Stoned Asia Music as a concept is five years old, and having thus far released extremely collectable compilations and great sounds from around the globe the time has finally come to release exclusive original artist led music to the globe. Therefore when Cosmic Rocker delivered this album, it was inevitable the first artist album would be released.

Sasha Crnobrnja (pronounced 'Sir-no-burn-jah'), aka Cosmic Rocker became interested in drumming and DJ'ing and at age 20 and began studying drumming with master percussionist Cosimo Lampis of Brainticket. While at the same time, being heavily influenced for days to come, by the 'cosmic' scene, a little known movement of a mixture of musical styles that had its origins in Italy in the 70s. In 1993 Sasha moved to New York and soon co-founded Organic Grooves.

Prior to 911, Pathaan was frequenting New York every month and it was during this time their friendship spawned. Hence while producing 'Mirrors and Windows', Sasha felt it was a project suitable for 'Stoned Asia Music', with tracks like 'Occasionally Modified' featured on 'Pathaan's Small World' and 'Liquid Medium' on 'Stoned Asia Music Edition 4'.

Cosmic Rocker, the man behind Codek and the Organic Grooves parties in NYC has already been asked whether this music can be categorized? You could say 'file under: Trip Hop, Leftfield, Cosmic or Asian/World' but we won't. The point is, this is uncategorizable by name but fits many comfortable niches by vibe whether it's 'Cobra', ' Sugar', 'Occasionally Modified' or any of the other quality tracks present here.

What we will say is, enjoy 'Mirrors and Windows' and do not forget the name 'Cosmic Rocker' and as a description you could call it, 'sounds of the world with shaky bead stoned banjo slangin' hippy flip flops with mad dub echoes' or just plain and simple, proper 'Stoned Asia Music'.
