Asahi - The Rising Sun. 1978 Netherlands

Apparently this was sponsored by the Asahi Optical Company for a multi-vision show presented throughout The Netherlands. It's in effect a proto New Age music with flutes, piano, percussion, organ, etc... Like most 70s albums in this field, it's much rawer than the slick gloss that followed throughout the 1980s and beyond. As would be expected, the flow is very much like a soundtrack album. At its best, one can hear the pastoral folk sounds of Quebec (Connivence, Harmonium). At its worst... well it's borderline easy listening music honestly.
