"Although this is only three tracks in duration this effort by one of the founders of the experimental group Can packs a punch. Track number one "Boat-Woman-Song" features the singing of two unidentified traditional Vietnamese singers and is 17 minutes in length. The second song, title track "Cana..."  [+]  Reply
