KIM HYUNG JOONG IS NOT ONE OF THOSE SINGERS IN KOREA THAT SELLS "MILLIONS" OF CD'S LIKE OTHERS BUT HE IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT A GREAT SINGER,I HAVE ALL OF HIS RECORDS AND I AM NEVER DISAPOINTED BY HIM,THE SECOND TRACK IS A WONDERFUL BALLAD AND THE VOICE OF KIM SOUND LIKE HEAVEN TO ME.

the ballads are amazing,strings arangements are absboloutly wonderfuls,from my point of view "sunshine" is park hwayobi's masterpiece and her most adfult and mature introspection.
the voice of the woman is incredible.

June 20, 2008 ONE MORE TIMEthe last cd from korean king of ballad mr sung si kyung is now available and he is for sure one of his best achievment...the songs are mostly oriented for
adult audience.
the ballads of the last opus are gently composed
with elegant and very inspired string arangement. the voice of si kyung is always superb and touching,powerful and delicate.
in my opinion some ballads here are among
the most romantic songs ever sing by this great artist.
a must have of 2008Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(2)Our Price: US$12.99List: US$18.99Save: US$6.00 (32%)Usually ships within 7 daysMarch 8, 2008 another great cd from nellalternative versions of their old songs,but great ones with more maturity in the production,less rock and primitive than their first work but with a really interesting search of perfection in the sound,i really think that nell will became in a near future a cult group;a wonderful indie band with his typical melancolik rock,(influenced by great bands like radiohead,red house painters;etc...),but with a more imediat "easy listening" impact.
i have all cds of nell even the now ultra rare first cd,"reflections of nell",and all are great ones.
superb korean group.....just hope they keep making cds,with the same evolution.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
