Thanks for the pointer to Pleh–great stuff, indeed!
Looks like ZhangJW has a bunch of albums on that archive and I haven’t had time to listen to them all but there is other great stuff there as well.
I’m going to reach out to ZhangJW to see about releasing some of this music and if I do, I’ll send you a free CD.
