The Shanghai Restoration Project draws its creative inspiration from the old 1930s Shanghai jazz bands, an early combination of East and West thats become an international legend. Today Shanghai is a modern day chessboard of similar tensions and dichotomies, among them, exotic versus familiar, lore versus technology, and overriding it all, traditional Chinese philosophy versus contemporary life. The Shanghai Restoration Project captures and explores these tensions by introducing Eastern instruments and rhythms to Western sounds such as hip-hop, jazz, and pop. It’s a sexy, beat-heavy, and lyrical album, a fusion of antonyms into gritty, exotic art.
Born Chinese-American, producer Dave Liang aims to revive the exotic blend of the original Shanghai Jazz bands in a modern context: Like the rest of the world, China is changing so much, but its doing so on an entirely different level from the rest of us. Its time to explore that idea musically.
Liangs music has been featured in films such as Red Doors (Winner TriBeCa Film Festival 05), on programs such as KCRWs Morning Becomes Eclectic, in clubs and lounges the world over. He has produced for artists on Bad Boy, Motown, and Universal Records. In 2005, he signed a licensing deal with Thievery Corporations label ESL Music.

The music has nothing to do with Shanghai or China though it is under a nice poetic cover. Miss Shanghai?? Pfff....-_-

I honestly don't think that this band have a bad song, they're amazing. Then again, I haven't been able to get my hands on Zodiac, so I can't comment on that.

I heard about them last year and was astonished when I heard Babylon of the Orient. After going a year without being able to find any of their work, I came across two albums and I had to pick them up. I'm glad I did because I really enjoy every single song.
