Edmund Leung's first solo album sees him depart from the heavy and prodominently angry sound in the last ....Huh!? album "Walk In The Park". While also working on his goodmorningloria project, he released this more acoustic album, with a dedication to understanding life. The album artwork (which is reproduced in full in the download) opens with his words: "... to understand is to reach out, to be understood is to welcome those who are reaching out ...). While clearly without fast pace songs, the album has a uplifting feel, with songs like "Fly", "Don't Be Sad", and philosophical songs like "Pig In Space", having these lines: "A turtle will fly when you throw it high/A cattle will call you by your name".
The album arts is a particular treasure in this album, completely reproduced from its 5x7 inch original.

The first album of ....Huh!? was one of those much loved debut albums with songs like "Beautiful Night", "Mr. Black" and "The Way We Are" that reaches with instantly while remaining youthful. Notably, the front cover of the album was a portrait of a dog living with street-dwellers in Wanchai in the 1990s, marking the time and location of this music. Now a Hong Kong alternative rock classic, this album is known to continue to influence young up and coming bands for its unpretentious clarity in the music.

After the departure of Tim, original vocal that more or less became a signature of ....Huh!?, the band went on to explore sound and music structure, and have written and recorded an album that is even bigger than its sound. Accordingly, Edmund, guitarist, was satisfied with the wall-of-sound they have created, and drama is brought out in full through music and sound production. There are crafty songs like "Ice Cream Parlour", and true "sound level 11" tunes like "Elephant Song" that should make you sit up, or turn it off ... depending on which part of day you're listening to it in. Even an acoustic tune like "The Love Song" has power that convince you of the master craftsmanship in the making of this album, both musically, and production-wise.
