Free Music Review: Light of the Spirit
Hit: 3 Stars
This CD is not what was expected. It is not quite as consistant as Kitaro's music on satillite radio. It is good and easy to listen to. It is fairly good to relax to as well. Some of the music on this CD is not as relaxing as others.Free Music Review: Dissenting opinion
Hit: 2 Stars
I bought this album based on the reviews AND because I LOVE Kitaro.The first time I listened to it, I thought I had put on the wrong CD. Track #1, "Mysterious Encounter," scared my cat!
Where is that lovely dreamlike quality that really DOES transport me? This sounded like bad movie sound track music: over-orchestrated, overblown and discordant. I was very disappointed.
Free Music Review: One of the worst records I have!
Hit: 1 Stars
I bought this cd because I was quite interested in what Kitaro was doing, specially in his earlier worldly music albums
such as Ten Kai or From the Full Moon Story, all of which I think they could be his best releases (including the music for Silk Road). They had some ethnical elements that sounded pretty good mixed with the technology of late seventies and made an unique and very personal sound that I find very interesting.
But what I found in The Light of Spirit was a collection of sad, tasteless even frightening songs with a poor and very easy, if not strange, arrangement (think about those electric guitars with a rock mood). All the themes fall in the easy listening that lovers of new-age seem to enjoy and nothing or very little of that ehtnical element remains here. Sun Dance, for example, tries to impress the listener with great sound but only the intention remains as Kitaro, sadly, has so much songs sounding like it along his carreer with Geffen Records.
