Customer Reviews

Great Album!!

This album is awesome! If you don't know, this album was created for a modern day opera by internationally well-known Chinese director, Zhang Yimou (who was the director for movie "Hero" and "Curse of the Golden Flower"). I especially love track 5 that Kitaro collaborated with the Chinese pop star Jane Zhang. It's so beautiful..... This album was nominated for Grammy Awards as Best New Age Album of the Year. If you are into New Age music as I am, this album is must-to-have item!!

Feel so good!

I feel strong affinity of god with listening his music.
He is an amazing artist in the world.

I have been writing programs all of today. This album has allowed me to focus on what I have been doing. It has not been a distraction!
