「布勒合唱團Blur」和同樣來自英國的「神韻合唱團」及「綠洲合唱團」並列為英倫搖滾三大天團，發跡於80年代初期的他們，絕對是90年代之後最具代表性的英國樂團。Blur由當時還是學生的Damon Albarn（主唱兼吉他手）以及藝術科系的Graham Coxon（吉他手）所撞擊出的音樂火花展開傳奇扉頁，自此，身為樂團靈魂人物的Damon Albarn以及Graham Coxon，藉由無法遏抑的音樂才氣，吸引Dave Rowntree（鼓手）、Alex James（貝斯手）的陸續加入。Blur四人，在1991發行第二首單曲〈There’s No Other Way〉之後，在英國搖滾樂壇宛如以野火燎原之姿，強勢入侵各大排行榜，緊接在同年發行的首張專輯《Leisure》，更讓指標性音樂雜誌Q將他們譽為「最受期待的明日之星」！1993年發行第二張專輯《Modern Life Is Rubbish》，也雙雙獲得Q及NME選為「年度最佳50張專輯」之一。而真正奠定Blur無可動搖英倫搖滾霸主地位的，便是於1993推出的《Parklife》，以及1994年的《The Great Escape》，這兩張專輯除了打開Blur在英國金榜五連霸的冠軍之路，更在英國分別拿下四白金及三白金的好成績，也締造出〈Girls & Boys〉、〈Parklife〉…等多首暢銷單曲。樂團之後在1997推出的野心勃勃的《Blur》、1999內斂穩重的《13》、及2003多元嚐試的《Think Tank》，全都摘下英國金榜冠軍，皆獲得全球樂評一致的高度讚賞。承襲英國搖滾樂前輩樂團My Bloody Valentine、Stone Roses、Sex Pistol、The Beatles的Blur，開創出前所未有的英倫搖滾新浪潮，成為引領英國青少年文化脈動的重要指標！

就在樂團重組準備要發行新專輯，同時為了要紀念距離首張專輯發行屆滿21週年之際，Blur與唱片公司特地推出「Blur 21」計畫，將歷年作品重新整理推出，以破天荒【限量套裝18CD+3DVD+七吋彩膠】的形式，推出限量套裝《Blur 21: The Box》。在這套《Blur 21: The Box》當中的18CD包括重新數位錄製《Leisure》到《Think Tank》七張錄音室大碟，更加上七張網羅B-side、現場作品、混音單曲、Demo、珍稀音軌…等珍貴作品的專輯，另外特地另外整理出4張集結Blur稀有曲目的選集，這18張CD當中從未發行過的內容，總計時間長達330分鐘。3DVD完整收錄讓樂迷難忘的現場演唱經典實況，另外還特別企劃加收未發行過的七吋紀念彩膠、重新編輯製作的樂團經典紀實手冊，而每組限量套裝當中，更附贈專屬高音質數位專輯的下載密碼，提供了所有影音格式的收藏。

Blur在英倫搖滾編年史之中從未缺席，而他們的存在，就是美好時代依舊昂首的最好證明。（文／結糯米。）
