The sheer force wielded by the traditional Japanese percussion ensemble KODO moves us to our core on this well-compiled album celebrating the group's 25th anniversary. You'll be rocked by the elemental strength they draw on for each of these tracks, from their guttural vocalizations on "Lion" to their dance-worthy beats on the primal "Shake." There's an almost disco-like syncopation on the shimmering "Strobe's Nanafushi (Satori Mix)," as well as hypnotizing flute on the mystical "Irodori."
