I believe this is called artistry.
Thus, in this case what I believe is so wonderful about the Art of Koto vol.1 is that unlike some albums there is no smudge of sound. Yoshimura manages to attain a clarity that is not always present on other recording. Also, I don’t feel musically patronised.

Great Irish band with different rythums for every song 
Might be too different for some people Iit's the Delgados May not be easy to find . its the Delgados so will never be a million seller some excellent tracks songs get a bit samey after a while Rock, Roll and Revel in Cat Power's stunning vocals The last track is oh so poorly recorded Strong music and lyrics A little samey, and very over-exposed at its peakThe Butcher's Ballroom - Diablo Swing Orchestra
Balrog Boogie - what a track! Too much opera for me!
Burn The Witch - Stone Gods
Brilliant vocals and some fantastically powerful instrumental work. Fans of The Darkness may find the music of Stone Gods a bit too full on.
Spiritual Healing - Death
Perfects the early death metal style, and is ready to move on. Still a little repetitive once each song hits its stride.
Stab Wounds - Dark Fortress
Great melodic black metal for newcomers. Offers little to those already familiar with the genre.
Starfall - Dragonland
Successful experimentation. Lacks diversity.
Storm Of The Light's Bane - Dissection
Great songwriting, atmosphere, and riffs, powerful atmosphere, varied None
Stormblast - Dimmu Borgir
unique sound still a bit monotonous
Sunflower - Beach Boys
So many greats songs to hear No Bonus tracks
The Book Of Heavy Metal - Dream Evil
Good, fun, musicianship Eurovision vocals
Spiritual Black Dimensions - Dimmu Borgir
complex, dark a bit monotonous
