Salon Oriental: Oriental Downtempo Escapade (2002)

Buy from Amazon.com

It seems that this week is my week of ethnic music. "Salon Oriental: Oriental Downtempo Escapade" is ethnic music with asian bias. I might say, this is a hybrid of western electronic music an asian tunes. The hybrid is skilful enough: an asian part sounds very sincerely, and electronica appears only as gilding, which decorates the background. The result is simply outstanding, without any excesses. It's like I'm at 25th floor of Long Beach Garden again, drinking my beer and thoughtfully looking at the ocean.
