...Official alan Thread...

The screeching is what makes her interesting!! I probably wouldn't even be listening to her if it wasn't for that

I love them too. It's just about enough to not sound too ouotlandish and alien IMO.

I love it when she hits the high notes. It's awesome.

That Alan song reminds me of this one. Don't know why.

[~Matt~]

alan's live singing is amazing (o_o) that's what got me into her music <3

**** yeah!
that was awesome!
i love traditional blends.

that almost sounds like some afro celt sound system wouldve come up with.
who is that?

[Huaka]

Her name is Sa Ding Ding, she was born in Mongolia, and can speak Sanskrit, Mandarin, and Tibetan (like Alan). The song was called Alive (Sanskrit Version).

Huaka, thank you for showing that clip. I'm most definitely buying Sa Ding Ding's album after that. Alive is amazing, and I read a review saying that the other songs are just as good. It's only $18 on Yesasia too.

As for alan, I hope she continues to be unique, even if it doesn't sell. I really want a strong debut album from her.

[Halla]

Sa Ding Ding sounds great too, I'd love to hear more of her music

I ran a google search on her & found out her album has been released in Europe too. I'm gonna see if I can find it in the stores here.

^If u guys like that sorta music, u can check up on Tibetan and Mongolian music. The traditional music in the Highlands in Central Asia are pretty much that style, which is why alan's music is very familiar for me, being an asian..

I found her official UK / EU website. you can stream samples off her album on the site.

[Huaka]

I found some of her music to stream. I love the Holy Incense song. =). You can stream it on imeem or something.

[paper_doll]

^ Oooh, thanks

I also came across this gorgeous gallery: here and at the same site you can listen to the Chinese version of Alive.

Same. They have this sort of earthly feel to them which makes them so attractive

[cloud♥honey]

As I've posted in Multimedia center, here are the scans of Ashita e no Sanka. They aren't so in super mega quality but it's very fine.

[Huaka]

The Alan song is not too bad, I really don't like when she does that super high last note though. The single cover is pretty. Haha.
