Industry Reviews
Skilled purveyors of Japanese taiko tradition....alternately driving and poetic, percussive and melodic, the music here contains both starkness and elegance.
JazzTimes (06/01/1997)
...masters of the taiko, a discipline demanding both musical ability and extreme physical stamina...The pulsing, polyrhythmic percussion...is a good introduction to the varieties of this type of music...
