Anyone like Kitaro? (Anyone heard of Kitaro? Japanese New Age music.)

I love Kitaro! He's awesome. Whenever I hear his stuff, I get to watch a story unwind in my head.
It also enhances anything I might be working on, like a painting or a drawing. I wish I had some of his stuff in my CD collection, but I wore out all my tapes. :(

He composed the score for a Chinese film called Homecming, around 83/84. Great film, but nobody outside Hong Kong seems to have heard of it.

Yep, I've heard of Kitaro. I did listen to him for a bit, but given the control music has over my moods I couldn't for long. He has some pretty powerful stuff, powerful feeling put into it, and it was just too much for me. I don't know if that makes any sense, but it's true...

I've heard of Kitaro, but I haven't had the chance of listening to his music.

It would be interesting listening to Kitaro's music, where can I find his music?

I've heard of him and I don't know much of his music. The only thing that I've listened to is his score for the Vietnamese movie, Heaven & Earth. It's beautiful.
