Ben S Her chord changes are exactly what I was looking for. THIS is the kind of stuff that makes me love music! Wonderful instrumentation and arrangements, beautiful melodies, and surprisingly really good production! Make an album ASAP. Favorite track: Friend.

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Today, user "Some guy", who owns a very interesting collection, bought a couple of albums, including some exquisite chamber music items. Since I couldn't decide which one to purchase first, I grabbed all of the three candidates at once. This little EP, created by Mingjia Chen (pronounced Ming-yee-yah) in company with her "Tortoise Orchestra", clocks in just 14 minutes, but those 14 minutes are so stunning that they immediately leave a lasting expression. Favorite track: Floatwalking.

i, with eyes opened wide trapped inside a paradox a box i can’t break through seeing there is you someone i don’t know at all but still i love because there’s none else you can do nothing you can run away from that won’t come back to you gone, faces looking long now that summer’s swept you up and took off with the dawn did you leave your note in the barren trees and smell of apples in decay? when the sun burns grey and the hour hand stops its spinning will you come back to stay? your arms are made of sand if the truth is ever-changing then i won’t pretend i want to be your friend and drift away like paper sailboats off into a storm with only arms to keep us warm i want to be your friend i want to be your friend
