This is a good cd, rated a 4.0 "Album Pick" at AMG. A bit of jazz, new age & electronic.
The sound is clear and if you like instrumental music you should like this! David N.

CD Reviews

"East meets West"

02/19/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I became interested in Hiroshima upon hearing the theme from "East meets West", a cooking show on the Food Network. I wasn't disappointed when I heard a dynamic mix of aggressive rhythm and provocative melancholy on this CD. My mood fluctuated with the music, going from steamy hot to soul searching, from feeling light on my feet to feeling comfortably blue. The music was varied and interesting, certainly never boring. A great CD to mix in with other styles of music on a Sunday afternoon whether it be gray or sunny!"

Truly different in the jazz arena

"My wife and I just saw them a few weeks back, and this CD captures the energy of the band (Black and White is great, but a bit to smooth-jazzed-out). These guys are great, as I have been following them since their first CD. Mind you, as most 'best ofs', there is some critical bits missing, however the record company did a decent job on this one...Their sound is very unique, however is not totally East or West - their blend of the elements of both is infectious! If you want to round out your jazz collection, or just get something different from all the smooth jazz bs that is out there (eg Kenny G), try this one out - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised."

Smooth Jazz at its best

M. Lee | Santa Monica, CA | 01/20/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Hiroshima is a wonderful smooth jazz fusion group. This group is original because it combines elements of western and Japanese music in a very unique fusion. The trademark of this group is the sound of the traditional Japanese instrument, the "koto", which can be heard in each song. For those of you who are already familiar with smooth jazz, this group stays true to the traditioanl smooth jazz sound, but the Japanese elements make it more interesting. The only unfortunate part of this CD is that after a few songs it may start sounding like background music (ex: the kind of music you might listen to in a contemporary Japanese restaurant or in an office), but overall it is a very refreshing CD, which I think is especially good as background music for parties, get togethers, studying, relaxing, or thinking. This is low calorie music, meaning that it is not heavy, very intricate or complicated like many forms of jazz (ex: be bop)."

Hiroshima is great!

Raj Jawa | Santa Clarita, CA United States | 10/26/2005

"I cannot say this is my favorite group but they definitely have some great hits on this CD. A few of my favorites are "Go", "Island World", "Hawaiian Electric", and I especially love "One Wish." When I went online searching for Smooth Jazz music I found this and after listening to the samples I knew it would be a CD I would enjoy. I had heard "One Wish" else where so I already had an idea about this band and once I heard clips of the other songs, I knew The Best of Hiroshima was a CD I had to add to my collection. If you like upbeat instrumentals in a kind of rockin' beat, then I definitely suggest taking a look at The Best of Hiroshima."

A great "Best Of" compilation

Glenn | Bergenfield, NJ USA | 12/14/2003

"This is the best of the quazi-cultural group, Hiroshima. A good cross between Japanese and American influences. Sort of a healthy synergy of East and West which creates a style that is a pleasure to listen to. The songs that really stand out are "Another Place", "One Wish" and "Hawaiian Electric". It's probably worth buying the CD just for those 3 songs!If you are a music purist, you might not like this concept. Purist or not, you'll have to admit that this one works."
