This album is a masterpiece in which the three core pillars of Akira Ishikawa’s musical vision—jazz, rock, and African music—are fused in a sublime and thrilling balance. One arresting track follows another: the solemn and majestic 'Prayer', evoking the eternal land; the clear yet subtly psychedelic 'Dawn'; the serene and beautiful 'Love'; and the highly dynamic, explosive 'Jumbo'. The brilliance of Hirmasa Suzuki’s arrangements deserves special mention—simple yet profoundly deep, they give vivid clarity to the album’s overall concept and imagery. Among Ishikawa’s serious, non–instrumental-cover works, this album stands shoulder to shoulder with Electrum, Bakishinba, and Uganda, and should be regarded as one of his definitive achievements.\" - Tokuma Japan Communications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eclear colored vinyl (\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eplease note\u003c\/span\u003e: actual pressing color and packaging may differ from mock-up photo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehigh-quality Japan import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes obi strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1971\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Tokuma Japan Communications 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!---PREORDER START---\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"preorder-module\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"preorder\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"preorderpolicy\"\u003ePre-Order Policy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you want to order additional items (\u003cb\u003eincluding other pre-orders\u003c\/b\u003e), please make separate orders.
