Happy Birthday Mr. Hisaishi!

Today is the birthday of my favourite composer Joe Hisaishi.
Here is a list of my personal favourite CDs by the master:

1) Howl's Moving Castle
2) Kikujiro
3) My Neighbor Totoro
4) Piano Stories III
5) Kiki's Delivery Service
6) Works III
7) Spirited Away
8) Piano Stories II
9) Porco Rosso
10) Everything else

Hard to rate them. My top 10 could change at any time depending on my mood. So much good stuff. Go to Streaming Soundtracks to listen to some of his stuff. Just register on the site and request one of his many songs in the database.

If you are looking to buy some of his stuff and don't want to pay import prices these are two great sites that sell cheap (legit) CDs. Korea puts out a good amount of his works at a fraction of the price. Shipping for these 2 sites is even better than most North American. It may take a little longer but it is worth it!
