	"The sort of cascading fretwork that Hackett perfected has also been perfected by guitaristsMark Phraner and Dave Wheeler here (on the lovely "China," for instance), and it can only be called gorgeous.It, indeed, projects a faraway place, be that place real or imaginary."

	Story Behind the Song This song is inspired by the suffering of China's political prisoners. They are stuffed away in one of the largest and oldest bureaucracies in the world. Here they will live their lifes without seeing the ones they love..again... they become like ghosts. We...will...buy..the toys they make, and if we need them enough, pre-order their organs. This song attempts to speak out for those prisoners. Lyrics China Copyright 1998 by Phreeworld Lyrics by Dave Wheeler We hold this truth to be so real: You can't just harvest men ripe with steel. China, how long? When our kids look back will they say, "We showed our cards and called a spade a spade." "No ones a slave". In a cold little shop where they work to the bone and they know in their hearts they won't see home again. Way down in Beijing where they work real hard making toys for our kids from their own graveyard. At night they dream about their families. Like ghosts they're haunted by their life and memories. China, how long? We hold this truth to be so damn real: You can't just harvest men ripe with steel. China, how long? No one's for sale.
