Live THEY 2010 Compilation (missed updates)

There have been a lot of updates on the Live THEY 2010 performance and compilation on the Happy Robot Blog, that I've missed.

The compilation will be given first this weekend at the performance itself and be sold then in official stores starting November 30. There will be a limited edition which will contain so called 'heart cards' (not sure if it’s a name or a weird translation, simply cards expressing someone's heart) with signs and new year's greetings of each artist in a random order (one card each CD). As a special, the about 20 original Polaroid that are used for those heart cards will be randomly put into the CDs too.

The track list looks as following:

01. 추억을 머금은 그와 희망을 보듬은 그녀 (He who keeps the memories and she who clasps the hope) – Tearliner
Tearliner provides the opening and ending for the THEY 2010 compilation ‘Night Train’, serving as entrance and outlet
02. 크리스마스 약속 (Christmas promise) – THEY 2010
written and composed by EZ Hyung; The Koxx’ Saron on drums, Daybreak’s Kim Sun Il and Jung Yoo Jong on bass and guitar, Lim Young Jo on keyboard and strings; vocals are No Reply’s Sungwan, Naru, Daybreak’s Lee Won Seok and Jung Yoo Jo (usually guitar, makes his singer debut here.) and EZ Hyung
03. 들었다 놨다 feat. ROBO(apls) (DJ Schedule1 SNS Remix) – Daybreak
the loved track from Daybreak’s 2nd album, remixed with a hip hop rhythm, using a break beat(?) as base; ROBO keeps with his witty rap lyrics the song’s context of a cowardly man’s heart
04. 밤의 열차 (Night Train) – Naru, Oh Ji Eun
to the soft electronic song Naru made (of course all alone, composing, instrument play, arrangement), Oh Ji Eun put the lyrics to it in 10 minutes.
05. 시야 (Shaun Remix) – No Reply
The Koxx’ Shaun remixes No Reply’s at live performances well received song with a strong electro beat and gorgeous synthesizer arrangement
06. 얼음땡 feat. Joe Brown (Toy Rock remix) – The Koxx
Joe Brown adds his essay-like lyrics in a solid rap
07. It’s You – Daybreak, EZ Hyung
composed by Daybreak, lyrics added by EZ Hyung; guitar pop; sung in a duet
08. 누구라도 있어줘 (whoever you are, be with me) – Serengeti, No Reply
Serengeti’s Boss nova track with Sungwan’s loneliness, touching lyrics telling of the everyday life of an insignificant man
09. Arch – LOZIK(apls), Shaun, Naru
reminding of Havard’s works in the latter half of their activities; English lyrics written and sung by Naru, also contains Shaun’s composing abilities
10. Your Body (Shaun remix) – Joe Brown
Shaun changing the Hip Hop House track to a strong rock sound
11. 사랑하는 나의 악사들에게 (To my dear musicians) – THEY 2010
composed by Daybreak’s Lee Won Seok and Kim Jang Won, lyrics added by Oh Ji Eun; Serengeti playing each their respective instruments, Sooryun playing guitar, Shaun on synthesizer and Daybreak’s Kim Jang Won on piano; vocals are Oh Ji Eun, Serengeti’s Yoo Jung Gyun and Jang Dong Jin, Daybreak’s Lee Won Seok and Lee Hyun Song; following Oh Ji Eun’s words, the lyrics are about a fan who sees his/her favorite musician’s performance
12. 너를 보며 (두번째 이야기) - Tearliner

Trailer and such have been uploaded too a lot on youtube.

MPMG to release THEY 2010 compilation

It has been posted on the Happy Robots blog that the Master Plan Music Group* will release a compilation of THEY 2010.

It will contain the songs that have been introduced already through Serengeti Jang Dong Jin's personal radio show 'Night Train', means EZ Hyung and Daybreak's 'It's You', The Koxx Shawn's remix of No Reply's '시야' and Naru and Oh Ji Eun's song with the same title 'Night Train'. The last episode of 'Night Train' guests No Reply and Serengeti, who are also working on a new boss nova styled song. Besides those there will be some new songs and one song featuring all MPMG musicians.

Another interesting point at this year's live THEY is, that Serengeti's Jang Dong Jin and Naru became team leaders and will separate the MPMG musicians. What exactly stands behind that will be seen when the event starts with a video October 18.

The live performance live THEY 2010 will take place November 27 and 28 at Sang Sang Madang.

* Master Plan Music Group (MPMG) consists of Master Plan, Happy Robots, The Park Studio, Mintpaper and Live Paraid.
