Complete your Osamu Kitajima collection. Previously mainstream radio in the 80s and beyond played zero/nil world influenced music! The Source is a beautiful album with very lengthy tracks that comes across more as a concept album that a few loosely conjured up compositions. What does the listener receive for their open mind and a slice of precious time? A wonderfully accomplished album that combines trad.

Osamu Kitajima ‎– The Source. Label: CBS ‎– MK 42239. Format: CD, Album, Repress. Country: USA & Canada. Percussion – Michael Fisher. Photography By – Joel Zimmerman (2).

Osamu Kitajima - The Source First released in the USA in 1984. 1. Heavensent - 0:00 2. Thru Cosmic Doors - 25:12 3. Eye To I - 37:35. Probably not as well-known as Kitajima's other albums ("Masterless Samurai" and "Benzaiten"), still a great ambient album.

Osamu Kitajima (喜多嶋 修), also known by the pseudonym Justin Heathcliff, is a Japanese musician, producer, composer, and multi‑instrumentalist. After studying the classical guitar and the piano as a child, in the 1960s Kitajima was a member of his cousin Yūzō Kayama's band The Launchers.

I think this is an Osamu Kitajima album that I have grown to like. Released in 1984 after such innovative early albums as 'Benzaiten' (1976) and 'Masterless Samurai' (1980), 'The Source' has the beginnings of what would later be considered the ‘sound’ of Osamu in such refined masterpieces as 'Behind the Light' (1992) and 'Over the Brink' (2014).
