There's no denying that Kitaro is one of the heavyweights of the new age genre. His oriental-tinged synthesizer symphonics have been enchanting listeners for nearly a quarter of a century. BEST OF TEN YEARS is a two CD retrospective that takes a look at Kitaro's first decade as a recording artist, which spans from 1976-1986. Of course, the music here is full of the artist's compositional grandeur, with all the drama and melodic potency you've come to expect. Among some of the highlights are "Theme from the Silk Road," which is arguably his greatest hit, as well as "Cosmic Love," "Oasis," "Aqua" and many others.
