The third in the series of albums
from Celestial once again invokes a pan-Asian dubscape of hypnotic
rhythms and deep space textures. Another tectonic phase shift
from Celestial merges the sounds of 70's Jamaican b-sides with
top Asian instrumentalists and digital tech-know-how. Rhythms
and sounds from dub plates, collide with melodies and textures
through zen temple gates... Trip the light dubtastic in the
dancehall of the mind...
Musicians featured again include
Hong Kong's number one Erhu Player, Hsin Hsiao Hung; the Musical
Ambassadors of Nepal, trio "Sur Sudha"; Hong Kong's
very own Shakuhachi Master, Sunny Yeung; Asia's jazz guitar
genius, Eugene Pao and flitting between China and France, Dave
Packer on Harmonica. Multi-talented vocalist Angelita Li offers
vocals in English and Portuguese, though she's just as much
at home singing in Cantonese or Mandarin. And Drum's Eddie Chung
supplies some Augustus Pablo style Melodica...
