Yes, they were a band that played their own instruments (which is not a common thing in an Asian music industry that focuses on singers and idols)! And the first song I ever heard from them is 真的愛妳 (Zhen De Ai Ni/Really Love You) from the album Beyond IV. I was in Ang Mo Kio Central on another typical Saturday evening in 1990 when the speakers from the shop with the CD wall started blaring out the opening guitar riffs in the video below.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It sounded like rock,
