I agree with Alex: an awesome review. You’ve sold me! I’m about to go download the latest album now.

Thanks Alex! You can ask around at DVD/CD stores, Hanggai isn’t really mainstream but you Kunmingren do have a rep for being pretty hip to new sounds. I do know for a fact you can get both of Hanggai’s albums on the web, see emusic, iTunes, or Amazon. FYI Hanggai (Mongolian) is the first album, more tunes but the production is pretty raw. Introducing Hanggai is the newer album, it’s a little more highly produced, and apparently they guys recorded the “Drinking Song” after a wild pub crawl.

Happy listening!
