Chinese Room

I went Peninsula today and then gab around for awhile. Went in Gramophone and saw this album which interest me pretty much to buy, but did not because it is $50!!! Maybe some good hearted will buy me this as a present? Or if anyone knows where to download this illegally, i will expose the webmaster to the officials, yes. Below is a review by an Amazon customer.

This is a serious blending of Chinese traditional music and trip hop downtempo acid jazz. If you like both equally as much, you will appreciate this nicely blended mix of East & West. For mixologists and DJ's - If you want a few exotic tracks to drop into your mix for an audience that appreciates you stretching the boundaries - then this CD is for you.

There are a lot of dance CD that purports to be Chinese exotic but are afraid to venture too far - just dropping in a few gongs, a few pipa or a few zithers and some audio sounds of a martial arts movie over a thumpa-thumpa bed of bass lines ... if that's more your cup of ... er ... Lipton ... then this CD is not for you.

This is a serious mix of Chinese traditional music and trip hop ... but also know, it's not just some New Agey attempt at 'chill.' This is not just some quasi-Asian riffs dropped over a bed of drum machine bleeps ... but serious downtempo trip hop all mixed nicely with the traditional music of China.

Your path outside the safe begins with this CD ...
