Ancient City

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Nostalgic, poignant, and graceful

Five Japanese composer/pianists pay homage to Japan's millennial capital, Kyoto. The pentatonic scale was used to create these beautiful piano melodies, and the quiet resonance of the music will lead you on a stroll through the ancient city, on a path traveled long ago by our forefathers.

To enhance your enjoyment of the music, incense sticks are included in the spine of the CD jewel case.

Further proof that the 15-year-old male is the nexus of contemporary popular entertainment, this anthology of music from and "inspired by" the sequel to the earth-conquering Halo saga also showcases how capably the video game industry can trump even Hollywood's vaunted production values. The original synth-heavy underscore by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori is filled with enough brooding, mock-Goth atmospherics, and pulsing exotica of indeterminate ethnicity to give the Hans Zimmer stable a run for their money, while a slate of (mostly) worthy rock star guest turns give it a welcome edge. Legendary axe-slinger Steve Vai's sinewy riffing punches up the reworked main theme and "Never Surrender," while alt.metal contenders Breaking Benjamin serve up the suitably dramatic inspired-by cut "Blow Me Away." But it's Incubus' four-part "Odyssey" suite that's the centerpiece, bridging 1970s prog and modern rock with its moody aura and evocative musical dramatics. --Jerry McCulley

This CD stayed in my truck's CD player for months before getting tired of it. Enough said.

5 out of 5 stars Great game - great music.......2007-01-10

My son wanted this Cd. I had never sat long enough to listen to the music when he played Halo, so I didn't have a clue what I was buying. He let me listen to some of the tracks once it arrived and I had to "borrow" it from him so I could download the cd onto my pc. Needless to say I bought volume 2 and the original Halo soundtrack cd as well. They may belong to my son, but I love these cds too!

3 out of 5 stars Hug your pillows girls.......2006-08-06

THe only reason I am writing anything about this album is because it contains the Odyssey by Incubus, and its probably some of their best work and will go down as their most unnoticed. While the rest of your nerds are huggin your pillows at night thinking about your video games and the "gnarly instrumentals" on this album you sit there and bash Incubus' work. The first track by them, Follow, is not all that great however it was re-released on an additional cd with their Alive at Red Rocks DVD and it sounds sooooooo much better on that cd (with some real lyrics) But after listening to the Odyssey I was really hoping this to be a new direction for Incubus, a more proggressive/conceptual sound. Whether this is the direction they go on with their new album is yet to be heard. Its a shame that this work will go unnoticed, and the only reason it will be that way because a bunch of losers decide to try and impress people with (what they think) is a sense of music just because its of a classical nature. Yes, the rest of the music on the album is amazing, and I give big ups to its composition, but come on people, show some love to good music when its presented to your faces.

5 out of 5 stars best video game soundtrack ever........2006-08-03

i understand that many people are a bit angry with breaking benjamin and hoobastank being in here. i'm not particularly happy myself with the last track, but i think contemporary music is appropriate here, albeit lyrics may not be the greatest form of expressing the mysterious feeling behind everything. i think o'donnel and salvatori have what it takes to compose a score of music, but it's not a score, it's a soundtrack. i found that if you don't like them you can just skip them. the second to last track is a great way to end the soundtrack.

5 out of 5 stars classical music listeners stop complaining.......2006-05-10

The worst part of this album was songs with lyrics (breaking benjamin, techno, hoobastank)...i dont understand then why people are upset with the incubus - follow has one word the whole song (two if you count "yeah") and their instrumental songs are brilliant, floyd-esque at times. for those of you reading others criticizing this album, ignore them, ignore the three bad songs on this album, and purchase it and enjoy it.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The picture.......2006-12-11

I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

Whenever I'm stressed out or the pace seems too frantic, I play my Ancient City CD and I'm totally transported to a more tranquil place. If you like George Winston, you've gotta hear this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Good Stuff!.......2000-03-29

This is a fabulous CD! It has a good variety, and while being reminicient of George Winston, moves a bit more. If you like relaxing music that is filled with complex peaceful rhythms, you must get this CD!

A compilation of soothing, calming and even spiritual piano compositions. close your eyes and breath relax and feel the emotions played out in every key. Buy them both!

5 out of 5 stars breathtaking aural vistas of the old Kyoto..........2004-08-08

and then some. this following album to the phenomenal collection of solo piano works by an assortment of japanese pianist virtuosos is every bit as hauntingly beautiful as the Ancient City original release.

first time listeners to either album will suddently realize by the third piece that the sound is quite exotic. there is a reason. western music is predominantly based on the chromatic scales but these japanese lovers of the piano feel the nostalgia of rural, historical japan with a certain pentatonic melody, but perfectly executing their sketches with a ubitquitous western instrument--the piano. the tunes are like that of no other, and it invokes powerful images of dreamscapes for nature and music lovers alike.

the ancient city II is even well suited for casual listening after a grueling day of white-collared enslavement, harmonically blending into the background without a trace, yet sustaining an ambience subtle and potent enough to relax even the most stressed person.

four of the previous musicians (my personal favorites, masaji watanabe, naoyuki onda) return with established solo artist missa johnouchi (including pieces from her new solo release, kataribe) makes their appearance on this compilation. don't allow their osbcure names to give an impression of generic mediocrity. Pacific Moon does not produce generic music. they are highly specialized in recording only the best Asian musicians, even if their names are unsung in the western world.

my only minor gripe that does not deter from the Ancient City II's five star rating, is the less than contemplative piece by (*gasp*) mostly brilliant jazzist (the influence is fairly obvious) onda-san, who attempts to compose/perform a bizarre waltz-like up-tempo song that just doesn't seem to befit the motif of the overall Ancient City sound (nocturne, pastoral, classic but not classical). other than that, this is a highly recommended instrumental album for space music collections.

4 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT ORGAN MUSIC !.......2001-07-13

I'm rather hooked on this album.I wish it were longer than just over 30 minutes.What you have here is some really good,exotic console organ music with tastefully added percussion.This is mostly a mellow ,relaxing album,perfectly suited for the sleep timer.The best tracks are "Jungle Path/The City","The Lagoon at Midnight"and"Hall of Snakes".These tunes are almost hypnotic."Procession"and "The Ruins"are also excellent and not far behind.The two somewhat uptempo selections are "Dance of the Virgins",which brings belly dancing to my mind and "Song of Celebration"which along with the previously mentioned short length of the disc are my reasons for rating it at 4 stars instead of 5.There's some vocal chanting on this one that seems to interrupt the spell that this otherwise excellent record continues to put me under.I would reccomend this rare jewel to any fan of exotic lounge or electronic organ music.

    5 out of 5 stars Classical Wonder.......2003-05-18

    As an avid classical music listener, and cellist, Classical Heat was the perfect blend of energized, fast-paced works, and then on the second disk, a more mellow, yet still firey, works. I would recommend this CD set to every classical listener, even people that don't normally like the classical genre will enjoy this cd.

    5 out of 5 stars Beware the Flame.......2002-06-14

    Trumpet blasts, french horn flares, all the way to the subtle reeds of the bassoon. This album will keep you interested and awake all the way through. Paired with its sister album "Classical Chill", they can be the perfect mix you have been looking for. Musician and listener alike: This CD is a must have.
