"Made in JAP in 2001, Serial# BVCP-27015~6, Playing Time 87:58This 2-disc set is NOT the japanese equivalent of the "Ancient" album.The music here is more in the direction he's used for the "Gaia" album than "Thinking Of You"; there's some occasional chanting and some flute here and there, and KITARO's keyboards and sound textures are as recognizable as ever.Relaxing, but not as transporting as earlier albums "Oasis" or "Silver Cloud". I was also disappointed that the total playing time of the 2 discs barely exceeds the capacity of a single disc: I could have lived without 2 tracks in order to fit on 1 record, which would have reduced the price of this japanese import significantly.This is typical 90's KITARO, and not one of my favorites. I would suggest you wait a while to see if this will get a US release."
