hallowvirtue It's among the very few selections I've ever found that correctly brings a foreboding ambience without loud disruptions. Favorite track: Righteousness (義 gi).

reb1138 Excellent samurai-synth. The kabuki ambient influence really shines through. Favorite track: Courage (勇 yū).

Heihachi Strong, serious and savage.

about

"The Eight Noble Virtues of a Samurai" is a concept album inspired by ancient medieval Japanese lifestyle and Samurai code of conduct. It speaks of forgotten virtues by which men led their lives and fulfilled their duties in the realm of mortals. Musically and stylistically, inspiration comes from kabuki theatre music and old Japanese koto folk music.

Good music to journey to. Calming synth, ethereal birdsong and choral elements with an occasional sinister undertone. There's quite an oriental feel in places with flute and koto-like tones. frithrah

Prehistoric Meditations

This album reeks of earth, wood, fire and fur. The endless drones, distant drums mystic chants are carrying the listener away to dreams of a primordial age, were the red paintings on the walls of the cave come to life to tell stories of even more ancient gatherings, hunts and meetings with the spirits of the ancestors. The length of the tracks is just perfect to zone out and to get lost in hazy visions of a world long gone...a deep, meditative masterpiece. Rindenberg
