In the latest B5 Magazine (US), they were asking people involved with
B5, including yourself, what their musical-tastes were.  You said that
you like a group called Kodo.  I have never heard of them--what kind of
music do they perform?

You also said you like Meatloaf.  When Bat Out of Hell first came out, I
was in high school, I think, & I was on this anti-rock kick (I was into
stuff like new wave & disco).  So of course I dismissed Meatloaf right
away.  I heard Bat Out of Hell again recently, & I thought, Hey, this
isn't bad!  Just goes to show how much your music-tastes can change when
you've been out of school for awhile.

I also liked Meatloaf in Rocky Horror Picture Show--he was great!

It's KODO, all caps, and they're a Japanese...I don't know if group is the
right word, collective?...bunch who use Kodo drums and similar massive drums
for traditional Japanese music of the kind that gets the blood moving.

For a newcomer to that kind of music, I suggest SAI-SO, their latest which is
actually a remix of their Iridori album by Western DJ/mixer guys.

If you just want to jump in, get their Live at the Acropolis CD...it's fucking
brilliant.
