Q. What do you get when you play new age music backwards?
A. New age music.

Generally, I’m not a fan of new age music, but then I’m not a fan of labels or of putting artists in pigeonholes either. Recently I picked up Eastern Energy by 12 Girls Band. Aside from the fact that the group is a dozen good looking young women (I am a guy, after all), I really like their mix of traditional and contemporary music played on traditional Chinese instruments.
