5 out of 5 stars A wonderful talent.......2004-10-12

I first heard Wong Faye in a taxi in rural China a few years back. I asked the driver to write down her name, and I spent quite some time later finding a cd of hers to bring home. This was the disc, and I fell in love with her style and voice. Chungking Express came a little later, but if you dig Wong Faye, get that too. I'd give them both two thumbs up, if the term meant anything anymore (thanks ebert)!

5 out of 5 stars Faye Wong is an angel..........2001-05-30

This double CD set contains a live recording of Faye Wong performing in Budokan, like a "Best Of", showcasing her music career. I had no previous knowldedge of Faye Wong other than her performance in Wong Kar-Wai`s 1994 movie "Chungking Express", but I was really surprised by this.

Even though I can`t speak any Cantonese or Mandarin, there is some beautiful music on this CD, and Faye has a soothing, soft voice. Some of my favourite tracks are "Sky", "Promised", and "No Regrets". These songs are superb, despite having the language barrier, as they are sung in Chinese.

Luckily however, she also sings in English on a few tracks - including a cover version of the classic Queen song "Bohemian Rhapsody" and a bonus track - "Eyes On Me" which games fans may recognize as a song from the RPG "Final Fantasy VIII".

I was really impressed with this CD - even though I can`t understand what Faye is singing about, it contains some great music and she has a lovely voice.

Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Forever Faye Wong!.......2000-09-09

Faye Wong Hong Kong Scenic Tour 1998-99 2-CD collection is a live recording that features 32 of Faye's best songs. It is a memoir of her career as an artist since 1989 up to present. The change of music label in 1997 from Cinepoly Hong Kong (subsidiary of Universal) to EMI allows her to bloom and break through the usual Hong Kong mainstream music style. Faye Wong is now internationally known as the Queen of Asian Pop.

Faye Wong, whose esoteric and catchy performance in Wong Ka Wai's "Chungking Express" has captured praises and attention. The 1995 release "Di-Dar" sold almost 1 million in Asian and had remained one of the hall-of-fame albums in Hong Kong music industry. Coupling up with the Cocteau Twins in 1996, the Mandarin release "Hot and Dry" set the debut of Chinese alternative music.

Upon the change of music label in 1997, the EMI debut "Wang Fei-Faye Wong" sold over 1 million in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong. The No. 1 hits "You're Happy (So I'm Happy)", "I Don't Want To Be This Way", and "Boring" topped all music charts in Chinese communities worldwide. Faye also performed a rendition of Cocteau Twins' "Rilkean Heart". The 1998 release "Cheung Yau-Travel" remained on IFPI sales chart for almost 20 weeks. No. 1 hits "Red Bean" and "Love Commandments" topped all charts and stayed for almost 40 weeks. The 1999 release of "Eyes on Me", ending theme for Final Fantasy 8 introduced Faye Wong to fans even in non-Asian countries.

Faye Wong had only done 2 tours in her 12-year career. This CD collection witnesses the glory of her career. You will find her best works from both music labels and get to appreciate her soft but high-pitched voice in this live recording.

I do want to point out that this album is imported from Japan by EMI (Japan) Ltd. The songs are all in either Cantonese or Mandarin. The Amazon track listing is incorrect that these songs are Japanese titles.

Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Great Live CD.......2000-06-18

I think this is one of the best Faye's live CD and all the songs are playing great and especially Faye's voice is beautiful. The surprise is singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. The other songs are including she was in Cinepoly & EMI records. Great 2CD worldwhile to buy.
