Constantly amazed...
author: Ayumi Pantell
On Ensemble constantly amazes me with their talent and creativity. It's music on a whole new level and my ears are happier for having On Ensemble touch them. I was going to say which ones I love most, but realized I was about to rattle off the all the songs on the album!
I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a pre-release copy of their newest album and I'm still amazed. If you love Dust and Sand, be sure to keep an eye out for "Ume in the Middle".

Excelent sound
author: Hachi Gatsu
I saw the On Ensemble in concert once and I was hooked, they do amazing work, whether its live or on a CD. Some bands aren't so good live, but the On Ensemble deliver on both ends with their own sounds. They don't call it Neo-Traditional Taiko for nothing. I recomend it for those who think outside the musical box.

Solid... yet it flows

I'm glad I purchased this. The quality is quite good and every beat of the drums brings forth energy while the voices are brilliant. "Little Man" makes me want to jump in as a chorus of voices greatly adds to the energy of the song in a later portion. There's some variation with the songs "Same Planet" and "Zeecha" as the electronics really come into play and add flair to every moment of the songs.

This is one of the most innovative CD's I have ever heard. Every song bursts forth with energy and imagination. The recording is crisp and clear - yet there is mystery everywhere as there are more sounds than I can comprehend. The editing and mixing are really first rate - exceptional for a first album. My congratulations to everyone involved.
