He Yong - Garbage Dump / 何勇 - 垃圾场 (Full Album)

Details

Description

Full album of the slightly obscure rocker He Yong/何勇

Released in 1994, and full of social commentary about China, it's surprisingly hard to find now. I looked online for a while, and ended up getting a Taiwanese hard copy from Taobao. Anyway, please enjoy. The style of some songs is very... unique, and takes a couple of plays to appreciate.

For further reading on this album, this article is quite interesting;

Edit: An extra article on the artist, and his influence on Chinese punk (and his mental health issues)

Please comment! Especially if you know any other great (and obscure) Mandarin rock artists with a bit of edge/soul.

I own no rights for this/this is not mine etc; but as it is banned in China (or at least blocked), I feel the artist would not disapprove of its use or any attempt to increase exposure.
