Default Good Chinese Music?

I've always been of the opinion that Chinese popular music was... well, sort of bland. But recently, I found a mainland electronica band, 卡奇社, that's actually pretty good. They're pretty good at blending genres and a few of their songs actually have a very Chinese quality to them.

A few others I've found that were also pretty good are 曹芳, from the mainland, and 陳綺真, from Taiwan.

Anyone have any other recommendations?

What exactly would you like to be romanized?
王菲-扫兴(掃興) sao.xing which can be translated as killjoy

I don't listen to a lot of Chinese popular music, but I'd recommend a look at an album called Ping-heng (平衡/balance) by Aadia (阿弟仔). It's the most interesting fusion traditional Chinese and metal/rock that I have encountered.

Oops, posted in the wrong thread...
Since I can't delete this, I spent a little time finding something interesting, electronic and Chinese. A bit odd, perhaps, but I am completely unfamiliar with Chinese contemporary music. I actually like an occasional arty thing.

DrIdiot, perhaps you would like 這位太太 (Mrs. This). Their style changes a bit from song to song so I'd check out a few different ones to get an idea, but on occasion they and 卡奇社 are not too dissimilar.

Or maybe 魏如萱 (Wei Ru Xuan)
魏如萱-問號


But seriously, Faye Wong cannot be stressed enough. She's released an absurd amount of material, ranging from enjoyable to orgasmic. No one really quite compares. <3

Damn the fox, you are on a roll! That's the first time in months that I found a list of musicians I didn't know that all sound like I could get into
