A magician of the electric violin. A grand fusion piece with a progressive rock-like development.
This is a masterpiece by a violinist who established his own fusion sound after playing in a famous fusion band. The fusion of synthesizers and electric violin creates a sense of cosmic scale.
The complex song structure reminiscent of progressive rock, the mysterious sound of the synthesizer, and the flowing melodies of the violin resonate, inviting the listener into a magnificent musical journey. The elaborate sound design clearly separates the sound images of the violin and synthesizer, maximizing the spatial expanse of the songs. This album solidified his international popularity. The well-balanced arrangement of long songs with suite-like structures and short, catchy instrumentals creates a flow that never tires of listening.
