Under the themes of pushing the envelope and breaking out of one’s shell, four Zipeast artists contributed a few of their strongest works on this compilation album “Cross Echoes”. Kamimura's fantastic world of Japanese nostalgia subverts the convention of Japanese song production.Kitano’s free-wheeling flexibility as a guitarist reveals an extremely delicate side of his sensibility previously unknown. Murata’s delicate oriental spiritualism deepens the dialogue with himself. Inoue’s virtuoso-like technique defies the preconceived notion of electric guitar playing. Each composer’s musical originality and ambition are greatly featured on this album. Its ambient/new age sound echoes are spreading in every direction, crossing with each other with infinite variations.
