Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars 12 Girls Band is incredible... as always!!.......2005-09-08

This awesome band just keeps getting better and better. I feel their sound is coming together now more than ever. Much of the credit belongs to their song writer and arranger Lian Jianfeng of course, but then this couldn't be done without the 12 (thirteen) Girls. This CD centralizes around a cultural and historical theme that is explained in the accompanying VCD which, essentually, points out that a historical Chinese location called Dunhuang was a crossroads for different cultures in the past. Knowing that gives this CD a deeper meaning. Nevertheless the music is great on it's own merits. One thing about 12 Girls Band CDs is, personally, I am never happy with the order of the songs. They never seem to flow the way I would like them to so I usually program my own song order and burn a disc from that that I can listen to. This is the order I prefer to hear on this disc:

Dunhuang
Ruten
Romantic Energy
El Condor Pasa
Flower
From Beginning Till Now
Whispering Earth
Carnival
Ihojin
Yangguan
Mogao Grottoes
Yueya Spring
Tang Court Ensemble
Ten-Sided Ambush / Lovers
River Shule
Fairies of Yarden

So that's how I like it anyway. You can try it if you want.

One highlight on this disc is Ten-Sided Ambush / Lovers. These two songs, which play like one song, were originally performed on the House of Flying Daggers soundtrack. This arrangement is absolutely beautiful. I only wish it wasn't so short.

I would recommend an imported DVD/CD set of their recent live concert in 2005 (performed in Japan if I'm correct). I can't type a title because it's written in Chinese. Amazon doesn't sell it but if you try hard you can find it on the web. This concert video is from the ROmantic Energy tour and contains some of these songs, as well as other favorites.
