edit- ^ Continuum Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World Part 2 John Shepherd, David Horn, Dave Laing - 2005 0826474365 " New Taiwanese music matured through the 1990s with the music of Baboo, Chu Iok-sin ('Pork Rind'), Lim Giong, and the New Formosa Band. These performers shared a desire to create a music that sounded like Taiwan. Consequently, the differences between Mandarin-language and Taiwanese-language popular music seemed to be dissolving in favor of music that shifted among languages, engaged in cross-linguistic puns or used a dialogic strategy."

Lin Hui-che, a pop producer and former leader of the early-nineties group Baboo, points to the essential contradiction between bands and the market."
