Reasonfreaks On "The Legend Of China"
This review was originally published in January 2004 by Reasonfreaks.com.
Discovery became legendary when they released this collection onto the market in 1999. It caused a huge stir, and with good reason too. The quality of the recordings, and the sheer amount of samples in this library made it a hard one to ignore for people looking for a range of authentic sounding Chinese flavors. Discovery deserves all of the praise that was heaped in wads upon it when this collection was first released. When I got this, there was so much good usable stuff that i hardly new where to start.
Admittedly, in my opinion, this sample pack seems more suited to movie and theatre scores, but anyone looking for traditional sounds would find it irreplaceable. Never have i heard such a fantastic slice of life from one culture. Except maybe the Alma Flamenco Release but even that didn’t have the diversity that this does. Butch give this a well deserved RF award. Well done discovery.
