1988 Beyond Secret Police 秘密警察

秘密警察 - Secret Police
Bei Mat Ging Caat
1988 - Label: Cinepoly

The third professional studio album by Beyond. This album considered their breakthrough. They had success bringing hard rock music into the mainstream. The album consisted numbers of hits. The first song, Cung Hoi Jat Cai (not sure how to translate this...it literally mean "to open"...) is heavy. The guitar intro is classic. Secret Police also heavy song, the intro riffs is awesome and the song sing under galloping bass line. Goodbye Faith repeated their first album, re-arranged, mixed with better guitar sounds and shorter than original. The Earth (Tai Di) is one of Beyond most popular songs. Followed by Hei Fun Nei / Love You. Both are extremely popular later.  未知賽事的長跑 (Mei Zi Coi Si Dik Coeng Paau) - Unknown Long-Distance Run, is heavy song ala Iron Maiden in the beginning. The last song Jyun Ngo Nang - Wish I Could is also familiar to ear. All the rest seems filler only.

note that I hardly able to translate the song titles meaning, basically just picked from Google translate.

1. 衝開一切 (Cung Hoi Jat Cai) - Entrance

2. 秘密警察 (Bei Mat Ging Caat) - Secret police

3. 再見理想 (Zoi Gin Lei Soeng) - Goodbye Faith
