4.0 out of 5 stars CD reissue of a good LP, November 11, 1999
Budget labels like Laserlight can be a real mixed bag, sometimes the worst touristy garbage, but sometimes high quality music originally issued by smaller independent labels. This album was originally issued as Everest 3206 - "Classical Japanese Koto Music", probably 30+ years ago. This is one of Laserlight's bargains.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spaced-Out Japanese, December 17, 2008
If you ever wondered about that strange music in Japanese mystery films, this is it. The Zumi-Kai Instrumental Group has a sound that can be described as 'spaced-out' and very abstract. This recording brings the higher end of Japanese culture and gives it a push into the future. For this is traditional music that will last into the coming centuries. There are five compositions averaging over 9 minutes apiece. These lengthy, intense tunes extend out in blissful atonality. Great for an evening of relaxation, a dinner party, or just meditating on life. Reflection is the mood, peace the goal in this serious set of music.
