I realised the other day that it is an absolute travesty that I haven't uploaded more albums by one of my favourite artists. So here I am, bringing you a Nic Tse album I really, really love. This is a compilation of some of Nic's Mandarin music (pre-2002, nothing very recent). Despite being a compilation, I love this one, it includes some of my absolute favourite Nic songs ever. I'd never even heard of this album either, until a friend bought it for me in Hong Kong, and am I ever glad that she did 8D
This compilation features some absolutely incredible songs, I had such a hard time picking the individual ones for sampling, I really did, I wanted to give a broad example for those not sold on this yet but....I think I just ended up picking my favourites 8D; Anyway! This has a pretty good selection, ballads (some beautiful ones, and I made sure to include 舊傷口 (Jou Shang Kou) as a sample, absolutely gorgeous track, this one. There's also some more 'dramatic' type slower tempo songs on here, what I usually tend to think of as 'rock ballads', like 281公里 (281km) which everyone should get because this may very well be my second favourite Nic song in the universe. Actually, I may tell a lie because 不耐煩 might also be my second favourite Nic song ever, and this one is a faster tempo song and really really awesome and just, awesome. You should all also make sure you get this one too, if nothing else!
Whatever song type, there's almost always the definite underlying feeling of rock music, because that is Nic and what he does best. So even if you think 'oh ew I don't really like Cantopop/Mandopop', Nic's music, the more recent albums, are not like that. He is cool, and rocky, and awesome. And this compilation has some excellent songs. *-* And, I'm sorry I have no romanisations for the track list, there seem to be none floating around.
Anyway, get it, love it and be converted to the awesome that is Nic!
