Turning Japanese

I've made a few bad music choices lately, but these three instrumental tracks from Agatsuma are not among them. In fact I had a bit of a hard time narrowing down a list of choices to buy from a good-sized catalog of excellent tracks from this artist as I am nearly out of room on the iPod and am short on funds.

Instrumentals are always a favorite because they serve well as background music or as the focus the moment. These tracks, however, have trouble staying out of the spotlight. The rhythms and the orchestration almost scream "Listen to me!" but without being overpowering. While iTunes lists them as New Age I've re-labeled them as World Music because they are distinctly non-Western in flavor but I can understand the original choice. Unlike some World Music I've listened to, Agatsuma's work is fresh and modern while still expressing a cultural identity.
