Born in 2001, Cold Fairyland began as the project of coworkers Lin Di (Vocals/Pipa/Keyboard) and Suyong (Bass). Taking the name from the Chinese translation of one of Lin Di's favorite books by author Haruki Murakami, they reworked several songs they had each previously written and made a demo. Unofficially released online, it was soon picked up by underground record company LStape and released on cassette. Now this demo is available as their first CD demo "Flying Over the City".

Flying over The City

1:Morning

2:Sea Rose

Hilda Doolittle (1916)   

Rose, harsh rose, marred and with stint of petals, meagre flower, thin, spare of leaf,

more precious than a wet rose single on a stem --
you are caught in the drift. you are sea rose.

Stunted, with small leaf, you are flung on the sand,
you are lifted in the crisp sand that drives in the wind.

Can the spice-rose drip such acrid fragrance hardened in a leaf? you are sea flower,sea rose

3:Black Wing

4:Who Knows

5:Only one

6:Very Much

7:Waiting For Farewell
