Containing a total of fifteen tracks, the compilation encompasses many of her chart-topping hits during her three-year stint at EMI Music.  They include "Conquer" (or Zheng Fu), "Clear Cut" (or Gan Cui), "Heartbreak Romance" (or Xin Suan De Lang Man) and her early hit "Daylight Doesn't Understand The Darkness Of The Night" (or Bai Tian Bu Dong Ye De Hei).  Refer below for the full song listing in Big5 Chinese.

Quite a good collection, I must say.

Containing a total of eleven vocal tracks and one interlude number, all the songs (except for one) are composed by Sky himself.  What's more, all the tracks are produced by him. 

The first single cum title track "Wanting" is a catchy light-tempo song, with lyrics written by Yao Qian.  A note-worthy mention is that Sky went all the way to England to seek the flute that was used in the movie theme-song of the Leonardo DeCaprio mega flick "Titanic".  As a result, one can hear the flute being utilised in the music arrangement of a few tracks here, including the first single "Wanting".

Other highlights :-

- he sang his own work "The Other Side", originally performed by Elva under the name "Weather Outside The Window" (or Chuang Wai De Tian Qi).  Personally I preferred Sky's version as his music arrangement plus his heartfelt rendition touched a chord in me.

- there is a Mandarin duet "The Message For 2001" (intermixed with Cantonese lyrics written by Lin Xi) sung with CoCo Lee (or Li Wen).  The Mandarin lyrics is written by Wu Xiong, the same guy who wrote A Liang's rap hit "Zi Yue".

- Other nice tracks include the easy-listening and light-tempo "A Patch Of Sky" and the moving Irish-flute ballad "If You're Willing".

Overall, a worthy album which is packed with radio-friendly tunes.

Spotting a cowboy image, A Liang's latest offering is produced by, among others, Huang Shu Jun and Cao Jun Hong.  To tie in with his popular mass-appeal TV image, his album contains mainly catchy tunes that are acceptable to kids and adults alike.  Just like his previous release, the songs here are a combination of rap, light dance and ballads.

His first single "Get Up Song" is a light-tempo kiddy song that is taken from a popular Japanese tune.  Other note-worthy tracks include two duets, one sung with TV host partner Huang Zi Jiao called "Pals" and another duet "As Long As You Are In My Heart" performed with a popular Taiwan Internet mascot.

As the album is released around the Lunar New Year holidays, the first batch comes bundled with red-packets and new-year banners which are bound to please the parents who are buying the CDs for their children.  Talk about shrewd marketing.
