Stone Bell’, in as many years, and shows why his music is a must have in anyone’s collection.

Similar to last year’s release, ‘Asian Variation‘, ‘Stone Bell‘ picks up where it left off, and continues Moshang’s musical time warp of sounds, instruments and vibe as he blends traditional Asians instruments and sounds with today’s electronic energy, and Latin and jazz influences in just the right amounts to serve up an aural gem.

Starting off with ‘When You Come’, a chillicious blend of Asian beats flavoured with Latin tinged guitar and topped of with the beautiful vocal work of Portugals Nego Elias, the pace shifts in ‘Casting Off’, as frantic electronic pulses are layered on top of each other driven by a throbbing bass.

‘Faraway Places’, offers up a short but heavy dose of Japanese shamisen that infuses the aural senses with traditional sounds and the energy of today’s music, that makes you wish it would last a little longer.

‘Undecided’, marks a decided downward shift in gears and a wonderful mix of rhythms that send there vibe through the body making it impossible to not move to the groove laid down

‘Invocation’ a multicultural smorgasbord mixing jazzy/Latin guitar chords with electronic chill, before closing out with ‘Waterless Well’ closes the EP out with jazz influenced horns lazily weaving around an easy does it rhythm and an excellent use of Buddhist chants that all come together to create an audio meditation that will leave you feeling relaxed and mellow.

While each track stands alone together they form an audio gem that is well worth buying, and makes MoShang an artist to keep an ear out for.
