PACIFICTION REVIEW:

The audio selections show KbN's knack for creating a multicultural hip hop groove within the framework of an indie-electronica project. The DVD that comes with this set is a documentary featuring live footage and interviews with the band, however it is mostly in Chinese. A seven minute music video is also included on the DVD.

Alternating between smooth RnB and more melodic indie pop with female vocals, this is a unique treasure among Taiwan's underground electro groups. KbN has been one of the favorites among Taipei's expat community.
