Purple Sky and Sparkplugged review
Thursday, April 30th, 2009Just got a very nice review of “Ume in the Middle” on Purple Sky Magazine and Sparkplugged.net:
On Ensemble (pronounced “Ohn”) pulls traditional Japanese music up by its roots and replants it in rich soil, fertilized by modern style and sensibility.
The band’s latest album, Ume in the Middle, features a fresh synthesis of east and west and innovation and tradition, that provides the context for On Ensemble to create a sound that blends Japanese drumming and more with electronica, hip-hop, and rock.
