Wow, these guys are great. I loved all the songs on their myspace, thanks for the intro. Can someone upload an album of theirs on here please?

Various Artists "An Anthology of Chinese Experimental Music 1992-2008"
Sub Rosa





A set as weighty as this takes time to sift through. Given the wide array of styles, from almost silent minimalism to full bore noise, some of the sifting may involve skipping, depending on your taste. Still, the 4 CD “An Anthology of Chinese Experimental Music 1992-2008” is packed with enough styles and daring-do that you’re sure to find some new music that suits you. There are a few “name” acts here, for those who are into experimental music, such a Goh Lee Kwang and Torturing Nurse. 48 artists in all are represented, from both urban and rural China, mainland, and the islands of Hong Kong, Taipei, and Singapore. While the political is only tacit, since this anthology covers roughly the period from the aftermath of Tienanmen Square through to the recent capitalist success story China has become, that is an interesting historical subtext for such a wide range of music that Chinese artists have only recently been able to perform freely.

From “A Dark Knife” by D!O!D!O!D! to “Wet” by Bai Tian, all sonic levels are explored. 36 tracks is a lot to absorb, but what stands out for me are the pieces by Sun Dawei, Eric Lin, Orphic Orchestra, Li Wen Tai and Illuminated 6.6.6.

Lots of scraping, grinding, droning going on, with echoes of Fluxus, LaMonte Young and John Cage. Clearly experimental music has made its way into mostly every corner of China, and maybe there is something in that music—rebellious? Individual? confrontational? --that appeals to the minds of those who have suffered repression? The beauty of experimental music is that it just IS—a personal, often improvised statement that has as many meanings as it does listeners. This Anthology of Chinese experimental music gives not a comprehensive take on the last 16 years, but barely scratches the surface. This set demands a lot from you, but offers a slew of new paths for your future listening tangents.
