Title: Neptune is better than this
Review: I have seen John Kaizan Neptune in concert and this recording is below his standards. He can swing with jazz, even better than in his CD "JazZen", and he perform classical shakuhachi works with flare, hinted at in his duet with koto in the CD "Prime Numbers". Unfortunately, he can also plunge into banal, New Age improvisations also. "Asian Roots" is light weight. More interesting percussion may be found with Yas-Kaz's works of the 1980s. I suggest you pass on this recording and explore many of Neptune's other works.
