The Light Of The Spirit by Kitaro was originally released in 1987. It’s known for its tranquil, spiritual, and atmospheric sound, which blends elements of traditional Japanese music with electronic and new age influences. The album is one of Kitaro’s most iconic works, receiving widespread acclaim for its calming, meditative qualities.

The music on The Light of the Spirit takes the listener on a journey, evoking a sense of peace and connection with nature and the universe. Kitaro’s use of synthesizers, flutes, and percussion instruments gives the album a rich, textured sound that feels both ancient and modern. It also reflects themes of spirituality and human experience, with the title itself suggesting a quest for enlightenment and inner peace.

In 1988, “The Field” received a Grammy nomination for Best New Age Performance.  It became Kitaro’s first nomination by the Recording Academy and this milestone was widely recognized as a significant contribution to the New Age music genre. 

This album was remastered from the original audio recordings.
