I wasn't really sure how far I'd get in life before hearing the unification of ancient oriental music with electronica, but I suppose I have now found out. R-H's BLACKASIA VOLUME 1 is a mind-boggling trip through the future orient of the past. That might not make any sense to the clueless passer-by, but upon listening to this record, a greater understanding will be achieved. Furthermore, the album is danceable. The drum 'n' bass rhythm is there to keep your body moving, while the sound of crickets and running fountains balances one's inner spirit. If you're interested in expanding the "club" section of your CD case, this would be a great place to start. Oh, and don't worry: there's bongos, too. ~ Zac |
