An Anthology of Chinese Experimental Music 1992 – 2008. For the first time this anthology collects together experimental and electronic music by artists from within the Chinese area of influence - China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia. It’s a musical journey through what’s currently happening in the underground music scene in these countries as well as a look at the recent past and some its key pioneers.
