Kitaro

The Definitive Kitaro Collection is anything but. The New Age icon has released a zillion albums, yet this CD contains just 10 tracks. Then again, a sampler like this provides the best opportunity for the uninitiated. Influenced by both 1970s electronic music and Japanese classical, Kitaro creates soundscapes that are smooth, relaxing and sometimes playful in a light manner. That's why you can hear his laid-back jammers in nearly every massage therapy and Reiki office on earth. Peace.
