Eve Notebook - High Society

Eve remembers she once told someone she could do without a TV at home, but not without a Hi-Fi system. In fact, she would like to have a Nakamichi or B&O or Bose thank you.

Yes Eve is an audiophile in the making and probably would have grown much more if given the budget. Eve thinks it’s linked to her dancing. In fact, it is probably because of the innate natural response she has to music that expressed itself in dancing.

Eve has come to the conclusion that she has a strange affinity with That CD Shop at Pacific Plaza. Call it fate but that shop seems to have the uncanny ability to play the songs she’s looking for. Eve remembers the first time she was looking for a tango song where she had no idea what the title was or where to find it. Just as she was troubled about it, she stepped out of a cab at Pacific Plaza to find That CD Shop playing it. She went in to buy it at once of course. This was not the only time.

Eve has been listening to Bond’s version as well as Grace Jone’s version of Libertango pretty often recently due to the need to perform it for a couple of shows. Today as she walked towards Pacific Plaza, they were playing Bond’s Libertango. When she left the building about an hour later, they were playing Grace Jone’s version. Eve could not help but notice the coincidence *chuckles*

Talking about That CD Shop brings Eve to the title of this entry: High Society.

Eve is not talking about the privileged group of people who have loads of money to thrash around in or the music that is only for the privileged. In fact, you can buy it at That CD Shop.

High Society is a music collection conceptualized and released exclusively by That CD Shop. Herry, the boss of That CD Shop, certainly has good taste. Some true audiophiles may or may not agree with me, but I certainly love this collection of music. Each CD comes with its own little satin bag and is kept safely in a pretty and smooth box adorned by stylish pictures as album covers. The entire collection could sit as a display item on your CD shelf. Open that smooth box and you will find even smoother music.

What Herry has done is to take a collection of well known and not-so-well-known songs spanning across different genres including jazz, pop, disco, classical in different languages such as English , Mandarin, French and Spanish, give it a stylish modern remix twist and serve it in high quality HDCD recording. The result is luxurious and certainly deserves a good Hi-Fi system to go with it.

One of my many indulgent dreams would be to own the entire collection of High Society CDs. It would set me back a pretty neat sum given that there are 40 titles in the main collection now. That’s not even including the sub-collections. Best part is, they are constantly adding more titles to the collection.

I sure would love to own the whole collection one day. If you ever ask me to choose between a highly coveted LV bag and the entire High Society CD collection, the choice would be easy for me.

I would take the High Society CD collection please, thank you. :)
