Personal Choice:

An eclectic mix of styles, all Rock to be sure, but the mix keeps you on your toes for the whole disc.

All are classic rock hits, such as The Boys of Summer by The Ataris, Outside by Staind, With Arms Wide Open by Creed, Stellar*'s hit Violent... all tracks I have enjoyed, and still do.

Overall, I would say this is a great album for those of us who have enjoyed the highlights of the NZ music scene, and the last decade of Rock. I would count at least 10 of the 18 as personal favourites. Well worth the purchase price. Watch for it on sale for a real bargain!

Product reviews for listing 906: Mandala symphony
Performed by Toshiro Mayuzumi

The Japanese composer Toshiro Mayuzumi enjoyed a distinguished international reputation on a par with that of Toru Takemitsu. Versatile and prolific, he contributed music for films, the theatre and broadcasts. This recording features two of his most rythmically exciting and exotically scored works from the 1960s, the ballad Bugaku, based on ancient Japanese imperial dance, and the Mandala Symphony, inspired by Buddhist teaching. Symphonic mood was Mayuzumi's first orchestral composition, while the colourful Rumba Rhapsody here recieves what is probably its first ever performance.
