A Chinese Ghost Story Soundtrack (倩女幽魂) [REPOST]

As I've posted several times before, I am a huge Hong Kong movie fan and "A Chinese Ghost Story" is definitely on my favorites list. While Tsui Hark's "Zu: The Warriors of the Magic Mountain" may be considered the original fantasy/sfx epic, I think A Chinese Ghost Story (produced by Hark as well) told a more cohesive story and really up'd the bar for the genre. Naturally the film was a great success and sparked a love affair with romantic ghost/fantasy films in Hong Kong. Many similar films were made, some good, most bad (including the first sequel to this movie, though it's grown on me) but none held up to the original. Well enough blabbing, if you are familiar with the film, you know it had some great music and OST songs, particularly from leading man Leslie Cheung. Hong Kong soundtracks are rare and hard to come to by and I'm pretty sure most were never released, so unfortunately this is either a vinyl rip or a rip from the film. Surprisingly the quality is decent enough though and I was super happy to find it when I did a while back. Most of the original links are dead so I thought I'd repost it. I also included the two theme songs from the sequels, both by Jacky Cheung. Enjoy!

Thanks to Skobiddly for the request, sorry its late!!!

Canto-pop: Anita Mui, Sally Yeh & Teresa Carpio

THREE CANTO-POP LEGENDS!

I have been wanting to post some more Canto-pop for a while and what better way to do it, then with these three artists. Hong Kong in the 80's was like the Disney channel of countries when it came to their entertainment business, everyone did everything! They acted, sang, danced, did their own stunts...you name it! While Anita and Sally were more established actress, Mrs. Carpio had her fair share of roles on the silver screen (Happy Ghost anyone?). One thing they all share in common though, is their fantastic voices and amazing songs. Unfortunately, time has run its course and careers have fade. Disease robbed the world of Anita too early and the others have followed their own pursuits. However, we will always have the works to enjoy, all of which will stand the test of time. This post will include a 3 disc greatest of Anita's, a greatest from Sally and Teresa's 1985 album Why Give Up. Highly Recommended! Enjoy!

25 Years of Hong Kong Movie Themes Songs Collection + Extras & Hard-Boiled OST+Various John Woo Movie Scores [Link Updates]

I've been meaning to post these for a while but got pushed when I saw fen's A Better Tomorrow post. I found the 25HK compilation off a torrent and it has a lot of great tracks and some all time classics. However, I also complied some songs I had from various Hong Kong films. They vary in quality and I ripped and edit some but you can't find most easily. Also posted is the soundtrack to John Woo's classic Hard-Boiled. Awesome music from American composer Michael Gibb highlighted the atmosphere of the heroic bloodshed film, a genre that John Woo defined. Thanks to a youtube user SleazySanjuro, I also included score rips from both of Woo's The Killer and Bullet in the Head. Since neither saw a soundtrack release, the quality isn't the greatest but I am just happy to listen to them. There is a little for everybody and I hope everyone enjoys it! However, since megaupload is reworking their rewards system, I can't tell if anybody is downloading anyway!
