Hold on, someone else uses Zither?

I need some of this Wu Fei,

Speaking of Chinese prog... this is German prog but it uses a Chinese Opera as a sample.  It's weird yet strangely awesome.

Mmmm.

Peking-Oper.

Yea, she's not prog, but she plays a Chinese Zither. She plays with Carla Kihlstedt and Fred Frith on the album I have.

The only asian opera sample I know if is Ground Zero's Consume Red,which I almost bought on sale from Squidco until I listened to part of it on Youtube and realized that they were going to play that sample for the whole damn album.

Oooooooh, now this could be an interesting an I'm about to delve into.  Can't wait!

There's some 14 year old girl on the television dressed in her school uniform doing Shakespeare (Romeo and Juliet) and she looks like a whore. LOL

And oooh this really is cool.  It follows on from the last album in that it has eastern themes. Big smile

Consume Red is pretty cool from what I remember but yes, they do use the same sample for 45 minutes. LOL

I'm referring to Peking-Oper by Duo Goebbels/Harsch.

It samples "Modern Revolutionary Peking-Opera Shachiapang"

The Duo Goebbels/Harsch track was sampled by Yoshihide Otomo for Ground Zero's album Revolutionary Pekinese Opera Ver.1.28

I don't think they sample an opera though... but I cannot remember.

You maybe thinking of the album I mentioned previously which I have yet to hear.

The Duo Goebbels/Harth (not Harsch, many apologies) is not in the least bit repetitive.

It's nice enough.  Nothing earth-shattering.  I'd listen to it again.  It's ambient in a way but not awful ambient.

Yeah, but that's the mediocre clarinetist from Cassiber! Actually, I don't know if he sucks, he may have just been having a bad day, although I remember listening to full songs from Beauty and the Beast before and I wasn't too thrilled. I thought I read somewhere that the sample was from an opera, but that might have been the other album. I understand why you would use samples as a source material and then completely recreate them, since that's easier than recording the material on your own. But why would you even bother if you're going to have a lot of the sample completely unmodified? I listened to the first 5 minutes of Consume Red on the internet and I wanted to kill myself.

Also, it f**king pisses me off when the promo material for an album describes it as a classic.

I was listening to Grobschnitt but now Rockpommel's Land is playing, and I gotta go change my music.  What should I listen to?
