來自倫敦南部的全新?lián)u滾樂隊"擴音器"(Klaxons)憑借其首張專輯“未來神話”（Myths of the Near Future）奪取了年度最佳唱片大獎以及20,000英鎊（約合人民幣30萬）的獎金。樂隊主唱Jamie Reynolds表示，他們獲獎是眾望所歸，比起對手紅酒坊的老調重彈般的唱片，他們的唱片代表了最最前衛(wèi)的思想與聲音。
Klaxons
Rock band the Klaxons have won the Nationwide Mercury Prize for the best album of the past year, beating Amy Winehouse and the Arctic Monkeys.
The "new rave" group from south London scooped the ￡20,000 prize for their debut Myths of the Near Future. Singer Jamie Reynolds said they deserved to beat Winehouse because she made a "retro record and we've made the most forward-thinking record". Winehouse performed at the ceremony, her first appearance for several weeks. She gave a breathtaking rendition of Love Is A Losing Game from her nominated album Back To Black - but it was not enough to win her the award.
Klaxons, who have only been together for two years, looked elated as they hugged and ran on to the stage to collect their award from Jools Holland. The Mercury Prize judges said the group took them on an "ecstatic musical adventure". Their album, which features the singles Golden Skans and It's Not Over Yet, reached number two when it was released earlier this year.
