Personnel: Forrest Fang (strings, percussion, electronics); Carl Weingarten (dobro, E-bow); Kit Watkins (piano). Audio Mixers: Alex Orepeza; Robert Rich. Recording information: Hangar, Richmond, CA (02/1994-12/1996); Linden, VA (02/1994-12/1996). Asian electronicist and old-world mystic musician Forrest Fang knows how to effortlessly link rich legends of the Orient to the new school of synthetics. He composes with a high mark of originality and acumen, keeping his work fresh and invigorating in an age of tepid "world music." THE BLIND MESSENGER trades in ancient instrument samples that blend with the brightest of digital accoutrements (the otherworldly pan-pipes and twilight-coated electronics of "Fragments from an Unbroken Chain") creating worlds of vast cultural complexity and vibrant sound color. The centerpiece of his captivating recording, however, lies in the 25-plus minute electronic magnum opus "The Alchemy of Angels." Fang floats his computerized algorithms through an atmospheric shimmer-haze of twinkling starlight, plangent tribal rites and deep space electronic intellect.
