Hi all,
I'm looking for some good Japanese music. Not modern pop that is to be found any- and everywhere, nor the (really) traditional kind either. This whole evening I've spent searching for it. Been listening to samples on Amazon, eMusic and iTMS, but haven't found what I was looking for. Well, I found this (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=50968990&s=143452) artist to be quite interesting. But still, his music wasn't exactly what I was looking for.
What I'm really looking for, I guess, is not really Japanese music, but music inspired by traditional Japanees music. Know what I mean? Played with either the traditional Japanese instruments (like the shamisen, koto, biwa, shakuhachi and sho) or made electronically, sounding like them.
I remember seeing this extremely cool flash animation (http://cdn.shockwave.com/afassets/flash/drum_machine.swf) for the first time and being gripped by it's music. Especially the introduction music, with the flute. It's that sort of music I'm looking for. Not short snippets like that, though, but really music.
Does anybody here knows where to look for that? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Holy crap, this whole site (http://www.tokyoplastic.com/) is extremely cool!
