Kitaro

Artist: Kitaro
P: 1981
The instrumentation on this album is heavy on the analog synths and the dreamy, soft soundscapes that would not be out of place on a Tangerine Dream or (especially) Vangelis album from 1977 - 1979 are everywhere on Tun Huang (aka Silk Road 3). I would also throw 1975 Pink Floyd in there too, but that might be stretching it a bit...but not much I might add. The analog synthesizers used by Kitaro include instruments by Roland, Prophet (Prophet V), and Moog (mostly mini-moog), along with the mellotron - everything sounds incredibly warm and organic. Kitaro is also quite the multi-instrumentalist and plays a full drum kit and percussion on a few tracks, along with the sitar (on Lord of the Sand only), tabra, acoustic guitar, chanting bell, and wind chime. Joining Kitaro on this album is violinist Yasuo Kojima - he contributes some excellent playing.

Zen - Live In Katsuyama was recorded in November 2023 at the Daishizan Seidai-ji Temple in Fukui, Japan. The performance by Kitaro and his ensemble commemorated the 35th anniversary of the temple's founding. The concert features Kitaro's most acclaimed and well-known compositions as well as rarely played classics. The most striking feature of the temple, also known as Echizen Daibutsu, is a 17-meter statue of Birushana Nyorai, one of the earliest Buddhist deities to arrive in Japan in the 6th century. The statue is commonly referred to as the Great Buddha of Echizen and is the tallest seated Buddha statue in Japan. The Buddha is flanked by four standing Bodhisattva statues, all of which are surrounded by over a thousand smaller stone statues. The five-storied pagoda that sits adjacent to the temple is also the tallest of its kind in Japan. For years, visitors have enjoyed breathtaking and impressive panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and mountainside from these buildings. The accompanying DVD contains stunning footage of the temple, its surrounding grounds and Kitaro's live performance staged in front of the Great Buddha statue. As Kitaro notes, "For many years, I have always strived to create a memorable and exciting spiritual live concert experience with breathtaking visuals. For this performance, my intention was to delve deeper into my past and include music that I have not performed anywhere previously. I am grateful and appreciative to those in my audiences that have supported me throughout many decades. This performance reflects my heartfelt delight and appreciation of those many years and many enthusiastic audiences.

This compilation is from the artists of the DOMO label around 1998.
The first cut is typical "Space Music" from Kitaro, with lots of zingy synthesizer. It's pleasant, and has a sort of Japanese folk-tune undertone with generic World Music style drumming. Hard to describe, but very enjoyable to listen to.
The variations on the CD take you from Asia to Outer Space, but always pleasantly so. It's a nice mix.

This is a nice collection of new and old electronic music artists from the beginning of the 90s.
Just a good selection of all the CUE-Records titles of that time.

Here the last copy!
