I just listened to both songs, very nice. Yu Fei Men is always a special treat to hear!

Among many artists I heard a lot last year, arumimihifumi (aka Ko Yuk Fei) deserves a spotlight if only because she's so obscure over here in the US.
She does so many styles well, if you only heard a song or two, you wouldn't fully appreciate what's going on in her musical world, ha. =)
Here's a few to try, anyway:
Arumimihifumi-Hak Yi Yan
Arumimihifumi-Yuan qi fan tuan
arumimihifumi-Ji hao

Wow, what a sound! When you mentioned you ordered her cds before I assumed from her name that she was Japanese haha... so I didn't look her up. She does have an eclectic sound - even in the space of one song! Ji hao reminded me of 33岛 whose cd I just found after a year of looking. Their stuff sounds like a musical that takes place in a dream teetering between sweet and menacing. Thanks so much for the recommendation!

Sorry to take so long to reply, but I ran out of bandwidth towards the end of the month before i could upload this present for you:
arumimihifumi-Under The Tokyo Tower (gulugulu).zip
I think it's a beautiful collection of her songs, I hope you like it!

double qiao(大乔小乔) and the hz & wang juan(虎子&王娟) collab album were some of my fav finds of the year. ruins(废墟) was a pretty good one too, the album was from 2004 tho XD

Excellent! I've been meaning to listen to 虎子&王娟's cd. I have a feeling I'll really like it. Never heard of Ruins so I'll have to check them out for sure.
I just got a new computer yesterday so as soon as I get my music transfered I'll upload & post your recommendations. Thanks!!
