Description/Reviews:
Inside the Cable Temple incorporates progressive rock, Chinese traditional folk, and jazz to create a very warm and inviting musical journey. Most of what you hear on this record is incredibly mellow and ethereal folk rock with the occasional increase in musical intensity in the form of groovy prog rock or smooth jazz. Much of it is the musical equivalent of peacefully floating by on a cloud although there are little surprises here and there that change the pace and scenery.

Country: China
Genre(s): Instrumental Post Rock, Progressive Rock
Format: digital
Release date: November 23, 2018
Tracklist
1.  Birds Contending | 争鸣 (43:27)

Line-up
Hoyliang: Electric Guqin, Xiao (Chinese Flute)
Littledream: Guitar
Roy: Bass
Seasean: Drums, Celesta

Description/Reviews
Across the entire record, Zhaoze constantly bounces back and forth between progressive and post-rock that are done to gorgeous effect. Then layer in a true multitude of traditional Chinese instruments on top of all that, which are performed beautifully as well, and “Birds Contending” is made so much more detailed as the entirety of the record has a completely different and unique feel as we’re guided through the very forest that this record was actually recorded in.
