1988 Beyond - Modern Stage 現代舞台

現代舞台 Modern Stage
Jin Doi Mou Toi - Xian Dai Wu Tai (Pinyin)
1988 - Label: KINN'S

The second Cantonese album. Beyond was still a five piece band, the other former member are Lau Chi Yuen (Liu Zhiyuan) and Dang Wai Him. Overall this album put down most of their hard rock style as in their previous album, bringing more pop-rock sounds on board.

Old Footprints (舊日的足跡 or Yesterday's Footprints) is a direct adaptation to its 1986 version from their self produced album. Crimson Blood has a nice groove, a regular playlist. Triumph In The Skies is a minor feel rock song. Cold Rainy Night is a popular song that in regular playlist. Modern Stage is a happy Hong Kong dance rock song, not much being played later. The other four songs did not have much memorable moment, can considered as filler only.

Modern Stage saw Beyond begin to reach wider audience by lowering their hard rock styles. Although then, this album very enjoyable with all songs easily become memorable after few spin.
