“Funplex”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Funplex is the seventh studio album (eighth overall) by The B-52s, recorded during 2006 and 2007. The album was released on March 25, 2008, by Astralwerks Records^[13] It was the first album of new material that the group had released since Good Stuff in 1992, although the band did record two new songs for their 1998 compilation album Songs for a Future Generation.

The album came as a result of the band's renewed touring, and a feeling that they needed something new to perform. Guitarist Keith Strickland was inspired to create an updated sound for the band when listening to the New Order album Get Ready and hired producer Steve Osborne{{citation needed|date=June 2014}}. Osborne's production incorporates more modern elements of electronica.

Single releases

The first single from the album was released digitally on January 29, 2008, and is the title track, "Funplex". A music video was filmed in West Hollywood on March 1, 2008 and featured a cameo appearance by RuPaul, who had previously appeared in the video for "Love Shack".^[14]

Alternate versions

The CD, packed in the Digipak format, was released in three front cover color variants in the lettering for the album title and the band's shadows: the original (shown above) in gray, multi-colored, and hot pink. In the colored versions, the coloring also extends to the band's instruments. The band members themselves, along with the band's logotype, retain their original rendering throughout all versions.^[16]

Exclusive, limited-edition autographed copies were offered by Newbury Comics and FYE, as well during the Funplex 2008 tour, and a special limited-edition double-disc set of Funplex was available only at Target stores in the US. The bonus disc features five live tracks recorded at the band's November 16, 2007 concert at the Roxy in Los Angeles.^[17] Two additional live tracks from that same concert were available exclusively on iTunes.

Track listing

All songs written and arranged by the B-52s; music by Keith Strickland; and lyrics and vocal melodies by Kate Pierson, Fred Schneider, and Cindy Wilson.^[18]
