CD Reviews

An atmospheric sonic journey

Jed Shlackman | Miami, FL United States | 03/10/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This album contains a compilation of music that's hard to classify. There are atmospheric guitar riffs and haunting vocals (think of Neil Young), ambient atmospheric textures behind the vocals and guitar, and sometimes some hypnotic acid rock/folk rock rhythms on percussion. I like the track "tomahawk drummer" a lot, as well as "hauntingly beautiful." I felt that the album's focus wasn't clear in some way, as if the material would fit on 2 separate albums, both being musically solid and emotionally evocative, but in different ways. I am impressed by this album and recommend it for those looking for something that bridges genres and captures a certain moodiness with musical textures."

Akataka, a amazing new sound

Crimsonfairy | Arizona | 05/20/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Akataka's lushly layered instrumentations and swirling vocals creates a beautiful encounter with sound, vibration and spirit. There is a mystique and a haunting, personal quality to many of the tracks. The lyrics are vague allowing the listener to attach their own meaning to the songs. I think my favorite is Pure. The ethereal nylon guitar grabs me every time. I sense this is just the begining for Akataka, which is good news for us!!"
