Akira Itoh "Buddha"(1983,Japanese prog)

Akira Itoh "Buddha"(1983)

Osamu Tezuka is one of the most famous Japanese manga(comic) artists in the world.
"Buddha" is one of the epics among his mangas.He described Budda's life in his manga.
As you know,Buddha is the guru of Buddhism.
Akira Itoh is a keyboard player ,and he is famous as the member of Far Out & Far East Family Band.
He made this album inspired by the manga "Buddha".
First,when I found this album,in fact,I thought that it was boring.
Because  Akira Itoh made a lot of New Age albums and they were boring for me.
However,
I was surprised when I heard  it for the first time.
Because it is the brilliant prog rock!!!!
This album is a concept album,and between tracks and tracks are not separated.
FLAC files are not separated(I don't know how to cut the files of FLAC)
But mp3 files are separated.(I know how to cut mp3)
Enjoy as you like !!!

Since May 28th,they can watch the anime  movie "Buddha"(original manga  by Osamu Tezuka)at the movie theaters in Japan,but no relation with this album by Akira Itoh.

For those that haven't heard yet, the song "Close to the Edge" by Yes (which, I think, is brilliant!) is also something similar... it's inspired by the book "Siddhartha" by Herman Hesse.

Hi Shige, many thanks for the album.
Flac or Ape audio is great!

btw, if you want to separating a lossles files
you can use a freeware program called "CUE SPLITER"
just DL from http://www.medieval.it

i love lossless audio, but I hate almost all lossles files is not physically splited by tracks.
Well, Cue Spliter is the answer.

Cheers!

Mit said...

Hi,Anonymous.
Great advice.
I will challenge with Cue Spliter at once .
When I complete the splited files of "Buddha"
I will show them here again.
Mega thanks !!!
