What!!! I missed this great piece of work - White Horse

A interesting electronic mix with Taiwanese folk opera with a creative cover, the package was selected by Grammy Award. According to an blog interview, the package concept is trying to combine the classic Chinese visual character and digital collage skill to express this album's idea.
