Phenomenal. Mind blowing. Utterly and heart breakingly gorgeous. A deep, and rich look at traditional Chinese and Tibetan music with modern influences of electronic and other world flavours. Sa Ding Ding's voice is clear, strong and impactful in a way that only an ancient sounding voice can be. She touches many genres throughout the album, blending all into one harmonious and clairvoyant sound. She uses ancient and non-existent languages to fully express the pure beauty of sound, and sound alone, simply for sound's sake. An album that will truly make you rethink modern music and all of its emptiness. |

Excellent exotic mix
|
Sa Ding Ding's "Alive" album is an exotic treat. The obvious comparison to be made is with Dadawa's 1995 album, "Sister Drum". The two albums have striking similarities in their arrangements and the manner in which they integrate Tibetan themes. But there also are striking differences, particularly in Miss Sa's incorporation of dance beats, Mongolian influences, and pop elements. These differences make "Alive" the more accessible album. This is an album that grabs you right from the first track and never lets go. Each song is catchy; each arrangement is interesting. And it doesn't get old; I've listened to it over and over again with no waning of interest. (My only quibble with this album is the one song on which Miss Sa employs a "self-created language"; it just sounds like baby talk to my ears, but the melody is nice.) "Alive" is a brilliant album from an exciting new artist. I recommend it very, very highly. |

Incredible Artist!!
|
Wow! This is an incredible album! Sa Ding Ding manages to effortlessly blend Traditional/Folk music with Electronic beats and rhythms for an unforgettably ambient experience. She sings with a tonne of passion...disposable pop this is not. Not only is this top-notch, high-quality music, it's also really, really cool. There are no 'filler tracks' here. I am an instant fan. Love this album. Look up her website for a preview and then buy the CD!! You won't regret it! 10/10. |
