You know an artist is over the hill, when he/she has more greatest hits albums than he/she does other albums. I didn't imagine that a greatest hits album would ever be less good than the originals. But, this one is a disappointment. Some of the music is very good. But none of it (it would seem) is taken off the original albums. The cover says "remastered." That would seem to mean reorchestrated and reperformed, often at a dreary slow speed, with added Kitaro glissandos. Some greatest hits albums (perhaps some of Kitaro's) are amazing. I am a Kitaro fan; and this album is not good, in my opinion.
