'You love Chinese food' was given a worldwide release through the Australian label Extreme home to such artists as Muslimgauze, Merzbow, Paul Schütze and many more #4th World explorers.
'You love Chinese food' is full of ambient soundscapes. Casual rhythms leave huge holes which offer refuge to voices, violins, guitar mutations blended with space dub and fractured trip beats as well as spoken-word stories. A masterly example of compositon which is linear, evocative and moving in every sense. With this album Pablo's Eye had set their own standard.
