about

“Heikan no Setsu” was the second recording by The Gateless Gate. The album was made entirely with vocal sounds (with the exception of the two bonus tracks on this release, which contain some mellotron sounds). The recording was inspired by The Gateless Gate's practice of Zen Buddhism and was influenced by such artists as David Hykes and the Harmonic Choir, Dead Can Dance, Stephan Micus and Popol Vuh.

This is a completely remixed and remastered, improved version of the original album. There was no artificial pitch-shifting of vocal sounds on this recording.

The title is taken from the title of a collection of haiku by Bashō and translates as "On Seclusion".

EUPHORIA
by FUJII

This album does have sounds similar to HOME, but the lovely use of breakbeat in combination w/ the relaxed House-style synths makes for one of our favourite albums of all time. Girly Girl Musik
