Blue China

Editorial Reviews

(Chamberlain, New City)
"The raw whirlwind energy that makes SLR such a force is equally present when Rundstrom does his own thing." (Chamberlain, New City (Chicago))

Product Description
A sprawling suite, Kirk Rundstrom' new solo record features plenty of his trademark deft acoustic picking, twisted songwriter's vision, and bruising hardrock power. It's a dark, swirling, demented work-- think "Aftermath" with an alt-country bent.

5 out of 5 stars Successful crossing over from East to West.......2007-07-06

Nowadays many classical musicians move to 'cross-overs' between Western classics to exotic works, and Chinese musicians and composers pioneer in cross-overs from Chinese music to Western.
Alas, not all attempts are successful. Either there has not been enough nurturing in the Chinese repertoire, or the western playing style has not yet been fully developed.
Ms. Yang is a young classical guitarist. Gathering from what she said in her own introduction to this disc, she is a musician with a great ambition. It is true that the classical guitar may not have a substantial repertoire as other western instruments like the violin and piano. Hence drawing materials from other culture in a guitarist's repertoire is both a necessity and an endeavour.
A guitarist from Beijing, Ms. Yang is familiar with classical Chinese instruments like the gu qin, the zheng and the pipa. These ancient Chinese instruments are like the guitar- all are played by plucking strings set on wooden surfaces. So as Ms Yang herself noted - the guitar originated from the Middle East, a 'cross-over' area of Eastern and Western culture.
In many of the modern works recorded in this disc, Ms Yang played the guitar to the effect of those ancient Chinese instruments, and this is quite stunning. Her familiarity with the Eastern musical style is fully demonstrated, adding the requisite flavour of authenticity to her interpretation. There are a number of great compositions of the gu qing, the zheng as well as the pipa, and I truly look forward to Ms Yang's transcriptions of those to the guitar in due course.
A highly recommended recording for guitar players, guitar lovers and Chinese music fans alike.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best solo guitar albums I have ever heard.......2006-10-06

One of the most original CDs I've ever heard. This CD is full of incredible music. Yang XueFei plays with sensitivity, creativity and passion.
When I played this CD for my guitar teacher, he commented that it was rare for him not to have heard at least one piece on any particular classical guitar CD, yet all these pieces were new to him. Carlo Domeniconi (who wrote the masterpiece "Koyunbaba") has composed an outstanding suite based on the I Ching. The 3 pieces by Stephen Goss, which are based on Asian films, are themselves cinematic: "The Blue Kite" is a work of minimalist beauty. There are many other talented composers lending their gifts to this CD. Most of the selections are either composed for Yang Xuefei or are arrangements by her. All are inspired by Chinese culture and music. My favorite piece is "Long Outstretched Pier with its Shadow" (by Dietmar Ungerrank); it is elegantly written and the execution is sensual and rich.
Yang XueFei's technical agility, especially the right hand, (as in "Yi Dance") goes beyond that of her contemporaries. As impressive as this is, the passion she imbues into each work is what connects her to the songs and ultimately to the audience. Technique is there to help her express what is inside of her. It is as if the guitar is her lover. This just isn't a great guitar album; it is a great album period. Its emotional complexity deepens with each listening. Buy it!
I've also purchased "Romance de Amor" which is extremely good as well (listen to her version of "Requerdos de la Alhambra" as compared to one of her heroes, John Williams on "The Guitarist"), but "Si Ji" is totally unique. Don't miss it.
As an aside, If you do end up buying and enjoying this CD, you might listen to Lily Afshar. The influence of her Persian heritage is similar in effect to "Si Ji" by Yang XueFei. Both artists have breathed life into the modern repertoire of guitar music.

5 out of 5 stars Virtuoso playing and an unusual repetoire.......2005-10-26

I am a classical guitar student, and an over-the-top consumer. So I have a lot (many dozens) of classical guitar CDs. They are for the most part quite good, but they tend to blend. I might be able to distinguish Tennant's Rodrigo or Barrueco's Scarlatti, but too many guitarists play an awful lot of the same repetoire, and they play it quite similarly.

This CD is quite different. The pieces are all Asian in flavor and by composers I had never heard of. And they are quite beautiful. Ms. Yang appears to be quite young, so this could be the start of a long and interesting career. But at least one of the pieces was written for her, so she has already apparently developed a solid reputation.

