Having just watched Kitaro's concert on pbs, all I can say is that now I have a better idea of what the music must sound like in any place of perfect Light and Being. In fact, with the concert playing softly in the background, I watched everyone in my home who was within earshot of Kitaro's performance become calmer and kinder toward each other, even if they were not actively paying attention to what they were hearing. If you want to own beautiful music that is great as either gentle background music, or as something you are more actively listening to and relaxing to, this is it. So peaceful, so healing, so hauntingly beautiful that it stirs the hearts and souls of all who listen.

First listened to Kitaro in the 80's wore out the "tapes". More recently purchased the " Light of the Spirit" and was very disappointed with the choppy feeling, the pieces did not seem as full or rich as I had first heard so long ago. This performance Daylight Moonlight: Kitaro Live in Yakushiji has the qualities of the earlier Kitaro I so enjoyed. I sometimes listen to music while I paint, and find that I really hear the music deeply as my "chattering" logical brain quietens and my creative right brain really hears!

I have been a lifelong fan of jazz and bigband music, This is the best record in the genre I know! Fantastic stuff!
