Andy Mackay , released onBronze Records in1978 .Andy Mackay was onceRoxy Music 's saxophonist, and some members of the group happen to play on this record. This opus is a "concept album" with references to the chinese culture. The cover (designed by Jane Mackay) figures a sort of post Cultural Revolution scene. And the sound of most of the numbers relates to what a western world audience could "know" about chinese music.Track listing
