5.0 out of 5 stars Where is this CD? It's smooth fusion jazz!, August 22, 2004

Where can this CD be bought? Since this CD pretty well defined the sound of Hiroshima at its inception, it's a shame that it can't be purchased. Every jazz group has always had a defining recording that makes it stand out from the mainstream and I believe this CD will always have a place in most smooth jazz fan's CD libraries. This combination of japanese instruments with jazz/pop sound is unique and refreshing regardless of how aged the recording!!

This is the album that introduced me to the wonderful, exotic and breathtaking music of Hiroshima. When I heard this album in 1980, I had to buy it. The track 'warriors' was played to death. Infact, I have two copies on vinyl, because the first copy was always being played on the turntable. I became a big fan after this encounter, and have all their albums to date. If you buy this album, you will be one of the very few people on the planet to own a rare gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond a mere 5 stars!!!, May 17, 2005

It was 1981 and I was a mere teenager, 16 years old to be exact, surrounded by much older siblings..and thank goodness for that..because I was exposed to some great, great music! When my oldest sister played this album at a family gathering, I was immediately smitten, so much so, I took money from college savings and bought this album. So when it was re-issued on CD, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I ordered it as import and have been playing it ever since! The title cut is so delicious to the ear, it just jumps out and grab ya!

The entire project has something for everyone..it crosses the board! But my favorite cuts are the sublime, smooth, mellow "Shinto" and the enriched, elevated vocals of "All I want." When most of my teen friends were listening to "pop" flavored and watered down "R&B" music, I was grooving to the sounds of this album! There were those that didn't get it...and I felt sorry for them then, and I still offer my sympathies if after all these years, they haven't caught on to this bowlful of bountiful bliss! Treat yourself to some classic Hiroshima...
