Query: beautiful...

I stumbled upon this CD while searching for music containing tsugaru shamisen (traditional Japanese stringed instrument). At first, I was going to just write it off as being another "world fusion" attempt, however, I decided to give it a try... WOW, to my surprise, it was absolutely beautiful!The shamisen is such an emotion evoking instrument as it is, and paired with electronic beats and world music influences... well, a completely new sound is created... and it is SO refreshing... and beautiful! I love how the traditional sounds of the shamisen meld with the modern components of the music... the rhythms are great, too.Most importantly, I can listen to this album and not get bored. The music takes you on a journey, without staying in one place too long. Oh, and the kodo drums are amazing!!!
