Some truly magical sounds here as Chinese vocal star Gong Linna, singing in Mandarin as well as English, joins the Bang on a Can All-Stars in music by Lao Luo working alongside the ensemble’s founding artistic directors Julia Wolfe, David Lang and Michael Gordon. So many styles of music collide here to glorious effect as East meets West in a multi-coloured, vividly textured stream of sound. Chinese myths, tales of gods and shamans provide the theme for a magnificently sung and played album.
