The "Samurai Collection" CD is a compilation of tracks put out on the Pacific Moon label (check their website for more...) and mostly consists of work by artists Uttara Kuru, Kiyoshi Yoshida, and Eri Sugai. These artists all have their own CDs on Pacific Moon and you can find their CDs in Book & Record chains like Barnes & Noble and Borders (and of course Amazon...) as well as of course our friends at e-bogu.

The production and arrangements are good; combining use of traditional instruments with modern musical sensibilities, it's good for getting into a kendo mood...

I doubt I could find it my Barnes & Nobles. They're music collection is just bad to say the least.

Amazon.com has them for about $15 each here (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001EFU4G/sr=8-1/qid=1150107504/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-2390861-5421624?%5Fencoding=UTF8). You can even listen to a sample of them before buying.

Just listened to both sets. I think album one is more meditative. Second album appears a little more up tempo.
