Kitaro Artist Snapshot:

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.

Title Note

Personnel includes: Kitaro; Hiroshi Araki.

Recorded at Kitaro's studio, Yasaka, Japan.

Digitally remastered by Doug Sax (The Mastering Lab).

One of the leading lights of the late-1970s/early-'80s New Age movement, Kitaro (aka Masanori Takahasi) is well-represented by this two-disc overview of his early solo work, which finds the Japanese keyboardist notably influenced by the synthesizer innovations of Klaus Schulze. Highlights of this instrumental compilation include the lullaby-like "Shimmering Horizon" and "Theme from Silk Road," a gentle piece from Kitaro's renowned SILK ROAD SUITE, along with the ornate, slightly more upbeat "Oasis" and the percussive "God of Thunder." While many Kitaro compilations have followed this 16-track offering, few cover the composer's formative solo material as deftly as THE BEST OF TEN YEARS.
