Hi guys,

Might need to apologize to LYN for opening up this thread. But i need to to support the local Malaysia music scene. Just a small support for our local music talents, i mean a "real" talent.

Today, like a normal day i went to my favourite music shop at Subang Parade looking to add-on some more CDs collections. Out of the thousands, I tried this particular one. "Wow" thats the only word went through my mind. I never expect, frankly never, that Malaysia could produce such a good CD overall. Vocal, tone, guitar, emotive, songs presentation, "feeling" really heartbreaking! what more i can say.

All of these are selected Chinese memorable love songs. i tried both my pc & hi-fi, quality 80%! And i wanted to emphasize on the Guitarist, Roger Wang, his bossa nova & jazzie style is highly valued.

i been non-stop listening to this CD

To all music lovers / audiophile seekers

do try this...





Cheers!!!



Excerpted from http://2v1g.blogspot.com

2V1G is the brainchild of producer Leslie Loh and Chow Kam Leong. They wanted a simple yet heartfelt approach to classic Mandarin love songs. To start with, they needed two beautiful female voices that can complement each other, at the same time, provide enough contrast to differentiate from each other. And they needed a supremo guitarist who can weave some magic into the solo guitar and arrangement. Winnie Ho, Regine Tai and Roger Wang were selected based on those criteria. Simply put, 2V1G aspires to be an unique acoustic trio that makes music that touches people's hearts.

For the debut album, the two producers decided to select some of the most memorable love songs for the last 2 decades and give them an acoustic treatment. These are not only classics in their own rights but eternal love songs that strike a chord in most discerning music lovers' hearts.

Whereas Winnie impresses us with her excellent vocal techniques and gorgeous tone, Regine scores with her emotive, straight-from-the-heart and nasal voice - neither voice outshines each other; they only serve to complement each other in a very harmonious way. And Roger's guitar, what more can we say, is heartbreakingly beautiful. Some of his guitar solos (like the one in 心動 Tempting Hearts), with its beautiful chording, can make us weak and bring tears to our eyes.

This album has taken us close to one year to produce. There's much sweat and tears along the journey. We also had so much fun making the album. We are proud of the fact that we can make such sincere album against the tide of today's dwindling music industry.

We hope that you support us and enjoy the music too!

Indeed, 2V1G is the best ever local record, produced Chinese album. Kudos, keep up the good work, we need more well recorded, high quality music from local. Malaysia Boleh !

yes!!! thanks!!!

Frankly, the recording is not perfectly mastered like US & Japan. This CD vocal rather "thin" not that "fulfilling". But in Malaysia context, this is a good start!
