昨天在HMV買下一張2002年孖碟﹐才$45元﹐英國版﹐34首現今古典及Crossover之作﹐忍不住介紹其中一個二人組合 Opera Babes ﹐兩年前﹐請朋友英國旅行時﹐代買了她們2002年出版了首張大碟 Beyond Imagination, 碟內加上現今手法﹐重唱了歌劇蝴碟夫人的One Fine Day﹐成為了2002年官方2002 ITV 世界盃主題曲﹐很正。雖然依然是很糖衣味道﹐但比起 Bond來﹐她們算是少甜。總覺自譚盾為電影卧虎藏龍配樂後﹐西方音樂便多加入Percussion﹐這曲便是。(昨天看了Harry Plotter & The Prisoner of Azkaban也是。)
