Hope you like it:)

Discovery became legendary whern they released this collection onto the market in 1999. It caused a huge stir, and with good reason too. The quality of the recordings, and the sheer amount of samples in this library made it a hard one to ignore for people looking for a range of authentic sounding Chinese flavours. ( omission ) Discovery deserves all of the praise that was heaped in wads upon it when this collection was first released. When i got this, there was so much good usable stuff that i hardly new where to start. Admittedly, in my opinion, this sample pack seems more suited to movie and theatre scores, but anyone looking for traditional sounds would find it irreplaceable. Never have i heard such a fantastic slice of life from one culture. Except maybe the Alma Flamenco Release but even that didn’t have the diversity that this does. Butch give this a well deserved RF award. Well done discovery.

SHAMISEN Sample Cd
This painstaking work faithfully reproduces the shamisen's unique tones, from delicate reverberations
to impassioned, soul-stirring phrases.
There is a historical “period drama” boom among the younger generation, fueled by the film and music industry. One theory holds that the driving forces behind this boom are director Hayao Miyazaki's most recent works. These animated features feature historical “old Japan” as their setting, and have been record-setting national hits within Japanese audiences. These successful films have granted us a fresh opportunity to see our country in a different light.
The instrument known as the shamisen can be traced back to the biwaand other similar instruments derived from China; there is arguably no sound to which the Japanese ear is more accustomed. The shakuhachi has little intonation, and the koto, while gorgeous, has no lightness. A mere three strings of the Shamisen spun of silken threads express a vast range of human emotion with rich feeling.

DIDGERIDOO- Australian Native Music
Australia's native inhabitants, the Aborigines, converse with the spirits through this sacred, unique instrument.This library will imbue your music with a sound that’s undeniably Australian.
The 2000 Olypmic Games in Sydney made a vivid and lasting impression of aboriginal culture on the world. Then came the record-breaking television series Survivor, the Australian Outback. These global broadcasts brought the rich sound of the Australian Aborigines to the mainstream.
The didgeridoo is made from cutting a 1-2 meter section of a eucalyptus tree that has been hollowed out by hungry termites. Its performance consists of vibrating the lips while employing a circular breathing technique that causes the inside of the performer's mouth, as well as the inside of the instrument, to resonate. This dual sound is incredibly mysterious, and is captured perfectly on this popular collection.
