It may be the first album in Taiwan recorded cheaply in a live performance setting to receive widespread critical acclaim.

對台灣本土意識的反思促使了水晶唱片去探索、紀錄能夠深刻反應臺灣本土全貌的聲響，收集了具有民間特色民俗音樂的《來自台灣底層的聲音》即為一例。 Reflection on Taiwan's local identity drove Crystal Records to explore and document sounds that authentically captured Taiwan's grassroots culture. Sounds from the Depths of Taiwan — a collection of folk and indigenous music — was one such document.
