Cho Duk-Bae’s second album picks
up where his first album left off. The overall sound is driven mainly by soft
instruments like the acoustic guitar, piano, melodeon and flute, with the fast-paced
pop-rocker “You Who Are Hidden to Me” and a reprint of the first album’s
synth-grinder “You Look So Pretty From Behind” as exceptions. Unlike his first
album, several of these songs are collaborations with other writers.
Cho’s most famous song from this album is the dramatic “In a Dream,” which starts out airy and calm, but becomes ever more frantic as the singer’s desperation grows. Other highlights are the beautiful “To My Beloved Woman” (written for his wife, according to the singer himself) and the jazzy “A Woman There’s Only One of in This World.”
This album is only available on CD as a combined disc with Cho’s first album and a slightly different track sequence. The sequence here is the original one from the vinyl album.
