This artist is known as a pioneer of healing music. His synthesizer sounds and unique atmosphere soothe the soul.
This is the soundtrack for the NHK documentary program "Silk Road" released in 1980. This program sparked a Silk Road boom, and this album was also a big hit.
The entire album is performed using overdubbed synthesizers, and the majestic yet simple melody that evokes the feeling of timelessness soothes the soul. Electronic music that makes full use of synthesizers was innovative at the time, and this work became a representative work that made Kitaro an artist known to the world.
