Imaginary Traveler is only one of the many pleasures found in this astonishing CD that covers a decade of musical development by Turkish composer and virtuoso, Omar Faruk Tekbilek. Opening with a very untraditional call to prayer, Faruk mixes a variety of Middle Eastern, Western jazz, and experimental, and popular styles into a personal, mystical statement. A reminder that the best things in life aren't things |

Music of a Thousand Springs, Part 3 from TERRY RILEY/IN C, is David Mingyue Liang's 1986 composition, performed by The Shanghai Film Orchestra. This work features a traditional Chinese orchestra with cello, bass, oboe, timpani and a replica of a 2500-year-old set of bells unearthed in the tomb of the Marquis of Shui. Liang uses a traditional Chinese compositional technique called "layered flowers"---a technique reminiscent of the early minimalist works of Riley and Philip Glass |

| Review |
Time from a new CD by Stomu Yamashita, a popular avant-garde percussionist and composer. In the 1970s, he joined the progressive rock scene in Europe and later turned to electronic music for inspiration. All of these influences are mixed with traditional or natural sounds, often represented by the chirping of birds or insects and gurgling water combined with synthesizer, Japanese temple bells and Buddhist chant |
