1 out of 5 stars Buy this for one song.......2006-08-07

I don't get it! This guy's a guitar player but this is hardly a guitarnut work. Too much synthesizer and fake drums.

With the exception of the Kill Bill song (which is done 3 times here!) there is nothing worth repeated listening. The Immigrant Song cover is interesting but, in reality, it is a techno version of an otherwise classic song.

This scd is like movie soundtrack music. If you are a rock and roller or if you are looking for music similar to the Kill Bill song, you will be misled.

The artist is a guitar player using his musicianship to play very unguitar sounding music. This is for the dance music crowd!

5 out of 5 stars Hotei Tomoyasu.......2006-03-03

Hotei Tomoyasu was a member of Boowy which was the most
famous japanese rock and roll band.

Himuro Kyousuke was the leader of Boowy.

Hotei mainly wrote musics of Boowy.
He is very tall man and good at electric guitar(Search at YouTube
if you have an interest).
He played his electric guitar music at Olympic opening before.

He wrote one of musics used in "Kill Bill".
Do you know that?

5 out of 5 stars Electric Samurai.......2006-02-17

Very Good guitar with an Euro-Japanese ultra modern mix.

Way cool music. I actually use it to develop tempo for my golf swing...particularly the Kill Bill arrangement for "Without Honor or Humanity."

5 out of 5 stars Holy crap this rocks!.......2005-12-20

This is one of the few albums where the term 'bad-ass' just isn't enough. This album is well worth it's cost for the title song along (Battle Without Honor Or Humanity (Kill-Bill theme)), except every song is nearly as good!

Imagine Rob Zombie doing the Immigrant Song. Yes. Seriously.

5 out of 5 stars Great music - but watch out for the malware.......2005-11-18

Others have already commented on the music adequately, but there's something else on this album that you need to know about.

This is one of the now infamous Sony Rootkit albums. If you stick it in a PC it will attempt to autorun an installation which will hide many files from users and will add code that intercepts certain system calls and loads down the machine. Even worse the rootkit has been exploited by virus writers.

As of mid November 2005 (this week) Microsoft has declared this rootkit to be Malware and their anti spyware software will remove it whenever it encounters it.

There is a very small warning on the back of the box, a second warning says that on normal players, which can't install their malicious software, the disk may not play. Search for Sony, BMG and Malware to confirm the nature of this exploit.

His music was picked up for the Kill Bill Vol. 1 movie. Track 1 on this album 'Battle Without Honor or Humanity' was used on the trailer for the movie. 14 tracks. Copy Controlled. EMI. 2004.

5 out of 5 stars SWEET!.......2006-03-30

This is the first Hotei album that I purchased but I must say that it is A MUST for any fans. It includes music from Kill Bill 1 and Samurai Fiction which have probably his coolest ever songs, in my opinion. If you've never heard of Tomoyasu Hotei, get this CD and you'll be hooked!!! His music is so AWESOME and this CD captures it greatly! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
