World Fusion by Noel Quinlan.

Noel Quinlan developed the unique sound of his incredible MIDDLE KINGDOM CD series to bridge the gap between East and West. The recordings combine fine Oriental musicians with the Western sensibilities of sound and harmony, and provide a new and intriguing look into different times and culture.

Noel Quinlan is an Australian composer who has lived for many years in the Orient, particularly in Hong Kong and China. He started Big Sky in the early 90s to help fill the gap between Eastern and Western music, and was one of the first composers to explore the World Fusion genre. His MIDDLE KINGDOM series of recordings remain a unique evergreen which has sold over 1,000,000 copies in Asia, and his music is heard world-wide in movies, documentaries, and TV series such as Yan Can Cook. He now divides his time between Australia and Hong Kong while he works on new projects and improving his golf game.
