The Yoshida brothers, apparently quite popular in Japan, combine the traditional Japanese tsugaru-shamisen (3-foot long, 3-stringed instrument played with a pick) with Western instruments to create a collection of soothing, new-agey songs. This is their second album. --Chuan-Mei 1. * very "new-age" sounding, accompanying strings and percussion give a full, epic sound; slow tempo (5:32) 2. accompanying guitar, bass, fast rhythmic drumming solo, some organ; fast tempo (5:04) 3. guitar gives Latin flavor, mid-fast tempo (5:18) 4. * soothing, traditional song with flute and strings, slow tempo (4:24) 5. improvised, dueling tsugaru-shamisens, fast tempo (3:41) 6. twangy rythmic, bluesy fusion, mid tempo (5:15) 7. * Spanish-inspired Flamenco guitar, tabla and persussion, mid-fast tempo (5:01) 8. soothing and calm, quiet harps, slow tempo (4:22) 9. traditional Japanese folk song modernized by guitars and drumming, fast tempo (4:31) 10. ** tsugaru-shamisen duet, very fast tempo (2:16) 11. soothing, opens with birds chirping, keyboards, bells, slow tempo (4:11) 12. track #5 remixed with electronic beats, fast tempo (4:12) | ||
