"I saw this CD at a music store in my local mall. I thought that perhaps its incredibly low price was simply because of the fact that it was Chinese, so I bought it. When I listened to it, I practically passed out from an overexposure to cheezy elevator music! I would honestly only reccomend this CD if you are an Asian restaurant owner who is desperately in need of some background music. NOT RECCOMENDED FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES!"
Muzak, agreed...

"The melodies are pretty enough, but they are played on modern synthesizers with electric guitars in the background. If you want a CD of traditional-sounding chinese music, *don't* buy this one. If you don't care (the music *is* nice), go for it. I wanted a traditional sound, though, so am very disappointed with this CD."

"Hoping to get a compilation of traditional Chinese music, I ordered this CD. The content amounts to over an hour playing time of the kind of easy-listening music that is played in some Chinese restaurants. Pleasant, easy on the ears, but by no means "traditional" Chinese music. Think of it as Asian Muzak."
Excellent Chinese music - mostly instrumental
