I have been a huge fan of the cocteau twins since the beginning. I thought i owned just about everything they had out. When they broke up i started following robin guthries career, his solo work is like an instrumental cocteau twins. I had recently found out they had collaberated with faye wong, (she is huge in china!) She is probably the only singer that can mimic elizabeth frasers lovely voice. THis import cd is very pricey, but if you are a huge cocteau fan, its a must. THe cocteau twins only produce two tracks on this album. One track is an original and the other is a remake of a cocteau b-side. She sings in manderin, which few will understand what she is singing. But for true cocteau fans, that doesnt matter because elizabeth fraser sings in her own language, that few people understand. The rest of the album has a big cocteau feel and is pretty good to. Go ahead and give her a try.

A great Etherial Pop album by the Chinese actress (Chungking Express / 2046) & singer of Final Fantasy VIII theme "Eyes On Me". After covering the Cocteau Twins on earlier CDs Faye did two of their songs for this Cinepoly release and several of her songs have a '90s Dream Pop sound like The Cranberries. Less traditional than her past works. [...]
