' As a bonus, Aryue also made a continuous Dj mix of his album, which is only available to those who purchase the complete album release. Hanasi Hu: Taking us on an overwhelming journey into sound, "Hanasi Hu" starts on an epic note. Ambient rivers of sound are dotted with pulsating notes that play the main lead throughout the introductory verse, and into the bridge, all to an addicting progressive breaks beat. Zhangjiajie: We roll further onward, carrying the progressive breakbeat sound with us as we head into the world of "Zhangjiajie". A candid uplifter with a surprisingly effective combination of soothing plucks and somewhat melancholy melodies, that will cure all who hear it of their mortal worries. Xianggelila: Gentle chimes brush in over the announcing cymbal roll like a cold fog rolling in with the fading dusk. "Xianggelila" is one of those delightful tunes that soothes the savage spirit with its percussive gallop and structure of properly arranged tracks. Tangla: "Tangla" is a truely melodic uplifting progressive tune that tugs the heart strings of even the coldest hearted warriors. One listen and the victim is sure to exhibit symptoms of: a desire to dance, to resolve past grievances, to make friendly with their neighbor, ask that special someone out, or simply relish in the beauty that is life. Simple, and effective, this wonderous track heals all. Huangshan: Out of the light, and into the darkness, for the bright light that 'Tangla', shines, casts a long and equal shadow that is "Huangshan". Though not as dark as others, the pumping bassline certainly has some threatening essence to it, when combined with the ripping main lead and intense build ups. Taishan: This seemingly inspired track sounds like something out of the video gaming days of yesteryear. "Taishan" blasts onto the scene with a presence as loud and noticeable as its kick drum and bassline. Thumping away into the abyss, this one is sure to inspire and ignite the fire within listeners. Ruan: Light and fluffy, and hard and dense. "Ruan" takes many forms aurally, but perhaps most noticeable is the manner in which it executes such a diverse palate of dark and light, with authenthic sounds of the Guzheng, a traditional Chinese string instrument. Orchestrated wonderfully by Aryue, this composition is a surefire journey of sounds that mustn't be missed. Changcheng: "Changcheng" hooks the attention with its nearly tribal-esque theme; a beautifully crafted progressive tune with all the elements you might enjoy thanks to the genius of Aryue. "Changcheng" is sure to transport you to another world; a certified happy and divine place of solace for the mind, body, and soul, to replenish its worldly stores. Jiuzhaiguo: Saw waves rip through the atmosphere after a celestial intro, and open the gates to the luster of light that takes the form of the sounds you hear. Absolutely savage basslines create an incredibly funky tune that will surely keep the dance floor burning until the sunrise. One of those that must be heard, to be understood. Shanghai Nights: Rumbling over the desert sands like a great galloping steed the bassline rolls on, as faint percussion of the tribal variety echoes through space creating an almost urgent sensation. "Shanghai Nights" suppresses all of this anxiety with a satisfying selection of synths and pads all firing off in proper order to create a fantastic listening experience. We hope you enjoy this aural journey from the land of the dragon that is China.
