Comments
This is an excellent project that summarizes the great achievements of a genius who ran through the music world at the end of the 20th century with three masterpieces. It is a work of Maki Ishii filled with a burning spiritual dynamism. The whole body is wrapped in a powerful vortex of sound. In the second song played by Jun Sugawara, the blending rhythm strikes the listener's soul and shakes the mind. ★

Comments
A collection of works by Maki Ishii, who died in 2003 at the age of 66. It features a lively rhythm, a strong timbre and an overwhelming burst of energy. It is impressive for the "encounter" which was the splendid fruit of the fusion of Japan and the West in later years.
