Not a big fan of 劉華, probably can tell by the fact that I rarely post his stuff. But I do admit, this song has a great melody.

None of the 6 tracks of Andy Lau's posts play/load. I waited for a day or 2 now. Not even when I stripped the opendrive-links from the posts (normally I can get them played)!

Just logged into the online spreadsheet. It's completely empty (updated by you 4 days ago, it says). Is that correct?

Griffin. Spreadsheet issue fixed. GoogleDocs was frozen the other day while I was editting, it might have erased the spreadsheet by mistake.

I am currently listening to the first Andy Lau's track right now, it plays at this end. I know that OpenDrive has a number of maintenance later. Wish they will stabilize soon.

See if you can get to: http://www.opendrive.com/, it is also possible that they block connection from out of US to reduce traffic while they are maintaining too.

God blessed ;) it's there!

I can reach their site. But all 6 of them don't play.

Tried Norman/First Ending & Leon's (the one before interesting fact). Nothing played. I got the Leon's files. So they were okay! Perhaps it's the maintainence like you said. I'll wait.

Now I got another big trouble. The webs.com, where I keep the CD covers previously. Because I haven't login that account for so long, they removed all my photos, including the background of this blog. Isn't that ridiculous? Oh gosh... we'll see what options I have here.

Oops, there's always something going on with you, poor thing, hahaha ;)

How long ago was it that you've logged in? I assume not that long because you keep posting the new stuff with new cover arts etc.

No wonder the some cover arts & parts of the background weren't loading the past few days.

Good luck & if I can help in any way please let me know!

Thank you for the folder link. It doesn't allow individual download. I'm downloading all files at once in a zip file ;( Better all the birds in my hands than in the air (hahaha, this is my "new" saying/quote).

Long story short. I have two accounts with the webs.com, the old one was full a while back, so I started a new one, and had never login the old account anymore. Obviously, covers in there were like for posts in the first two years, I will have to slowly find and upload them again. But that's my last concern. I want to fix the layout and the current posts first. Just gonna do something very simple and basic.

As far as opendrive goes... I am not sure about individual download, since I wouldn't need to download them myself, so I never tried. But I think you can click on individual file and listen there and there is a download there as well. Maybe it's there if you need only one or two songs. I hope it will allow you to play on the website of course.

I wonder if anyone else is having the same problem as you, since I can still play on the website tonight.

I can't play mine, which stored in opendrive, either.

@black lab, I've left you a comment on Boy George's CD "Made in U.K. by PDO" I hope it helps!

@Favorites In Original, I've downloaded the whole thing, unzipped & deleted the ones I've got already! Now I can leave comments on the new posts ;P

@black lab, Tape Remastered is yours right? Or had I mixed it up with some else? In that case: sorry!

Yeah, this is one of the Andy songs I like! Masayuki Suzuki's a 1min+ longer. An edit? We'll see. I prefer Andy's a bit more (listened probably too often back then & first impression helped). I've noticed Andy's singing had improved compared to the 2 heartless/feelingless performances.

Benny, could you please extended/higher the value/number of Recent Comments? Thanks.

I guess it's worth to mention to round up your 4 Heavenly Kings-posts (I'm not sure whether someone remembers it):
永不放棄 合唱
倫永亮 曲
周禮茂 詞

Polygram had their duet with 張學友 & 黎明 (1994 寶麗金 鼓舞飛揚). And Warner had their duet with 劉德華 & 郭富城 (1994 華納 天碟八). It has nothing to do with FIO, but kind of unique: 4 of them singing the same song!

Not the original singers but I believe it's original backing music of the Warner duet! Strangely it sounds like a duet by "Andy Lau" with "Leon Lai"!

Andrew Tuason did a great job in the arrangements! Andy's shortened the music break from 3:50 on, took out the final singing-part & cut to music outro. Well done. Made an edit with extended outro in the style of Andy's! Also fixed Andy's abrupt ending.
