all songs written and arranged by KITARO

If listening to each songs on this album one by one, obviously this album has the same musical direction as last studio recording album SILVER CLOUD. There are many simply arranged songs, also there are KITARO-san's typical melodies. But something is different...what is it???

The answer is... "KITARO-san's typical flow represented through an album" is too weak. In most cases in KITARO-san's albums, most of all the songs are connected with both previous song and next song, and has no blank between the songs. This acts an important role in "KITARO-san's typical flow represented through an album", and also this makes the listeners to feel "KITARO-san's typical flow represented through an album" easier. But this album has no aspects like this. This album leaves the impression that the song order has no intention. For example, the very first few seconds of the opening tune has no impression of the beginning of KITARO-san's album, which can be felt usually in the opening moment of "KITARO-san's typical flow represented through an album". This album's atmosphere is obviously different form usual.

In fact, it is said that this album was made without KITARO-san's will. Believe it or not, some songs don't sound like being mixed by KITARO-san himself. And also, inclusion of "DREAMER" is never usual, because this song was already released as B side of the single "NOAH'S ARK" in the period when last album SILVER CLOUD was released, and this is never KITARO-san's usual way to release his music. And also it is never natural in KITARO-san's case that the title "DREAMER" was changed to "UTOPIA". Comparing to the songs on other albums, this album has no particularly better song and has no important repertoire. This is the album to hear in case you want to hear more after listening to all other albums.
