Merci Onxidlib.
It's good and groovy, dancing indeed. I don't know what Akira Sakata talks about on the first track, but it's fun.

Hi Igor,

it's Akira Sakata himself.

He has recently recorded a CD where he recites the Heike > here

He needs such a voice for this Japanese epos - that's were his voice's coming from ;-)

onxidlib,
hahah, of course i had no doubt that the voice belongs to Sakata himself, as for Japanese epos - that's an interesting detail, i really have to learn more about using it in music! thanks!

Thanks, Ernst, I've boycotted that blog, as he who runs it always posts FLAC files that are in actuality 192 kbps (or even lower, 128!), as run through a spectrum analyzer. A very shady, deceptive practice, in my opinion.
