Hong Kong Score
Wan Chai Records is a Hong Kong based label, specialized in rare Asian records and quality reissues. For their third release, after a few years of hard diggin and historical researches, they went deeper with 'Hong Kong Score', an introspection into the music of the Chinese's cinema industry. A selection of tracks from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan, specially produced for movies and illustrations. The result is a compilation of 12 totally unknown gems sung mostly in Mandarin and Cantonese, from real deep instrumentals, hip-hop breaks, Ethio style crazy drums, to heavy bass in the Alain Goraguer style. This is an amazing introduction to '60s and '70s Chinese music, an inspiration for beatmakers, a must have for novices or Asian vintage music lovers. TRACKS: 01.
