CD Reviews

Good Stuff!
Ed Shapiro | Columbus, Ohio | 03/29/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"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!"
Japanese Piano Music
Tim Lee | Orange County, CA | 04/02/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD has got to be the definitive in Japanese new age piano music. There is a distinct mode and sequence that these japanese painists tend to follow, as a similiar scale is apparent throghout most of the album. The recording is done cripsly and follows a certain dramatic Japanese style, compared to american new age piano which is almost certainly based on repetition, the Japanese use sinular melodies and keep the music flowing. A great CD for on the road or just moody moments."
This changes the pace

"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."