5 out of 5 stars Arguably "The Best" English "Merry Widow ".......2006-09-12

This is the "Merry Widow" with English translation by Christopher Hassel sung by June Bronhill. I loved this rendition ever since I first heard it in about 1960. What's to love? First the translation is the best I've heard. The language doesn't sound "stilted" as some others. And, you can understand almost every word sung. Plus, the famous song, "Vilja" has some wording that moves me every time I hear it: The soprano sings, "Love me and I'll DIE for you!" with the word "die" somewhat emphasized. I don't know, there's just something "powerful" about someone saying they'd "die" for love! AND, at the end of "Vilja" the chorus and soprano raise to a crescendo hitting a high note together. In many renditions the chorus is heard but not the soprano on the final high note. In THIS version, the soprano, June Bronhill, can be heard rising to the final high note with an incressing crescendo and fortissimo louder than the chorus and holding the final high note---which gives a very thrilling effect as she holds that final note, I assure you!

The "problem" is that this June Bronhill, Reid, and Hassel version is hard to find on CD. For example, this CD is made in Holland and "there is one left" so it says on Amazon. But, if you can find it, I think it would be very much worth a listen. Then, after hearing it, if you think there's a "better" Merry Widow, please let ME know! Thanks. Email:boland7214@aol.

      5 out of 5 stars original fusion of punk, jam, thrash, bluegrass,.......2005-09-16

      This is the most creative thing I've heard in a long time. Rundstom's songwriting ability, musicianship, and dark vocals are complemented by the lovely vocals of female vocalist myshkin. Instruments range from overdriven metal guitar to a "sitar-esque" banjo, to a washboard; all the while rundstrom's steady guitar picking stirs the pot. This is definatly not for the mainstream as the vocals are intentionally harsh in some places. But the vocals add to the power of each creative track. Favorites are "john farmer" (a three track piece that can be described as several explorations which come back to the major jam riff time and again), and "catch me I'm in hell", a solid-rocking and very creative piece.

      4 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2003-11-25

      This cd is way good. Rundstrom's lyrics are deep and thought provoking and like other works with split lip rayfield, the sound knows no genre. Nothing mainstream about it (which is exactly what i hoping for).

          Album Description

          Revelation: 78 The Judas Factor have done something that few bands are ever able to do: they discovered what differentiates art from noise. They have managed to create a record, Ballads in Blue China, that not only has the energy to move the listener but allows the listener to enter into the moods and emotions that created it. You don't just listen to this record; you experience it. This New York outfit features members of 108, Ressurection, and Threadbare. However, one listen to this LP will demonstrate that this band is not interested in reliving it's past. Musically you will find no overwhelming influence. The sound ranges from a driving aggressiveness to total dissonance to quiet and troubled. Lyrically, it is one of the most honest and thought provoking records to have ever been made. You won't be supplied with flags to wave or slogans to chant. However, what you do get is a record that sincerely captures the minds and hearts of those who created it. The Judas Factor takes us on a thirty-minute cathartic journey of darkness, torment, regret and beauty. Ballads in Blue China reveals an honesty and vulnerability that will surely leave a mark in the music scene for years to come.

          5 out of 5 stars A journey of emotion........2002-01-25

          The Judas Factor (Revelation Records) released this album some time ago, and I just barely had the opportunity to purchase it. I had heard of this band a year or so ago, and I took a gamble and bought this album. What can I say? Royal Flush.

          The album unfolds itself before you as it assaults everything within earshot. The second I heard the intro to the very first song (Beauty Mark), I thought to myself "This is going to be good."

          The CD has dominated my stereo these past few days, and will definately make the hours in school pass easier. It will be hard to sit still in my seat, because this album really moves you. I like every single track on this album, which is a rare thing for hardcore bands (in my opinion). Not even other hardcore favorites of mine, such as Indecision and Isis, have accomplished this.

          The structure of each song ranges from hardcore riffs with metal overtones and emotional solos to two soft tracks, one being acoustic (which I simply love). The CD is very honest, the lyrics being straight forward and full of truth.

          As stated in the official review, this takes you on a journey through human emotion. Regret, hatred, beauty, and love are just a few displayed in this masterpiece. I am already looking forward to obtaining Kiss Suicide, their 2nd release.

          Take a gamble like I did and experience the Judas Factor.

          4 out of 5 stars Innovative, sleek and energetic.......2004-04-16

          While each track has a different mix, with apparently an independent artist mixing each track -the music remains cohesive. Sleek and energetic sounds that could easily make you drive too fast or ski slopes you might not otherwise take on...
