Spiritual Garden is an album by Kitarō, inspired by the Harupin-Ha Butoh Dance of Koichi Tamano. It also features Kitaro's first collaboration with wife, Keiko Takahashi.



Always breaking new ground and constantly blurring the lines between musical genres, Kitaro's new release, Spiritual Garden is inspired by the Harupin-Ha Butoh Dance of Koichi Tamano.  It follows Kitaro's vision first visited by the artist on his Tamayura DVD.

Unique to this project is Kitaro's collaboration with wife, Keiko.  Performing with her for the very first time on CD, Spiritual Garden is a collection of all-new music inspired by the Butoh dance, brilliantly and expertly executed by the 12 time Grammy nominated artist.

After only two volumes, Kitaro has taken a break from his Sacred Journey of Ku-Kai series, based on his travels to the 88 temples of Shikoku. Those temple journeys must have been tiring, because Spiritual Garden is Kitaro at his laziest and haziest. It's not just the somnambulant melodies, predictable sample-and-hold gurgles, and whooping Korg synthesizer lines that make it uninspired. Kitaro himself seems bored, barely bothered to develop anything beyond rudimentary pentatonic scales, crudely arranged drone pads, and tinkling bells. In the 1970s, Kitaro brought melody to space music and carried that through to ambitious works of orchestral world music on albums like 1990's Kojiki. But to listen to Spiritual Garden is to hear someone for whom time is moving backwards, oblivious to more than the quarter century of space, new age, and ambient music released since his debut. Whether it's the Pink Floyd space guitar at the end of "Sunlight Dancing" or the native flute, acoustic guitar, and burbling brook of "Wind and Water," Kitaro is locked in a parody of new age music, his early inspiration now worn into cliché. Fans of the synthesist should find a lot of familiar territory here, and well they should. The same music is already in their Kitaro collection.
