Whenever I listen to it, I would enjoy it as much as I did the 7-Volume Anthology Series. Not all the tracks I like on this set, but I would NOT be as critical as the 1-star reviewer (Not referring to someone at Discogs, in case you're wondering). A very good majority of the selections I like, as well as a few non-electronic works that are featured here. That's why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

One of the parts I find unforgettable: CD 2, Track 7: the way how it starts with "BAD!". :-D

On CD 1, Track 5, I went to the Sub Rosa website, highlight the Chinese characters on the track title, and "Googled" that. The translation turned out to be "Chih-Feng Lin".

A few artists were also featured in the Anthology Series:

An Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music / Fourth A-Chronology 1937-2005 ---> "Sea-Food" by Wang Changcun

An Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music / Fifth A-Chronology 1920-2007 ---> Li Chin Sung (Dickson Dee orPNF): "Shame" AND Dajuin Yao: "Satisfaction Of Oscillation"

An Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music / Sixth A-Chronology 1957-2010 ---> "Yes or No" by Torturing Nurse.

An Anthology Of Noise And Electronic Music / Seventh And Last A-Chronology 1930-2012 ---> "Decomposition" by Dennis Wong and Sin:Ned.

An anthology of experimental music from China, released by a good Belgian label Sub Rosa. The anthology is large, it takes four discs - from noise and specific music to folk and folk and pseudo-ethnic studies.
