Fun Exotica
One of my most pleasant surprises on eMusic. "I'm In The Mood For Love" is one of my faves. Track #5 (part of the "Indecipherable" Suite) is also great.

Sweet
Some people like me dig the musical style here described by other reviewers. I just don't think this has anything to with teens from China and Malaysia. Someone with a sense of humor came up with the album title and cover. Second, teens in those countries just don't listen to this kind of music.

If you like Tipsy, Messerchups... you'll enjoy this album - it's probably one of the best ez listening stuff on Emusic. A great soundtrack for a 70's B-movie, fab!
An Asian version of the Shadows!
This is hilarious! It sounds like old karaoke backing tracks to me.
Nice!
I feel like I should be watching a Tarantino movie when I listen to this album. I love it.
The cover picture says it all.
Remember when kids in the US and UK dressed like that? Well, here's the music they were listening to - with very few lyrics, and as interpreted by artists such as "Unknown" and "Man Chau Po Orchestra". Groovy. The tracks titled "Indecipherable" used chinese (or other) characters and e-music failed to display them or convert them. The song isn't actually called "Indecipherable". But that's a shame. I found "The Stylers" by Chella-La to be a bit addictive. But most of the songs are predictably forgettable.
INDECIPHERABLE
Wild weird wacky retro... you gotta love an album that has 5 songs titled INDECIPHERABLE!!
Asia ???
The contents of the album Teen Dance Music From China and Malaysia were discovered in a brown paper bag in the dusty corner of a seldom-visited thrift store. Dozens of records, dating from the early sixties to the mid seventies, documenting the various psychedelic and go-go sounds that had the youth of the Far East convulsing on the dance floor, anonymously donated. What would Chairman Mao say? < (Addison MacDonald from dustedmagazine.com) anyway ... i like the characterisation of the music style ... i mean, nothing from asia ever sounded lesser from asia than this collection ... but it's a graet compilation and i really would love to drink at that party in china or where-ever
Now Music For Now People!
This is cutting edge if there ever was... enjoy!
