Beyond - Malaysia Unplugged 1993 马来西亚不插电演唱会

BEYOND 1993 Malaysian Unplugged
马来西亚不插电演唱会

Their only notable Malaysian concert, with all song re-arranged into unplugged version. The first song is trivia because Wong  Ka Kui missed the correct pitch, but quickly restore it in the first verses. It is done in blues style. The song selections is good, they seems to be very natural to be done in unplugged session and become a good version of it. This is also an important live recorded just before Wong Ka Kui passed away. 1993 National Indoor stadium Kuala Lumpur.

1999 - Goodtime
Label: 滾石唱片 Rock Records (HK)

This is Beyond's fifteenth album and also their last studio album as original three piece band. The album has no Mandarin title but just English title "Goodtime", just like in "Paradise" album. The album slightly return to guitar orientated sound. As in their previous two albums (Surprise and Until You Are Here), the album represented Beyond hyper modern era.

"Good Time" is nice alternative rock song with lots of guitar explorations. The English chorus lyric is quite memorable. "失蹤 Missing" is also a strong song with nice guitar chopped rhythm. "錯有錯著 By Chance" is also not bad, the bluesy guitar lead in the intro is welcome by old time listener, indeed the song is quite old-times in style. "洗衣粉 Washing Power" is harder song, again very close to their Paradise-era. The album close with "hidden" track, "Evolution". It started after few seconds of silence.

Goodtime is actually quite strong album with all three members begin to employed their rock roots. Unfortunately this is also their farewell album. The band still released Live album after this.

02. 失蹤 Missing

1998 不見不散 
Until You Arrive
Label: 滾石唱片 Rock Records (HK) 

Until You Arrive / 不見不散 is Beyond's 14 studio album, sing mainly in Cantonese and released in December 1998. The album continued Beyond ultra modern sounds. Leave little trace of what done in Paradise album, which itself still very connected to Wong Ka Kui's era. Starting their previous album (Surprise) and this one, Beyond already left their root many miles behind.

The opening track "Sunday 星期天" is calm pop-rock style song. "犧牲 Sacrifice" is quite acoustic in mood. The upbeat song is "蚊 Mosquito", where the guitar riffs is very alternative rock in style. While "時日無多 Last Day" is a recalled of bluesy-rock guitar play. The harder song is "扯火 Fury" with at least leading distortion to be heard. The title song "不見不散 Until You Arrive" is quite ambient techno rock song. The album finished with instrumental "Phantom Power" with some slapping funky bass line and finally guitar solos.

請將手放開 - Please Let Go of Your Hands
1997 Label: 滾石唱片 Rock Records (HK)
also known as "Thrash"

In 1997, Beyond released "Please Let Go of Your Hands". It is the 12th studio album by them. The music is largely diverse from the three album post-Wong Ka Kui (Paradise, Sound, Love & Life). They are even more modern-rock sounding, the first track "Era" (大時代) is kind of industrial-rock. The most popular would be "Preparation" (預備 , or "Ready"), which going to be played frequently in their concert. The title song "Please Let Go of Your Hands" ( 請將手放開) is also popular, still kind of connected with their lost. The heaviest song is "Huuh! Still talk about it?" (吓，講乜野話？).  "Anaesthesia" (麻醉 ) is the only song that kind of reminded us into old '80-'90 Beyond song, with its soft rock ballad setting.

This album enjoy their late '90 Beyond success, but this is it, where the sign of popularity declined begin to show. This may be the last Beyond album that still widely await by mainstream fans.
