Cold Fairyland, a Shanghai based music group, is one of the most creative and skilled progressive rock bands in China. Their style is fusion of Eastern melodies and rhythms with Western symphonic rock.

Cold Fairyland music has influences from Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, early Genesis, Bjork, Wong Faye and Dou Wei.

CFL was established 2001 by Lin Di and bassist Su Yong. The name Cold Fairyland comes from Chinese translation of one of Haruki Murakami's books favored by Lin Di and reflects the sometimes dark tones of their music.

Composer/arranger/keyboardist and Pipa master Lin Di has been playing Pipa since she was 4 years old. Her arrangement skills are bringing out often very surprising elements from the mix of cello/pipa/keyboards/bass/drums and electric guitar. She is a graduate of Shanghai Music Conservatory.

CFL has released two self produced CDs Flying Over The City and Kingdom of Benevolent Strangers, as well as two albums on Wind Records in Taiwan. The Taiwan releases Ten Days in Magic Land and Bride in Legend are entirely (save for one song) composed/written by Lin Di.

Bride in Legend holds the highest production value of all their recordings to date. An epic tale of a young girls journey to understand her place in a strange and harsh land as she travels to an arranged marriage. It encompasses more of the traditional Chinese music spectrum on record than the heavier live versions.
