The sound is unique, pungent and truly something that the new Asia can call its own. It''s high time someone gave it the exposure it so deserves."
The recording process itself spanned the globe from Singapore to Malaysia, India, China and USA; mixed at the world-class Hit Factory Studios in New York by Hotoda, and mastered at the Gateway Mastering Studios of the legendary Bob Ludwig.
