As far as I know there are two main Chinaloid groups, those being VSINGER and Quadimension. VSINGER was on the scene first, but, barring a few bursts of life, they appear to be mostly dormant right now. By contrast, Quadimension is actively supporting their new project and churning out albums and merchandise. Nothing against Tianyi and Ling, but I do prefer Quadimension's MEDIUM5 loids (Stardust and Chiyu specifically) so my recommendations are going to be tailored to that.

I'll agree with >>24722494 that you should absolutely try Fairytale. Far and away one of the best ones Quadimension has done. Vocadb page is here: https://vocadb.net/Al/26831 ; and the album can be found on MikuDB. It features Stardust, Chiyu, and Shian vocals.

I would also probably recommend giving Kaleido a try. I was honestly quite impressed at what a solid album it turned out to be. Vocadb page is here: https://vocadb.net/Al/27358 ; and again the album can be found on MikuDB. It features Stardust, Chiyu, and Haiyi vocals.

That doesn't really include anything with Cangqiong/Sky in it, but a note on her: she's got a deeper, more mature voice than all the others, and they've been experimenting with her tuning to figure out how to best utilize her. The YT channel has 3 versions of 绮物缘 posted if that's not enough of an indication at how that's going. I personally considered Fairyland to be a bit of a less impressive album, so let me link you a few YT links real quick and if you like what you hear, you can seek out Fairyland. You could also wait for Jungle Rules, of which I plan to upload my personal rips very soon.

And while you did only ask for 2 albums, and while I was open about preferring MEDIUM5, I'd be remiss not to at least recommend something with VSINGER loids in it; respect your roots and all that. Before they introduced all of their own new girls, Quadimension used VSINGER loids in their albums. So let me also recommend the Quadimension 6 compilation album. Vocadb page here: https://vocadb.net/Al/24574 ; featuring vocals of Stardust, Yan He, Luo Tianyi, Yuezheng Ling, and Hatsune Miku V4 (Chinese).

A footnote: while Zeno's Freesia is one of my personal favorites, it is a pure Stardust album, and unless you just really dig Zeno and Stardust, I might try the others first.

I hope that's simultaneously both enough and not too much.

I've no idea why they're going with SynthV. They still haven't even said what engine Haiyi runs on. Meanwhile Chiyu and Shian both have their banks listed for sale.

All I know is Chiyu is new hotness. Still getting used to Sky. I want to be a fan... want to.
