Review by Bobpaule February 24, 2008 (4 of 5 found this review helpful)
Performance:  Sonics (MC):
This is on the Oppo-DSD/HDMI-Yamaha3800 (pure direct one step DSD/waveform conversion)-monoblocks and Paradigm Reference v.2 complete system with the Servo-15 20Hz LFE in place.

Pure enjoyment, reading the insert while listening you discover that the different bells and ambience are actually from the different places that the monk Ku-Kai built temples, as a believer (Christian here) you get an understanding about how deep the faith of this man who lived 1000 years ago was, the pieces transport you in another time and place, the best relaxation music in a long time. Transcendance is what comes to mind, it is like an audio Gattaca (movie, shavers and hats from 50ies mixed with space age technology takes viewers out of time, literally).

The sound is pure and reminescent of other SACD gems like BIA and DSOM, or Avalon.

I am not a critic, but i can tell this one will become a classic very soon.

Oh, did i say i just ordered two more Kitaro albums?
