DAVID MINGYUE LIANG — Dialogue With The Ocean (GER LP$15)
This is one of those special albums that reaches down inside and lifts your spirits high, away from the frenetic swirl of today’s lifestyle. Subtitled “Chinesische Meditation Musik,” Liang combines ethnic Chinese percussion and winds with synthesizer in a way that’s totally unique. It reminds me of the musical magic that was Kitaro on his first couple of records. “Mood Dance,” “Land of Illusion” and “Winds of a Thousand Li” are a few titles that only hint at the delights contained within this record. DIALOGUE WITH THE OCEAN is simply wonderful music.
