This is great, mesmerizing soundscape, and an absorbing journey, totally absorbing.

A very skillful piece of music, wonderful blend of instruments and superb composition. The production is top notch too! The strong oriental influence gives it a great atmosphere. Excellent work!
A true work of joy. A Captivating riff provides a fantastic backdrop for the fantastic koto and flute melodies, and once the percussion joins the middle section is indeed pure magic. :D

Very creative work with the multiple time signatures and varied ethnic influences. the whole beginning gives a joyous feeling, then the flute takes it to a calmer more peaceful ending very complex & enjoyable to listen to

This would have been a perfect addition to the Oriental CBC challenge. Lovely Koto and flute melodies kicking into that wonderful mid-section around 2:12. Great hand percussion and dramatic drumming throughout and a haunting outro on the flute. Bravo my friend, a brilliant piece :)

This doesn't evoke thoughts of the Samurai for me (but then I don't know much at all about the Samurai). Nonetheless, I found it a most enjoyable piece of music to listen to. Very well done in my humble opinion

This is one great track…Terrific underlining melody groove with the sonic acoustic guitar rhythm. Awesome lead play with the ethnic instrumentation. Nice musical change. This arrangement works so well. Love the Taiko drums at 2:00…Marvelous bridge release at 2:12… Creatively done flute melody ending. Thoroughly enjoyed this composition with its Asian/ ethnic overtones. This is one of your best works imho Alex...Cheers

Samurai Memories, I was surprised for the use of an acoustic Guitar ( if it is... ) playing that marvelous riff through the whole tune! Many interesting sounds, some of them I couldn´t identify ( like an ungarian Cymbal... at the begin). My preferred part is in the middle, so much percussions ( and you CAN use percussion) that are giving pulsating moments of life. It is a journey, really, a sweet journey in the music world. More than in a "Traditional Asian" Track I would place it in a World "New Wave": but this is only my opinion of course. Good work Alex, thank you for sharing!
