Putumayo World Music Asian Underground Mix CollectionAsian Lounge is a Putumayo World Music sampler of cross-cultural fusions and beats inspired by the musical traditions of Asia. It features along with 10 additional artists.' Ethnomusicologists and musical explorers have long been fascinated by the sounds of Indonesian gamelan, Indian classical music, Japanese folk, and other intriguing styles of Asian music.' 'In the past 10 years, DJs and electronica artists around the world have been remixing Indian and East Asian songs to create trendy music with an exotic, otherworldly flavor. In London, an 'Asian Underground' movement began among young musicians in the Indian and Pakistani immigrant community. Other tracks on Asian Lounge were produced by DJs and musicians in the US, Germany, Japan, Indonesia and India, where Asian-Western fusions have continued to grow in exciting new directions.'

'Formed in the late 1970s, Ancient Future coined the term 'world fusion music' to describe its use of Indian, African, Balinese, and other musical traditions within a contemporary framework. The group's founder, guitarist Matthew Montfort, became fascinated by North Indian classical music during his college years, prompting him to travel to Java, Bali, China, and elsewhere in Asia to study the intricacies of centuries-old musical traditions.' 'Ja Nam' is a reggae version of the Vietnamese folk standard 'Ly Chim Quyen' (Song of the Nightingale). The song features the musician Bui Huu Nhut playing the dan bau, a unique instrument of Vietnamese origin in which a flexible rod attached to a resonating gourd is bent to change the pitch of a single string. Montfort describes it as the Vietnamese equivalent of an electric guitar's pitch-bending whammy bar.' – Putumayo World Music, liner notes, Asian Lounge (PUT 244-2).Ancient Future's contribution to this CD features 100% organic loop-free rhythm tracks recorded live.
