5 out of 5 stars High energy minimal set, still fresh sounding today........2007-01-14

I picked this up recently expecting to maybe hear it as a little weaker, or dated, compared to all the new, fresh minimal techno that has arrived on the electronic scene in the past year or two, but what I found was a mix that can easily hold it's own with any '06 or even new '07 mix coming out right now. Ricardo peppers us with high energy techno and tech house from start to finish, with a lot of tracks, a lot of great melodies, and a ton of energy. It's much faster paced stuff than the minimal he is use to putting out lately, and you may be as suprised as I was to hear something this good, especially since rumour has it that he is a much better producer and creator of music than he is a mixer. What I love is that he is able to pack in a walloping 22 tracks, yet you don't feel cheated at the short length of some of them, due to the frantic pace of the BPM's in these tracks. This is a stark contrast to the long, drawn out 10-15 minute tracks he loves to create.

A much better mix than his Green and Blue CD with Loco Dice from late 2005. Don't expect to hear an old dud from way back in '03 because this is as hot as anything out here right now.

5 out of 5 stars Excelente !.......2004-07-16

Hola, este album es una muy buena muestra de lo que es minimal house, desde que empieza es bueno y las mezclas son cada vez mejores, pero es un disco dificil de comprender.

Lo recomiendo 100%

5 out of 5 stars Must have.......2004-04-27

Villalobos has clearly arrived. You can tell by the number of his own tracks that appear in many big DJ compilations these days -- and not just of the "minimal" variety. "Taka Taka" is Villalobos's latest mixed recording. He doesn't just succeed with this offering: every track has something to give, and the collection simply gets better and better. At one point early on this CD was impossible to get, as the label greatly underestimated interest in it. Grab it while you can.

    Album Description

    New sounds for the Japanese koto, presented by the Seattle-based Taka Koto Ensemble. This seven-member ensemble performs contemporary works by koto master Tadao Sawai and works by Ensemble director Master Elizabeth Falconer on the classical stringed instrument. Flowing rhythms and soothing textures make this a refreshing listening experience at the end of a long day.The title piece, Taka (Falcon) is the signature piece for the ensemble, and represents everything the ensemble strives to be: Dynamic, vivid, and free.

    5 out of 5 stars A very pleasant aural journey!.......2004-06-29

    The Japanese word "taka" means "falcon" or "hawk," and this Seattle-based group of seven koto players give us extraordinary contemporary compositions that epitomize the freedom of a raptor in flight. The group also takes its name from the opening piece, "Taka," composed by koto master Tadao Sawai who also penned "Uruma," an historic name for the island of Okinawa. The four pieces from the Taka Ensemble's director, Elizabeth Falconer, embody the spirit of meditative Japanese music -- simultaneously floating, flowing, at once with and without form. The joy of this album is to tune in and listen to the music in each fleeting moment, rather than to expect each piece to slowly intensify until it reaches some culminating sound or passage. A very pleasant aural journey! (Joe Ross, Roseburg, OR.)

    5 out of 5 stars When you hear the koto.......2000-07-04

    When you hear the koto, certain images of my native country, Japan, often drift into the listener's mind. But to my surprise, it was not in this ideal Japan, but rather in Seattle, that I've been able to seriously enjoy koto music.

    The first time I saw Taka Koto at Seattle's Folklife festival, I was deeply moved by the spirit and soul of the group. Taka Koto's first CD is successfully able to bring about the same feelings of peacefulness and nostalgia that I felt at their live performance.

    Even though there is only one instrument, each song, played by this septet, is full of both sound and expression. I only have to close my eyes and each song's scene instantly floats into my mind. Taka Koto adds new energy to the ancient sounds of this 13-string instrument when they realistically mimic the sounds of nature, wind and rain. This ability to bring fresh sounds to a traditional instrument keeps me attentive and interested while listening to this CD. Each new sound leads me to new visions and inspirations.

    The koto's sound fills me with homesick nostalgia and makes me realize how much I have taken for granted the sound of this traditional Japanese instrument. I highly recommend this CD and know that you, too, will enjoy this CD time and time again.

    5 out of 5 stars A wonderful Musical Journey.......2000-07-01

    I first heard the Taka Koto Ensemble at an open-air concert where their music and orchestrations captured the essence of spring breezes. I purchased the cd that night from one of the members of the ensemble and have enjoyed it regularly since then. The sounds created in the pieces are vibrant, sensual, fresh and soothing. The ensemble propels the listener through planes of flight and fantasy with their astonishing rhythms and syncopations. Each cut on the cd has it's own personality and each is moving and entrancing and collectively they take you on an extraordinary journey of spiritual magnitude. Immerse yourself with headphones and feel each of the ensemble's fingers plucking and strumming on chords sent from the heavens. The creatively of the ensemble with this traditional instrument makes this cd a must have for any music lovers collection!This cd ranks up there with the music of Kitaro, Jean Michel Jarre, and Yanni.
