychedelic sheen and "Alec Eiffel"'s atmospheric keyboards prove that the Pixies' sound wasn't defined by Steve Albini-style rawness. There's also more emotional depth: "The Sad Punk" features the strangely poignant bridge "And evolving from the sea/Would not be too much time for me/To walk beside you in the sun," and "Letter to Memphis" is a heartfelt, if cryptic, love song. Though Trompe le Monde doesn't sound quite like the Pixies' other work, Come on Pilgrim's spooky beginnings, Surfer Rosa's abrasive assault, Doolittle's deceptively accessible punk-pop, and Bossanova's spacy sonics helped make Trompe le Monde a rousing swan song and a precursor to alternative rock's imminent success. Whether that means their music remained pure or they missed their chance to cash in is debatable; either way, the Pixies are one of America's greatest, most influential bands.
Pixies是80年代末期美国最有影响力的另类摇滚乐队之一，关于他们对后来Grunge音乐的影响，人们最常听到的评论就是：It's hard to imagine Nirvana without the Pixies。不过作为4AD旗下的另一个传奇乐队，其音乐影响还包括8、90年代的Britpop和Indie rock。虽然Pixies的音乐生涯并不长（6年），但他们无疑是最具革新精神的乐队之一——粗粝咆哮的吉他、时断时续的节奏与和谐的男、女合声交织在一起，其中融合了朋克、Indie Rock、流行乐和Surf Rock，加上隐晦怪异、片断式的歌词，都是他们标志性的风格。但在当时他们却被主流媒体拒之门外，最终由于乐队领袖Black Francis与贝斯手和歌手Kim Deal的矛盾导致乐队在92年解体。之后Black Francis开始了他的Solo事业，而Kim Deal与Throwing Muses的Tanya Donelly等组成了后来的Breeders。
