''The Black Swan'' is the fifth and final studio album by The Triffids, released in April 1989 and peaking at No. 59 on the Australian Album Charts.〔 NOTE: Used for Australian Singles and Albums charting from 1970 until ARIA created their own charts in mid-1988.〕 The album was originally conceived as a double album. In the recording sessions the Triffids were joined by producer Stephen Street (the Smiths' - ''Strangeways, Here We Come'' and Morrissey's ''Viva Hate''). ''The Black Swan'' used a greater variety of musical instruments than their previous albums with bouzouki, güiro and accordion and a more obvious use of synths and programming. The title of the album was originally going to be ''Disappointment Resort Complex'' 〔(Rock Australia Magazine - Jon Casimir (17 May 1989) )〕 but was renamed to ''The Black Swan'', which according to a 1989 interview by Stephen Phillips (''NME'') with David McComb is based on the 1954 novel of the same name by Thomas Mann.〔(''New Musical Express'' (22 April 1989) )〕 The chosen single from the album, "Goodbye Little Boy", featured Jill Birt on vocals and ‘glammed up’ for the record sleeve. "Too Hot To Move" was one of three songs written by David McComb which were used in the ABC TV series ''Sweet and Sour'' (1984) it had lead vocals by Deborah Conway (of Do-Ré-Mi). McComb bought the rights back to "Too Hot To Move" so that The Triffids could perform it again. The cover photograph was taken in the stables at the rear of The Cliffe, the historic Peppermint Grove home in which David and Robert McComb grew up. A deluxe version of the album, with a 17-track bonus disc of demos, was released in Australia on 7 June 2008 through Liberation Music.〔(Liberation Music website announcement )〕 == Reception == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Black Swan (The Triffids album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
