(Noise Order Recordings) Back in 1995 Jason Kopec loaded up a backpack of recording equipment and headed to China to do field recordings of street and classical Chinese arrangements as well as sonic samplings of the places he visited. The resulting mixes on this CD range from relaxing melodic instrumental pieces to grating soundscapes. At times I was reminded of the music from the Akira Kurosawa movie Dreams. I would have liked it if the 14 tracks on this release
were titled or if more info was given in the liner notes concerning the music of China so listeners would be able to gain a better understanding and appreciation of what they were hearing. Overall, I preferred the minimalist tracks on this release minus any vocals.
