Labor Exchange Band
The Night March of the Chrysanthemums (Trees Music and Art, Taiwan)

Great new folk band from Taiwan blends Chinese traditional folk instruments with western folk-rock influences in a style like nothing else to come from the country before. Excellent reviews from Folk Roots, and an interview with the band in the July 2002 issue. Beautifully packaged with a colorful book of photos and lyrics, with full translations in an English-language insert.

| "There is a simple beauty to all of this, a constrained, elegant tension in the music that the average western listener would not associate with political protest but that may be equally effective in focusing a nation's attention on its own social ills." -CF, Dirty Linen |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
