cover of SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES' "HK Garden"  by: HONG KONG COUNTERFEIT featuring vocals by FAI LIGHT, additional vocals by: KATYA CASIO (recorded & produced by HK Counterfeit, Kinetik Media, ©-HKC/CultHeroes Records)
This track was created around vocals by a fan(Fai Light) from Hong Kong singing "Hong Kong Garden". He saw us featured on the cover of "NEW MUSIC" Magazine in HK and contacted Vadim (our manager at the time). I found Fai's vocal delivery very charming! His enthusiasm really touched me and I suggested Johnny that we should build-up a real track around the vocals that Fai Light recorded at a local Karaoke!

Strange Emotions

Lyrics : Lory Fayer / L'ordre d'Héloïse
Music : L'ordre d'Héloïse

Je suis posé sur l’étagère, j’écoute chanter de nombreux airs,
Pourtant drapé dans un vynil, je suis pressé entre deux livres.
Juste rangé dans les affaires, personne ne s’inquiète des mystères
Des sons flous sous le revêtement, des histoires, des notes, des sentiments,
Juste coincé, tous s’indiffèrent, destin brisé, disque ordinaire
Pourtant j’avais tant à donner, pour qui prend le temps d’écouter
Quand cette personne m’a découvert, quand elle a ôté la poussière
Quand elle a posé sur le sillon, le fil si fin de l’aiguillon ;
Quand les notes se sont envolées, quand tous mes airs furent libérés
Quand mes histoires ont échappé, je crois que je l’ai vue pleurer…
Je suis revenu sur l’étagère, je ne suis plus du tout amer,
Je crois que mes notes endormies, ont réveillé toute sa vie…

Vingt-cinq lettres sont l'alphabet, une clé qui ouvre les secrets
Elles sont de petites traces noires, qui racontent  beaucoup d'histoires
Vingt-cinq lettres résument la vie, elles auront de quoi vous ébahir
Le jour où vous prendrez le temps, d'ouvrir un recueil excitant. 
Un petit livre  laissé en coin, plein de contes écris avec soin
Mais restés dans l'indifférence, en attendant d'avoir  une chance
Un petit livre des pages blanches, dues aux larmes, papier pas étanche
Un petit livre, pages abîmées, comme déchirures des jours inquiets
Vingt-cinq lettres pour maitriser les mots, pour emporter rires et sanglots
Pour décrire, sentiments cachés, toutes les confidences sont gravées
Vingt-cinq lettres, ou demeurent prisonniers, des souvenirs nous ont hantés
Comme les rêves fanés, la grisaille, comme des illusions, des feux de paille…
Un petit livre voué au silence, qui garde toujours  l'espoir touchant
De pouvoir être choisi pour une danse, de voir quelqu’un, d’entendre un chant
Un petit livre, un style unique, un jour entend une musique
Dans laquelle peut se réfléchir, par laquelle se laisse accueillir

Notes et mots d’une nouvelle chanson, capables d'ouvrir l’horizon
Comme une aube de couleur vermeil, après la tempête, vient le soleil
Un nouveau chapitre qui s'ajoute, une nouvelle histoire qui s’écoute
Une nouvelle trace qui résonne, le doux son noir qui toujours sonne
Un chant plein de mélancolie, une rivière s’écoule la folie
Nous naviguons sur le bateau ivre, un nouveau rêve à poursuivre
Une aventure inoubliable, pour juste croire à l’incroyable
Une chaleur qui nous donne la force, une alliance qui toujours nous renforce
Mélodies écrites à quatre mains, écoutées dans les pays lointains
L’écho d’un chant qui vient de l’âme, qui charme les hommes et puis les femmes
Une musique qui brise le silence, l’harmonie de milliers de nuances
La joie d’entendre les bravos, après les notes de ce morceau…

Hong Kong Counterfeit - Cathode Mamma / Krisma Remix

Although Opera's music is often referred to as electro, their form of electronic music really owes more to the early synthesizer sounds of the 1970s and 1980's such as Italian horror movies composer Claudio Simonetti, Disco mentors Bobby O & Patrick Cowley and French composers Francis Lai, Michel Colombier & Michel Legrand. Other influences are psychedelic synth disco glam rock pioneers such as Goblin and Tangerine Dream. .. From their musical tastes and references, they created their own modern synth disco rock universe tainted with decadent and visual performances. The sensitive musicians use many of their studio instruments (like Korg synthesizers MS20, Polysix Roland SH09 and Vocoder) live on stage to make people dance with a very stylish pop electro music . .. Making their great debut last year at the amazing Londons Computer Blue Hanky Panky & Whatever parties (supported by Blitz Kids Princess Julia and Punx Soundcheck DJ sets), and excentrics Berlins Blood Fest & Plastique underground parties , Opera presented a brand new set  at Madame Jojos Electrogogo (supported by Mark SExpress Moore & Lene Lovich), La Scene Bastille in Paris with DJ Wild (Get Physical) and at the legendar Bus Palladium for a wild party with The dead sexy Inc... Opera started composing brand new material, collaborating with Hong Kong Counterfeit on 2 brand new tracks . One of these: The End Of The World is released on Metal Disco Clash/David Carretta's Label.
