The popular TV series Globe Trekker--a travel show dedicated to exploring exotic locales around the world--has its own music, which, as one might expect, is heavily influenced by the indigenous music of the program's specific destinations. GLOBE TREKKER: ASIAN JOURNEYS focuses in on the musical heritage of Asia, referencing the cultures of China, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Tibet, among others.

Yet the Globe Trekker soundtrack is not composed of straight field recordings. Instead, the native folk and classical music of these countries is sampled and fused with Western electronica. The results fall firmly in line with a lot of ethnic fusion music and club and DJ mixes that incorporate Asian motifs. Since the primary audience for Globe Trekker is young, adventurous, and globally conscious, this particular mix seems appropriate, making ASIAN JOURNEYS hip, contemporary, and familiar, even as it enfolds the sounds of age-old, and possibly unfamiliar, cultures.
