The ten most classic songs of Compass are: Can't escape, Yaomei, Who do you love, Dead Life, Wizard, Light Balloon, Soul Song, Give Peace a Chance, New Year and No More Ideas.
Compass is a band whose members include Liu Zhengrong (lead singer), Zhou Di (guitar), Guo Liang (keyboard), Yue Haokun (bass), Yuan Ding (saxophone) and Zheng Zhaohui (drummer). Before the interview with Compass on August 13th, I even thought that this long-silent band had lost its original passion and courage.
however, now, the compass people give me a negative persuasion with their music. The figure of Compass Man has been out of our sight for a long time, but I want to remind my friends that we must have a new psychological preparation before we are eager to have a dialogue with Compass Man. In terms of musical language and concept, the maturity of this album has far exceeded the category of compass band that we were familiar with before.
Band development:
Before signing with Jingwen, Compass Man's main activity was to promote the image of Hong Kong Anhengli Company, which provided them with rehearsal equipment and venues. The performance area and number of performances were extremely limited. In 1995, together with the Overload Band, I toured all parts of Zhejiang in an open car in a purely gypsy way. The enthusiastic response of the audience made the band both gratified and worried.
In the last play in Shanghai, they witnessed the first three rows of chairs being trampled to pieces in an instant. On other occasions, they met special forces. They feel guilty and sad that they can't face their friends who call the name of the compass. But they already know that there are so many people who need to bathe in such music, which may be the only reason why they are not moved by various desires and inducements in the dilemma of life.
