- Tenkujin was the final album for Far East Family Band. After the Klaus Schulze style of electronic experimentations of Parallel World, the band decided to go back to the earlier sound, concentrating, once again, on ballads. The album opens up with a synth experiment called “Descension” before seguing in to the wonderful title track. This piece has vocals in Japanese, with great guitar and spacy synthesizers. “Timeless Phase” is a Pink Floyd-like ballad with more than a passing resemblance to The Dark Side of the Moon. It also features some cheesy strings that threw me off. “Nagare” and “From Far East” are more of the typical ballads found here, with the occasional Japanese influences (koto, shakuhachi). These songs are sung partly in English and in Japanese. Unfortunately the album bottoms out with the awful “Ascension”. It’s a rather cheesy instrumental piece sticking too close to that dreaded New Age style
