TOWARD THE WEST
This album was Kitaro’s first studio recording in two years, released
in February 1986. Kitaro’s album Light of the Spirit was
soon to follow one year later with the Grammy award for the single track “The
Field”.
The music Kitaro composed for this album was inspired by a significant
change in direction toward the west while the NHK crew were filming
for the “Silk Road Journey” television series. The music
also reflects the hardships and peace they encountered along the way,
their
connection without time, and their seemingly auspicious endless journey.
The
album was available in LP, CD and cassette. However, this album was
remastered on CD in 1998 and released as ‘Endress
(Endless) Journey’.
For an update on Kitaro’s current musical themes of journeys, please
see Ancient, An
Ancient Journey, and Sacred Journey of Ku-kai. Also see
Kitaro.us for his most recent pilgrimage to 88 sacred places. As Kitaro’s
states, “ This will be my life’s work from now on….” |
