Released November 11, 2005.

Akoostic Sessions was born out of Koo Chung's yearning for a bit of simplicity in his busy life as a producer, recording artist, and, most recently, guitar teacher (Akoostics 101 Instructional Video). Although not originally intended as anything more than a stress- relieving project, Akoostic Sessions may be Koo's most brilliant and honest musical work to date. The record has a raw and sincere feeling absent from many other streamlined music industry productions. The songs are not just pared-down versions of Koo's older works, but actual remakes, with different arrangements and tempo changes that make them sometimes unrecognizable from their original forms. The album was created using only a smattering of instruments and a few basic recording tools. Koo's skills and emotion on acoustic guitar are at the forefront, and the recordings often leave the listener wondering how those sounds could possibly have been produced using only an acoustic guitar and an egg shaker.

Ani DiFranco once wrote that "people used to make records/as in the record of an event/the event of people playing music in a room." Koo Chung has achieved precisely that with this project. The recordings are unprocessed and allowed to be events of musical performance. The album was recorded in a New York City apartment during the summer, with the windows open to escape the heat. If you listen closely, you will occasionally hear Manhattan traffic drifting up from the street in the background. Akoostic Sessions is a beautifully candid record that allows the listener to breathe deeply and appreciate the realness of the music.

Review by P for Koo Chung : Parallel 2006-06-17
Just like everyone else has said, Koo just keeps getting better and better. I'd love to hear him on my radio while I'm driving to work.

Review by Tracy for Koo Chung : Parallel 2006-06-15
I have all of Koo's CD's, and they just keep getting better! I'm just blown away by the creativity and fine music this young man keeps producing. Never have I listened to an artist that produces a great album, EVERYTIME! This CD seems more rock sounding, but in a very good way. To me, it sounds very much like Jars of Clay, but done the Koo way, which is Kool! If you have any of his older stuff, and felt it was too acoustic for you, then get this CD. You will NOT be disappointed!

Review by Libby for Koo Chung : Parallel 2006-06-06
Koo's albums just keep getting better and better. Parallel is my new favorite! Through this album Koo shares with us the struggles that I believe many of us go through, Christian or not, but ultimately reveals the victory that we have in Jesus. It is an album that is encouragement to anyone. Pick up a copy for yourself and a few extra for friends. It's great music to share! :-)

Get this Cd. As a fellow musician myself i draw my influence from true musicans who value thier heart felt lyrics and passionate music. And I can honestly say that Koo chung is one of my favorite artist. If you like raw acoustic feel then koo chung is your man!!

Review by Rose for Koo Chung : Akoostic Sessions 2005-12-08
WOW - how much more honest and real can it get? This is "music in the raw" and I love it! Wonderful- just wonderful!!

Review by cate for Koo Chung : Akoostic Sessions 2005-12-04
Okay so I have to admit that I played While We Wait SOOOO many times this past year that I had to take a break. So I was ecstatic when Akoostics came out. This alb takes a fresh twist on all of our favorite koosongs so it's back to kooland again! Thanks dude!!

Review by for Koo Chung : Akoostic Sessions 2005-12-02
KOO is fun to catch in a live and intimate venue. Here in San Francisco, he played a big show at my church one summer, and rawked the house so loud that the cops had to come. Then he came back and did a "living room" show at a Church in El Cerrito. Quiet, intimate, and personal. That's what you'll get on AKOOSTIC SESSIONS. And if you're in need of more, I'm sure he's recording some stuff in Nashville right now that'll rawk your sox off, too. Look for it on round 3!

Review by Dark Siren for Koo Chung : Akoostic Sessions 2005-12-02
Completely unexpected and left speechless. Koo's art is inspiring.
