After so many years, he has finally released his own solo effort.  As its title "Techno.Love" implies, the album music is purely techno (coupled with a strong Pet Shop Boys music influence), with all the songs being composed and arranged by the talented guy himself.  

The first single cum title track "Techno Love" is a whopping six-minute plus track composed and written by Li.

Two note-worthy mentions :-

- Singer Cheer Chen (or Chen Qi Zhen) wrote the lyrics of four of the songs here, including the second single "Butterfly" and the third single "Don't Love Me".  His latter work "Don't Love Me" was originally recorded by Karen Mok and contained in her "It's Karen Mok" release.

- Faith Yang Nai Wen lent her vocals in a duet track "High".  Li Yu Huan has the honour of being the first male artiste to sing alongside the winner of this year's Golden Melody Best Female Singer Award.  One can understand why Faith chose to contribute her maiden duet recording to Li : after all, her very first publicised vocal work on entering the music showbiz was doing an acoustic studio-live version of "Loving You Is My Own Fault" (or Ai Shang Ni Zhi Shi Wo De Cuo).

Her new offering offers to bring out the more "mature" side of Vivian via her music.

Some highlights :-

- The first single and title track "Fake Angel" is a techno rock number composed and produced by Wu Bai with the lyrics written by Vivian herself.  This is the first time that they have collaborated.

- The second single "She He" is a soft-sounding ballad composed by Luna Sea's guitarist Suzigo and written by Vivian (gossip note : both of them are reportedly an item together).  He also provides the guitar accompaniment in the song.  Suzigo goes one step further by appearing in the music video of "She He" with his eyes blind-folded while playing his guitar.

- Lee Hom (or Wang Li Hong) lends his violin skills here by playing in the beginning interlude track "Missing Lizard".

Like her debut effort, Grace Chow's (or Zhou Hui) latest album is also produced by Ji Zhong Ping and Chen Zi Hong.  The production cast is further boosted by the addition of another veteran musician Huang Yi who produced the title track cum first single ballad "To Love You Well" which is written by the duo Chen Jian Ning/Chen Zheng Qing and written by Wu Yu Kang.

The second single "Stand-In" is another very nice ballad written and produced by Grace's mentor Ji Zhong Ping.  

Another note-worthy mention is that local folk-song singers Liang Wei Feng and Tang Yu Xuan have collaborated on a nice mid-tempo work "Angel Face" which is included as Track 2 in the album.

Overall, the twelve-track album contains mostly competent and radio-friendly sentimental ballads.  I guess this is the main reason why the record company continues to title it "Zhou Hui Collection 2" as they feel that almost all the songs here qualify as chart-topping first singles.

Other highlights :-

- Her earlier hit "Conversation Topic" (which is included in the later-edition of her debut album) can also be found here, no doubt to "pacify" those fans who bought the first batches of her first album but have limited financial resources to purchase the subsequent re-released edition.  

- Grace's solo version of "Met Too Early" (or Xiang Yu Tai Zao) is included too, complete with a brand new arrangement.  In fact, it must be made known that the record company has originally secured this song to be her current album's first single.  However her good friend William So later heard and fell in love with the same track and managed to release it earlier as his first single.  Fortunately, this doesn't affect the strong bonds between these two "siblings" and Grace even did a duet live-concert version with him.

- Her new album cover and inner sleeves once more feature oriental drawings (albeit a bit more westernised) of herself, this time being drawn by another internationally-acclaimed artist Maurice Vellekoop who hails from Canada.

Just like his last album "Straw Man", his new offering is once more produced by Wang Zhi Ping (who handles the fast tempo tracks such as the first single "Go For A Walk") and Chen Guo Hua (who helms the sentimental side of Jimmy, for instance the second single "No Regrets").
