Mixed feelings

"i bought this cd an while ago and never wrote a review, but since i rely so heavily on these review, i figured i better give back. here goes.



some of this cd is phenominal, and some of it could be passed over. not that its not good, just not to my taste. i tend to gravitate more to the soft, drastic contrast between the bamboo flute and the koto, but more soothing sound. the only problem with this cd is that it goes from something like this to a drum routine, that while isnt bad, is so diffrent that is doesnt flow well. id rather use the drum tracks as one cd, and the other music as another.



so in a way, if you have no real idea what types of japanese music you like but you are curious, this is a great cd because it gives a great variety and from this you can isolate sounds you like and shop more educated. in this way it does serve a great purpose, but only temporarily for me...once i found the tracks i liked, i added them to a playlist on my laptop and hardly use the disc anymore."
Good sample of japanese music

"this cd offers a good cross section of various genres of japanese music. As can be expected, it is not necessarily a good ambience setting collection, as you go from quiet koto to taiko drums with only a second to adjust :)



the interpretations are reasonably good, sound recording is good



overall, i would recommend it as an introduction to the variety of japanese music"

"Something I would recomend for those that like Japanese music. We use this in my dojo during Tai Chi classes and for background music when there are no classes running."
