Embryo - Ni Hau 1996,Krautrock, Fusion
EMBRYO always seemed to be interested in adding that ethnic vibe to their music and eventually their music would become full on World Music. We're talking Indian, African and Oriental mostly and the latter is on display here on this 1996 release. Up to 20 musicians are featured here as we get 12 tracks over 72 plus minutes. Christian Burchard and Roman Bunka are listed here but almost all of the names I don't recognize. Some call this Chinese Fusion and the band had been working with Chinese musicians for 6 years at this point. Man so many strange sounding instruments here but this is highly melodic.
