sublime traditional Japanese drumming.......2006-11-07

A little over a year ago, I bought the Portland Taiko Group's album, "Big Bang," a beautifully-made collection of traditional and modern flavors of Japanese drumming. This thunderous introduction to taiko instantly became a favorite in my collection and I hungered for more traditional music of Japan, so I picked up this album from Wadaiko Matsuriza. As much as I love the American group's work, master drummer Masaya Takashino's ensemble, based in Hachioji City, takes it to another level in this flawless recording.

Few genres of music have such an electrifying impact upon people of diverse origins as Japanese drumming, which is why recordings like this one continue to proliferate worldwide. Like the works of Bach, Beethoven, and the "Chant" albums from the Christian monks, it's an experience of sound that everybody can relate to and enjoy.

Foreign Colture.......2005-10-23

If you are a colture person this CD is for you. Enjoy the intence yet soothing sound of drums that sound with a story behind it. Every time I hear them I relize how disiplend they are. Enjoy.

I love this band. .......2006-07-28

I love this band. Heavensdust is one of those unique bands out there, the metal aspect is not that original but I do love the hard metal riffs, but the unique part comes in with the instruments that are Japanese. If I owned a record label or anything I would sign these guys in a second because I know they would become a fairly successful band in the United States. The whole atmosphere is beautiful at the same time it is brutal, but the only complaint I have is that the CD should sound better like the quality isn't that good but it doesn't matter I still love it.
