The Official F.I.R Thread


F.I.R is Faye, Ian, and Real.

F.I.R. was formed two years before their debut; and was one of Ian's dreams to make (he had been in the music business for over 10 years). However, after working for this long amount of time, Ian felt that the music and albums he was producing were too commercial and over-packaged. Faye was picked for the band, as Ian had heard her sing in a competition once before, and Real was chosen because of his skill at guitar and is an award-winning composer.

An interesting fact about the group is that each member has extremely differing musical tastes. Faye prefers western music, Real listens to a lot of Japanese music and draws from these influences, and Ian listens to everything and has a heavy music background; his father was a music teacher and his mother taught vocal lessions.

F.I.R. originally debuted with the ballad Lydia, which was used for the themesong for the Chinese drama The Outsiders. However, the biggest twist was that they were not announced, and stayed unknown till later on when interest and popularity in them grew because of the drama.
FIR strikes me as particualry note worthy for their fresh music and beautiful PVs (wo men da ai was gorgeous)
As semingly "new" to the music scene they've been granting with a multitude of awards and the like.

Albums
1st
The Fairyland in Reality


2nd
Unlimited


3rd
Flight Tribe


I first heard their 1st Album in 2005 and I was blown away by its originality and beauty. (Intro 尋夢之途 captivated me. ) since then its been love love love. I recently received that same album in the mail from YA (the only one they had was CD+VCD ver.) I wasn't too interested in the VCD at first (I just wanted the CD) but I was captivated by the softness of the booklet features. (I made scans)





Anway, I finally got around to watching the VCD which featured the PVs: Lydia, Fly Away, and Wo Men De Ai all three blew me away. I plan on buying their other two albums too, even though I didn't really enjoy Flight Tribe as much as I did the previous two albums.

So, we finally have a thread for FIR, a great Taiwanese band. Tell me your experiences with the band, what you like/dislike and just let the discussion begin.
