Sacred Journey Of Ku-kai, Vol. 4

"Kitaro's style is the epitome of the contemplative, highly melodic synthesizer music." -- VH1.com

"Kitaro sculpts a music that balances between pastoral and deep space environments, desert flute melodies and arcing synthesizer solos. Sacred Journey of Ku-kai retains the classic Kitaro sound of the 1980s but is played now with a renewed spirit." -- John Diliberto, Billboard

* The fourth volume in a collection of albums inspired by the classic Buddhist pilgrimage to the 88 temples of the Japanese island Shikoku, ancestral home of the beloved Buddhist holy man Ku-kai.
* Each track on this album revolves around the unique bell sound from each temple, using actual sampling and Kitaro's inspired musical interpretations and distillations of their essences. Volume four breaks new ground with the addition of violinist Steve Kindler (member of The Honolulu Symphony, and former member of John McLaughlin's fusion band).
* Grammy and Golden Globe winner Kitaro has garnered global acclaim over a three-decade career as a composer and musician of sound collaborations and resonant compositions. Kitaro's atmospheric, powerfully emotive, and multi-textured music truly defies the constraints of any genre.
