Percussion Awaits!

And in case you didn't know, "Nihon Daiko" is the name of the ensemble, not a single person.

01. Hokkai-Bayashi (4:34)
02. Tancho-Bayashi (3:42)
03. Dai-Genyo (5:39)
04. Ten-Chi (4:38)
05. O-Daiko (9:44)
06. Shiretoko-Yamanami Daiko (5:09)
07. Hokkai-Bayashi (Serious Version) (4:36)
08. Hokkai-Bayashi (Festival Version) (4:21)
09. Dzauku (6:48)

You may be awed, you may be thrilled, you may be unimpressed by this 1998 release.  But it is interesting at least ONCE through!  For the life of me, I dno't know what makes Track 7 "serious" and Track 8 "festival."

Can you clue me in?


See you on Monday.  I think we may have a month of soundtracks, if I can scrape enough together.
