Spirited international rock anthem still mesmerizes.

""Ai De Chir Bang!" aka "Beams of Love" by american rock-beat artist JOE LINUS still mesmerizes listeners with its lush mandarin choruses, set against an obsessively thrashing electric guitar, colliding with a pizzacato viola-cello duet. Since its release date in 1997, this undergound release is still a subject of controversy and conversation: --Did Joe Linus' release pre-date established star David Bowie's glam efforts in the bilingual mandarin world?? Hard to say for sure!! "Ai De Chir Bang" is recommended, definitely enjoyable and a "must have" for collectors of the California poet."
