This is a rare experience, standing at the intersection of East and West, modernity and tradition, and enjoying the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In the album, Wang Yong started an experimental journey based on Eastern spirit and Western techniques by integrating his skillful folk music foundation with modern music styles. The complexity of the musical elements and the fusion of instruments in this album are unprecedented in the history of Chinese music. From the perspective of arrangement, the atmosphere of the entire album is sometimes ethereal, sometimes eerie, sometimes peaceful, and sometimes like a thousand armies. Wanma, the artistic conception of the lyrics is that the more vernacular the words describe, the more bizarre the realm is, and the more mysterious the words are, the more peaceful and pure it is. Wang Yong completely subverts the rationality necessary for pop music. At first glance, it sounds It may feel a little weird, but it's fascinating in every way.

The "Past Life" album has been recorded since December 1994, and the mixing was completed in April 1995. For Wang Yong, this is a complete experience from long-term reflection on the environment to music integration. , as for the folk music performers who participated together, this album released the increasingly declining burden of folk music and also opened up many possibilities in tone. Wang Yong extracted the essence from folk music, combined it with Western music culture, and created the album "Past Life". It also crossed the boundaries between Eastern and Western music. But on a spiritual level, can there be a relative exchange of ideas due to cultural exchanges? effect? Maybe we should all open our hearts and accept more cultural baptism from different regions.

Wang Yong’s music has a very profound national cultural heritage, and the far-reaching, mysterious and broad atmosphere of ancient Chinese culture revealed in it is fascinating. Its music cannot be strictly called rock music. It is a bit similar to the music of the Enigma Band, Secret Garden Enya and others. It belongs to the category of mysticism and can be called the new music of the Chinese.

The overture led by the low Xun music is like a compassionate practitioner's profound interpretation of the human world; but hidden behind it is a farewell ceremony to filthy human nature: "Let me fly" is It clearly points out the joy that the soul is about to leave the body. The chorus of human voices, pipa, and guitar sounds like a good state illuminated by Buddha's light; the "bamboo and pine" sheng music and drums are like a grand sacrificial ceremony. Solemn and solemn; the female voice chanting sutras and wooden fish in "Qingquan"; the beating vitality in "Yue". From the beginning to the present, this album has gone from deep to bright, with extremely coherent emotions. The following "Calling the Soul" is cold and eerie. The Tibetan girl's singing swoops down from high in the sky, which is endlessly memorable. "The Soul" is the most explosive song in terms of form in the "Afterlife" album. In it, Wang Yong tries to think about the definition of death and gods and demons from opposite angles, while "Himalaya" is a 10-minute long song. The mysterious epic, the original and precious timbre of Tibetan monks and ritual instruments, embellished with electronic synthesizers, fully demonstrates the characteristics of world music and new century music, and its majestic momentum makes people excited; the artistic conception of "rebirth" is warm , embodies the profound meaning of the return of thousands of people, as if all the joys and sorrows of life will calm down in an instant, and gods and demons will no longer have to confront each other, and will return to their own space in a peaceful world.
