Synth Pop Extravaganza! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Well, I've read the album sleeve of Eason's latest here, got my ears open, ready and willing, and after a complete listen to the 2 CDs showcased here over the weekend, I can conclude that this is one mega hit album! Certainly high energy in the main, but featured on the main album here are a fantastic range of mainly electronic dance songs, all having great infectious melodies and high caliber electronic hooks. Some numerous alternatives are showcased here, also, such as the Latin American "Mario Party" salsa opener, one riveting rock track and two excellent ballads in the form of "Crying in the Party", and the great bonus track by Eason and Andy Lau "Brother" - to make one fullfilling and top sounding album. Vocals of Eason's are great, too, and for me this is the first time I have had the pleasure of listening to Eason's music, than normally catching the movies he appears in. Talented in both, most definitely! A lot of the tracks here also hit the right cord with me, as they have strong affiliations to some of the early 80s synth pop and alternative stuff I was into then, and this CD won me over in that respect. But, nevertheless, this is great and immediately appealing album in its own right and the juxtapositions of sounds and songs are a nice fresh appeal to those (for me anyway) 'New Romantic' daze in the 80s! I loved the Depeche Mode/Vince Clarke styled electronic dance tracks with "Flash" and "Concert Live Gig", which are two great synth pop numbers. (Also heard two excellent similarly styled electronic tracks on Stephy Tang's "Stephilosophy" CD).

I'll briefly mention the tracks here, cause I just know certain people who may cast their eyes over the influences and styles this album contains, would just love to hear this. If you are a synth pop music fan - you just want to get this and if you haven't tried that yet - give Eason's album here a spin (after you've bought it of course) as its one of the best examples I've heard, so far, of Canto Synth pop you can get!

Track 1 "Mario Party" - Salsa type Latin American pop ditti (similar to Twins "Samba" a bit)
Track 2 "Tropical Island Serenade" - soft electronic soul/disco melody, light dance number
Track 3 "Flash" - this is for me where the album knocked me for six! Great electronic 80s synth pop with infectious electronic rhythm, fast and edgy (reminded me of UK 80s stalwarts Depeche Mode and Erasure). Great!
Track 4 "Concert Live Gig" - another great and 80s styled electronic piece, with hand clapping synths, industrial dance beat (plus a bit of Ultravox sound in the mix).
Track 5 "Waterloo Station" - more electronic sounds, moderate rhythm and a nice bouncy synth pop track
Track 6 "Crying in the Party" - this is where the electronics have a bit of a rest and with a change of tone here. Excellent and emotive ballad. Nice vocals and song.
Track 7 "Maniacal Revolution" - fast rock and roll guitar edged number (soft rock and fast - not heavy). Brilliant melody!
Track 8 "The Chameleon" - synth pop electronics returneth- mainly upbeat melody, with a bit of a Numan type back ground synth line. Unusual, but still very upbeat.
Track 9 "Wheel of an Era" - Great sweeping syths track, with electronic piano and dark edged synth line. Great vocals form Eason. Like this track a lot!
Track 10 "What do you Want?" - I know this may sound strange, but this one reminds me similar of closing songs to some of Akira Yamaoka's music to the "Silent Hill" games. A bit more lighter but good, too!
Track 11 " Brother" - This bonus song features lyrics by Andy Lau and is one wonderful and moderately paced ballad and great finish to a magnificent album.

There isn't one track I didn't like out of these at all, either!

Black Tee (Remix Version)

As this is more related to the electronic music and technical side of this two disk set, I have focused more on the music sound than Eason's vocals aspect - as in itself, this is a great alternative addition to this 2 disk CD set.

Utterly and totally what you would expect in the remix / dub department, this is a thoroughly and strongly top heavy electronic remix of the "Listen to Eason Chan" CD. Although ladled with lots of multi track electronica in the dance and 80s/90s pop groove, this still leaves Eason's main album intact to the core, without submerging the music into a totally different form, and complements the main album. This is just an absolute excellent set of remixes, too, with layers of bass beat synthetics, techno pulses, and heavily industrial dance music rhythms, that you feel by all of this that you could disappear into the third eye, by all the multi layered sounds here. Kudos to all the mixing desk guys involved and of their techno wizardry here (Harry Potter would have a hard time being as wizard as these guys!).

This whole remix version dubs are 80s / 90s dance style, which again gave me a nostalgic feel for bands I listened to in the 80s. (Human League, Vince Clarke, New Order, Orbital, Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, Bill Nelson, Visage, Bomb the Bass, Ultravox, Yazoo, Cabaret Voltaire, that sort of thing). Remix of tracks 3, 4, 7 and 8 were undoubtedly for me bringing UK synth guru John Foxx to mind by the industrialized synth moods and effects here. Fantastic sounds here, too! With Eason's remix CD here, I cannot imagine anyone sitting still for long by this mega fest of electronics, and by the quality of these mixs can be enjoyed by electronic dance and electronic synth pop music fans alike.

A great big 5 stars for this album and to Eason to dish out something energizing and fresh to you guys. And thats 5 stars for each CD! I have certainly enjoyed all of this (okay, it sings a bit too nostalgically in my case, I guess), but this is quality stuff in its own right. If you really like electronica dance music, you'll love this I can assure, and with Eason's music alongside, you get a totally wonderful double serving of CD loveliness here! This is a magnificent set and strongly recommend it! You'll dance the blue's away, thats for sure!

Just a small note - this is a re-submit as I reviewed the vinyl version by mistake at first . Sorry!! I have the CD version.
