Details: Kitaro (b. 1953), "The Light of the Spirit." Geffen, 1987. Total time: 48:45.
Kitaro is a longtime composer, musician and performer in the genre of new age technology music.
This is a good example of what I call 80sphere -- the atmospheric sound of the late 1980s. This is a good one for Spirit Sunday.
I was first introduced to this Japanese musician's great talents at University Hospital in Madison. My brother Michael was given a copy of a radio program in the longrunning "Hearts of Space" weekly series that is still going today. A nurse gave it to him to help with pain management.
During one visit my brother (who was a remarkable musician on the piano, cello and voice) insisted I take his headphones to hear what he was listening to and enthralled with -- it was Kitaro, a track from a different album I think. Anyway, as the radio program title says, the music sounded like a heart of space...majestic, celestial.
