The Prologue [RealAudio] works well for this CD. It's slightly longer than most intro pieces, and does a good job of setting the tone for the following song. It's a nice blend of African and Asian sounds.

I know Junsulsokae Noogoongachuhrum (Like Someone in a Legend) [MP3] sounds like it's something out of The Lion King, but the truth is, this sort of quasi-African music has been around longer than that movie.

The third cut on the CD, Gajahnah (You're Leaving) [RealAudio] is more in the style that long-time fans have come to expect of Shin Seung Hun. This is a ballad in Shin's classic style.

Uhmmayah [RealAudio] is an upbeat disco-ish song. It's jazzier and lighter than Gajahnah. The real strength of all the songs on this CD is the singer himself -- although this is not my favorite style, I like his pure tones. There's not a lot of pretense or posing in his music.

The guitar prefacing Naeahnui Geuneh [RealAudio] is a nice touch. This is another ballad typical of Shin Seung Hun's previous albums. It moves slowly -- there is no hurry with this type of song.

Shin Seung Hun breaks away from the ballad again with Good bye my love [RealAudio]. This is far from a rock song, and not even really edgy enough to be a pop song, but it's livelier than most pieces on the album.

Eebeul Geuhee (Since Then) [RealAudio] tries to evoke a mournful, Mediterranean spirit in its orchestration, while Uhneu Muhtjinnahl [MP3] starts out sounding as if its being performed in an old-time piano bar before morphing into a lounge tune. Seulpeun Guhjitmal (A Sad Lie) [RealAudio] is a pretty ballad that shows off the singer's voice on the sustained notes.

I like the "salsified" pop sound of Change [MP3]. This is a good song for listening cruising in the car with the windows down on a sunny day. It's also a good song if you want to practice for that upcoming Open Latin ballroom dance competition.

Rounding out the album is Forever [RealAudio], a pop tune set to a disco beat. This song, which reminds me of the theme to ChiPs, is based on a synthesized sound track. Shin has taken pains to vary his style and sound throughout the CD which is admirable.
