The themes are continued in Silk Road II; both recordings are tastefully reserved-especially compared with the bombastic electronic orchestrations that mar many of Kitaro's later efforts. Silk Road 2 was originally part of a double album called Silk Road (there is a Part 1 too). So if you want the full experience you will need to get the first one as well. So if you have to pick one this is it. I believe this music was part of the documentary series The Silk Road: The Rise And Fall Of Civilizations. Silk Road (1&2) by Kitaro remains, to me, his best recorded work and with a genius like Kitaro that's saying something. The sound quality on this digital remaster is excellent.

The Silk Road: The Rise And Fall Of Civilizations is an NHK Tokushu documentary series that first aired on 7 April 1980, with sequels being broadcast over a 10-year period. It took a total of 17 years from conception to complete what many consider a landmark in Japan's broadcasting television history. The intention of the program was to reveal how ancient Japan was influenced by the Silk Road trade route. List of ambient music artists.

It can be easy to dismiss a Kitaro album as more "new age fluff. Silk Road, Vol. 2 is the second collection from Kitaro's soundtracks for the Japanese television series of the same name. Kitaro approaches his craft tenderly and lovingly and it shows in his gentle touch. The ebb and flow of these pieces is warm and friendly
