Tae-Baek-San-Maekalbum is a personal favorite of Kim Soo Chul. He has often said that this album comes the closest to the image of what he wanted to accomplish when he set about composing it. Having won "Best Musical Achievement" at the 33rd annual Tae-Jong movie awards and "Best Movie Music"at the 16th Chung-Young Awards, there were many music critics that must have felt the same way! This album also features another innovation in Korean music. Kim uses the Tae-pyung-so and Pee-Ree as the focal point of the theme and for the first time in Korean music history, combines orchestral backup to the Korean instrumental solos. In other passages Kim interlaces Korean and Western percussion as well as using a synthesizer to capture the majesty of nature, the chaos of battle, and the tragedy of human conflict.
