2008 - Kitaro - The Definitive Collection !!

While listening to music by Japanese-born, US-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Kitar, it is hard to believe he started out as a rock musician, inspired by the rhythm and blues of Otis Redding and by playing guitar, bass and drums in high school bands. In the early 1970s he changed completely to keyboards, joining the Far East Family Band. A meeting with established guru of the electronic music scene, Klaus Schulze, who gave Kitaro some tips for the use of synthesizers, might have had an impact on Kitaro's decision to start his solo career in 1977. He eventually achieved fame as a composer and performer of "atmospheric" electronic music. This collection may or may not be "definitive," but provides a quick look at Kitaro's career, with tracks taken from several albums, as well as The Best of Ten Years (1976 - 1986) collection.
