• Originally released in 1980

Violinist, composer and arranger Hiroki Tamaki presents a majestic musical tapestry inspired by the teachings of Indian spiritual philosopher Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Layering his own vocals in rich harmonies and intertwining them with the ethereal synthesizer work of Fumitaka Anzai (known for TPO and Urusei Yatsura), Tamaki constructs a soundscape imbued with mysticism and spiritual balance.

The album includes progressive rock-influenced pieces such as “The Songs of Mahamudra” and “Meditation,” alongside hidden Japanese acid folk gems like “River” and “Beautiful Song,” both selected for the acclaimed Nippon Acid Folk 1970–1980 (Time Capsule) compilation. A rare and visionary work that bridges cosmic philosophy and musical experimentation.
