I was intoduced to the music of Kitaro while serving in Okinawa, Japan as a Navy Hospital Corpsman back in the early 1980s. At that time Kitaro Silk Road Music was only available in the old fashioned record form. My friend had a copy and recorded from it on audiocasette for me. Of course the quality was not the best but I never forgot the music which had the power of bringing tears to my eyes. I will always associate it with the island of Okinawa. My father used to call it "wind music" and indeed one can understand why. This part of the music is reminiscent of the many typhoons which used to plague the island. But after the storm the place was simply beautiful. There were amazing sunsets to behold while living near the water. The music has such a quality of emiting emotions from your soul. I see it as a real catharsis and it hold close to me. I cannot recall the exact name of the album from which I first heard Kitaro but after ordering this CD the music on it is very familiar so I believe this was the one. Anyway I strongly recommend it as a most beautiful form of music.

A good album. If you like the theme from The Silk Road, you could also purchase the original video of The Silk Road produced by NHK TV Japan. Kitaro's music is soothing and an excellent accessory to meditation.

I got hooked on this mans music years ago. He seems to take you on a voyage for the listening time of the album...seller price was good and it had come in case and booklet in tact. what more would you want from your seller ...

The CD was fine--the case was broken. You need to review your packaging system.

I'm a Kitaro fan no matter how good or not so good his albums are
