Review by Dumitru Razvan-George

Night Train Souvenir De Chine by Magic Smoking Monkey is an album that takes the listener on a journey through China, with a fusion of traditional Chinese music and modern electronic beats. The album is a perfect blend of East and West, with the band's unique sound creating a musical experience that is both captivating and invigorating.

The album begins with "Night Train," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. With its haunting melody and driving beat, it is an excellent introduction to the band's sound. "Souvenir De Chine," the title track, is a beautiful piece of music that combines traditional Chinese instruments such as the erhu and pipa with electronic beats and synths.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Shanghai Nights," which is a jazz-infused piece that captures the energy and excitement of the city, and "Forbidden City," which has a more contemplative and introspective tone. The album also features a number of guest musicians, including the renowned erhu player, Ma Xiaohui.
