Thanks for the details happymoviegoer. That would make it so much easier for me to shop for his CDs since I can't read Chinese characters very well. Just a couple more questions though, the Great 5000 Secs album, do Vol 1 & 2 come together as one or are they sold separately? Out of these two "Great 5000 secs" and U87, which one has more slow Cantonese songs (sorry, cause I don't quite understand mandarin)? Thanks heaps for helping me out *hugs*.
Great 5000 Secs Volume 1 and Volume 2 are sold seperately.
If you're someone that doesn't understand the lyrics, but like to listen to good slow cantonese songs then here's what I recommend:
Here's the breakdown for U87:
Tracks 2 and 3 - slow songs, 2 of the best songs, already made it to the charts this year and have been successful
4 - slow song, one of the best, have yet to be recognized
5 - uptempo song, great, Eason has been highly praised for being one of the more difficult songs to sing that he has mastered
6 - slow song, one of the best, only now getting to be known
11 - mandarin, slow song, great song
12 - mandarin, slow song, one of the best, a must-listen song for those that don't like mandarin songs
all the other songs - all good songs with great meaning in its lyrics
Here's the breakdown for volume 1:
Track 1 -new song: good song that I wouldn't consider a slow or uptempo song
2 - new song: uptempo song that I'm not too crazy about
3 - new song: slow song that I think is the best out of the 3 new songs
4 - theme to 'triumph in the sky'
5 - great song, won tvb 2003 top 10 songs of the year
6 - Next Year Today - slow, one of the best, won tvb 2002 best song of the year
7 - Karoke King - slow, one of the best, won tvb 2000 top 10 songs of the year and web fav. song (I believe)
8 - Shall We Talk - slow, one of the best, won tvb 2001 best song of the year
Tracks 11, 17, 18 - slow songs, great songs, 3 of the best slow Eason songs that went without winning awards
My breakdown for volume 2
Tracks 1, 2, 3 - new songs
6 - For Alice - uptempo song, great, a good song to Fur Elise
7 - Katrina - slow song, great song, David Tao's rendition of 'Katrina' in Cantonese, David Tao sang the original version in English (highly recommended)... I forgot who sang 'Katrina' in Mandarin...Eason sang the Cantonese version
11 - Lonely Christmas - Slow song, good song for Christmas
What volume 1 doesn't have that volume 2 has -- Katrina and Lonely Christmas
What volume 2 doesn't have that volume 1 has -- theme to 'triumph in the sky', next year today, karoke king, shall we talk, tracks 11, 17, 18
As you can tell volume 1 consists of more great slow tempo songs by Eason.
No need to thank. I'm glad I'm able to share Eason's music. He's the only singer I will spend time to answer questions about his music.
ENJOY!!!
