Spotting a retro-image on the cover, Daniel Chan (or Chen Xiao Dong) has come out with his new release which is ironically titled "Modern Age".

This is a 2-CD offering, which is made up of an EP CD containing six brand new tracks and a full-length CD containing sixteen of his past collection songs.

Let's zoom in to the EP CD.  The first single is the Latin-style folkish ballad "Lend Me Your Shoulders" composed/arranged/produced by Mark Lui and written by Lin Xi.  The second single "Bubbles" is a dance track composed/arranged/produced by Wu Le Cheng and written again by Lin Xi.

The compilation CD contains some of his past favourite hits like "Ten Thousand Years" (or Yi Wan Nian), "Heart Game" (or Xin Li You Xi) and the Mandarin hit "Heart Has Someone" (or Xin You Du Zhong).

Karen Mok (or Mo Wen Wei) has released a single CD containing one brand new track and two past recordings.

The new song cum title track "Rebirth" is a ballad number which is the Hong Kong theme-song for the Japanese movie of the same name, starring Kyoko Fukada (or Shen Dian Gong Zi).

The two old tracks are :

- "The Light Of The Arctic Pole" (previously contained in her EP "Karen Mok") which is the Cantonese version of her Mandarin recording "Summer Fruit" contained in her latest best-selling Mandarin compilation "Karen More";

- "Love Of A Lifetime" which is the supporting theme-song for the Stephen Chow-Karen Mok movie "King Of Comedy" (previously contained in the movie soundtrack album).

The single CD comes in the AVCD format, meaning it doubles up as a VCD which contains the music videos for all the above three tracks.
