Hi Ezra -- Unfortunately, Chen Xing's album isn't available outside the People's Republic of China. But here's his site: http://www.cx108.com/

Comrades, I did find a Chen Xing video here, although a rather slick production compared to what you hear in the piece:

Probably others out there if you can navigate the Chinese characters! Maybe even on the site Jenny mentions. You can also try googling his name (if you can see this on your computer): 陈星
