Click on the Play Music link at GMtee home page to treat your ears to the mystical sounds of Asian dub by Celestial. Celestial has released four albums since 1992, the latest of which is "Electric Road".
Celestial is a Hong Kong based collective led by our friend Pete. He describes the music as "a laid-back mix of Asian sounds over an empyreal electronic dubscape".
Here's what the music press has to say:
Asia's "answer to Massive Attack".
"...a kind of aural Shangri-La."
"...like taking a mini-vacation to faraway and exotic destinations, and having samples of every great song rolled into one...Irish...Thai...Nepalese with reggae B-side dub rhythms and blended with sitars, erhus and even harmonicas! If you're a fan of dub then you'll love Celestial..."
Well, we love Celestial so much that we designed a special edition T-shirt to celebrate the release of their third album, Hong Kong Dub Station.
