Product Description


This collection pulls together soundtrack selections from many of the films that helped bring the Chinese movie industry to mainstream audiences worldwide (instead of just to action-hungry, college-aged males in the West). And like the range that is represented here--from the swashbuckling martial-arts intricacy of the period film Once Upon A Time In China to the live-action horror magna of The Wicked City--the music is an amalgam of styles and influences. The compilation begins with Once Upon A Time In China, in which choral arrangements and Eastern strings and horns are plunked down into an unforgiving, expansive landscape usually reserved for Ennio Morricone. This environment is quickly turned into an homage to 1980s synth cheese as Jackie Chan's Supercop: Police Story III muscles in, recalling the best and worst in scores to films like Beverly Hills Cop and countless low-budget erotic thrillers. However, most of the album embodies a more elegant nature, as heard in the thoughtful yet anxious solo piano pieces from Peach Blossom Land and The New China Woman. Although the album doesn't exhibit a unified vision or flow, it does bring the many emerging voices of Chinese film to an expanding and receptive foreign market.
