- Hauntingly Beautiful

I love learning about different cultures, and one thing that truly brings a culture to life the most is its music. The music in this album is all around beautiful, and seems somehow to personify Japan in a mysterious sort of way.
On a side note, I was listening to Ogi No Mato as I was driving home from work, and realized some of the vocals in this track were also used in another score I love, Memoirs of a Geisha, in the track "The Fire Scene" (I recommend both the score and the film for those who have enjoyed this album).
- I am so going to get this!

The track Azuma Jishi was also sampled in a L.A. Guns song called Over The Edge.

I just want to say, "Thank you very much" to those who helped make this album a reality. My good friend and I listen to this music as we stretch our minds and souls, as well as our bodies (This is in preparation for the mastery of martial arts). This album is killer when combined with meditation. Bonzai and Sonno Joi!

Great album, almost haunting in it's beauty. Inside track 3, Ogi No Mato, there is a segment that was used in the sci fi classic Blade Runner. It was used when they would show the large floating video billboards.
That aside, I love this album.

A beautiful mix of traditional pieces and instruments. Simple, elegant and enchanting, this album is the perfect relaxer after any workday.
