Beyond Tried New Musical Style in 1997


Beyond didn't recruit new member after the death of Wong Ka Kui


After a long time since the last album, Beyond eventually released its new album named Please Let Go of Your Hands. The whole album could be seen as a completely new experiment. In addition, psychedelic electronic music was added in their music. The songs such as Let Go of Your Hands and Big Era were excellent in describing Hong Kong citizens' inside world in the end of the 20th century. They also composed songs for the animal welfare fund and deaf persons such as Who Names Me and Echo. However, the song of Echo was criticized that it imitated the style of Oasis. This whole album was recorded in their own record studio, which made them being proud.

At the end of the year, Beyond released another album Surprise and the style of electronic style was still contained in this album. In this album, the members of Beyond tried to change their singing voice and gave the audience completely new experience. However, the musical critic thought that the style of Beyond music was fixed and the pure rock music was not as popular as in the past.

Just in the year of 1997, Beyond worked hard to change their music style and did a lot of attempts.
