Does anyone recognize what music this is - artist and CD?

it's track 7, "Earth Drums" according to the back of the CD case.

possibly Carol is reading the Chinese writing and in mandarin it is 'dust drums'. in English it is 'Earth Drums' as listed.

I've used this track for years since a visit from friends from HK who gifted me this CD. it does rock and can do damage and even create issues in your room by causing structure to loosen. so be careful.....your system might hold together but your walls might not. and it will stress everything.

on the MM7's it easily gets too much to stay in the room.

Yup, the infamous Track 7. This loosened two recessed lighting fixtures in my room.

Thanks for the clarification, Mike.

I have the previous album "Sister Drum" from the duo Dadawa and He Xun-tian. The title track from that album can have similar effects on the surroundings.

Haha!! I demo'ed that track at Alexis park, and dust started raining down from the ceiling :)

It's a popular torture track in Asia.

Jack, I remember doing a shoot-out at JR's store between the big Dynaudio and the big Genesis speakers. It must have bust a couple of ear drums. I left the room, and then had to walk out the store and close the door behind me.

At the home of one of JR's clients, Jadis, Mullard88, Nephilim (keith) and I had to leave the room too. Those PAS (Philippine Audio Society) guys play LOUD. LOL.

Yes Jack. After prolonged listening to that track, it made me hungry (maybe from stress). :D Good thing the host prepared some local noodles (pansit) in the dining room. :D

And that was the time I found out that the professional acoustician Mike P. was the same DJ Mike P. of 99.5RT FM. He was my idol in those days, as far as DJ vocals is concerned, pretty much like Casey Kasem. :D

Sorry for the OT.

Which is the best version of Paramita? CD, XRCD, or vinyl?

I love Dadawa "Sister Drum". Always fun to play it and watch jaws drop.

Yeah... I was telling my brother Gary about it on the way home saying... well it was <insert mandarin pronunciation> - "dirt" - "dust" - "ground" and he responds... "Earth!" :D

Many years ago, I attended a conference sponsored by an Asian-American organization in San Jose, CA and the organizers had a local Taiko (Kodo) Drum ensemble for entertainment after the evening banquet. We were in a very large ballroom in one of the hotels. I was blown out of the room by the volume of the deep bass drums. Couldn't stay anywhere near the ballroom. Not sure whether there was any structural damage to the hotel!
