盲人天才Stevie Wonder于1972年发表的一张代表作,被认为是他音乐生涯的里程碑,从这张专辑开始的连续5张专辑宣告了他的“经典时期”的到来。在这张专辑中,Stevie Wonder开始使用合成器配乐,并且尝试了多种不同风格的歌曲,比如代表作Love Having You Around就被认为含有funk的元素,显示了他的音乐野心。这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第284位。by John BushWith a new contract from Motown in his hand, Stevie Wonder released Music of My Mind, his first truly unified record and, with the exception of a single part on two songs, the work of a one-man-band. Everything he had learned about musicianship, engineering, and production during his long apprenticeship in the Snakepit at Motown Studios came together here (from the liner notes: The sounds themselves come from inside his mind. The man is his own instrument. The instrument is an orchestra.) Music of My Mind was also the first to bear the fruits of his increased focus on Moog and Arp synthesizers, though the songs never sound synthetic, due in great part to Stevie's reliance on a parade of real instruments -- organic drumwork, harmonica, organs and pianos -- as well as his mastery of traditional song structure and his immense musical personality. The intro of the vibrant, tender I Love Every Little Thing About You is a perfect example, humanized with a series of lightly breathed syllables for background rhythm. And when the synthesizers do appear, it's always in the perfect context: the standout Superwoman really benefits from its high-frequency harmonics, and Seems So Long wouldn't sound quite as affectionate without the warm electronics gurgling in the background. This still wasn't a perfect record, though; Sweet Little Girl was an awkward song, with Stevie assuming another of his embarrassing musical personalities to fawn over a girl.
