Performer: Kitaro
Distributor: IDN Distribution Notes: Kitaro has always been an album-oriented artist. Even his now-fabled Silk Road series took two albums to complete. The sequencing and editing of these pieces were done with great care and precision, offering the listener a complete Kitaro sound experience. ~ Thom Jurek
Born Masanori Takahashi, Japanese keyboard wizard Kitaro first came to prominence in the early 1970s as a member of the band Far Out, which would quickly change its name to Far East Family Band, one of Japan's first and most legendary psychedelic groups. On his own, Kitaro produces pioneering New Age synthesizer music that is atmospheric and meditative, with simple melodies unfolding at unhurried tempos. His world-famous TV soundtrack SILK ROAD led to soundtracks for other films and even a Broadway show, in addition to numerous successful Kitaro albums proper.
