The CD's liner notes define satori as "the indescribable experience of sudden, intuitive spiritual realization." That may be, yet unless you are a serious student of yoga or a fan of its ancient musical traditions, you may struggle to reach such a state while listening to these improvisations for shakuhachi flute (Riley Lee) and koto (Gabriel Lee, no relation). The recording's mood is almost somber and contrasts noticeably with Oriental Sunrise and Sanctuary, two splendid Riley Lee discs that offer a broader, more expressive tonal range. Here a stronger Oriental mood is conveyed, and the notion of stillness is pursued with such earnestness that the final result (to Occidental ears) is ultimately a state of inertia. While composers sometimes refer to the use of silence as an overt creative element in their works, Satori relies so heavily on the approach that it seems as though Lee's flute is being filtered through a dense fog, and from a substantial distance. Satori, originally recorded in 1983, seems best suited to serious-minded yoga practitioners and those who prefer to adorn their meditative states with only the most minimal of audio embellishments. For such people, this disc could be the answer to prayers. For others interested in shakuhachi music, the two aforementioned discs are likely to be more satisfying choices. --Terry Wood

Absolutely beautiful.......2007-06-08

Fantastic CD for meditation. The music is simply beautiful, and it also helps me concentrate better when I am working.

Good for background.......2007-03-19

If you aren't a teacher who is a good "yoga DJ", this is good background music for class.

Satori-Music for Yoga and Meditation.......2006-12-18

The sound is open and spacious, highly evocative and emotionally complex.
If what you'll looking for is a delicate sensitivity,the warmth of wood, without
western music structure or pulse, you'll enjoy this cd.

Perfection.......2004-01-13

This is one of the deepest, most spiritual pieces of music you may ever hear. The title track, Satori, is beyond words.
True Zen. It is about nothing and about everything. There is the repeated, plaintive cry of a mist-shourded horn and a deep sense of melancholic loss. The stillness resonates and builds to a feeling of resolution, light, color and the after-life.
Guaranteed to transport the mind.
One can only hope such a place truly exists.

A Rare and Wonderful Spiritual Journey.......2002-05-07

I must admit, when it comes to this album and it's companion, Oriental Sunrise, I am more than a bit biased. I was the producer, recording engineer and co-editor for the original recordings of both albums, released on Plumeria Productions Hawaii label, in 1983. Few people know and Riley might be reluctant to advertise that all the music was "channeled" or improvised and recorded during one five-hour live session, in Lanikai, on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu. It was a truly magical experience I will never forget.
Gabriel Lee and I edited the five hours and arranged it into two distinctly different albums. Oriental Sunrise contains the brighter, more accessable "day" music and Satori, the deeper, darker "night" hues.
By today's or even 1983 standards, the technical quality was less than professional and I was very pleased that Riley chose to transcribe the music and re-record both albums. I was particularly pleased to see that he recorded Satori with the co-creator of the music, Gabriel Lee.
Both Satori and Oriental Sunrise contain what can truly be called "inspired" music. I know. I was there.

The Acme, the Pinnacle, the Zenith, the Ultimate .......2007-07-04

I first heard Flower Travellin' Band on Hawaiian underground radio in the early 70's and captured Satori on reel-to-reel. It took about five more years before I found it on vinyl LP in a Japanese department store in Honolulu. Then a space of about 30 years before I again found it on CD. Each time was sonic Nirvana. This is a superb recording, one of a kind, I'd say. Don't think twice, just order it immediately! You will not be disappointed. When you play it for your like-minded friends, I know they will want a copy (but be fair to FTB, tell them to buy one from Amazon like you did).

Amazing piece of Japan Heavy Pshych.......2006-11-10

When everybody in the west were dazed by the sounds of Black Sabbath, Depp Purple, Uriah Heep and so, in the east they were capable of rebuild this sounds and going further

A serie of bands heading by The Flower Travelling band were mixing japanese culture, psichedelia and heavy rock with a layer of mistery, angst and poetry...

This record has been a cult piece for many years, is the second of this band, they began covering their heroes in a first recording and on this everything learned is reflected.

Satori is structured in suites, above all i would sugest for first bite Satori 2nd, a song which would be the best thriller soundtrack, wich reflects how japan understood Black Sabbath. In sons as third suite japanese culture and music is very present, not making the songs boring but giving them a psichedelic style very original and enjoyable.

Now is reissued with original artwork and sleevenotes for every hard rocker delight

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-09-17

Order it immediately and count down the days until your mind will be blown. It's like Can and Black Sabbath made love and gave birth to Godzilla and instead of trashing Tokyo he just smoked out and ROCKED. Heavier than a thousand planets, tripper than if the end of of 2001 was really happening to you right now, and you really were a giant immortal baby hovering in space, and if that were true then forget Strauss, these guys would be the house band. Don't let next Thursday be another day that you've lived without hearing this.

I was going to review this, btu the other 2 people are correct.......2006-06-08

Yes it is dank.

Now I really can't tell you anything about this. Only if you have seen the movie Deadly Outlaw:Rekka will you have ever heard this music. It is unlike anythign you have ever heard. Unless of course you are a black sabbath fan, you may get it right away. OHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEOOOEEEOOOEEEEEEEEOOOOOEEEEOOOOOHHHHH

You maynever listen to anything again.

WARNING:album is only 5 tracks, sound like black sabbath yet to you?

It swept me away!.......2002-12-01

The first time I heard this album was on a flight to Alaska in deep winter. Each time I hear it, I am transported to the vast ice and snow in the twilight of an arctic day and I can feel the wind against my face and see the brilliance of the Northern Lights. I have shared this album with many of my clients, I am a massage therapist, and would recommend it for anyone who craves a musical experience that is unique and memorable. I own three copies of this album! Enjoy!

Groovy rocksteady dub reggae ska awesomeness!.......2006-08-01

I bought this purely on a whim... $10 at my local record store, and it kept catching my eye every time I looked through the ska section. The day I broke down and got it will be fondly remembered for the rest of my life. The closest thing I think I've ever heard to Satori's sound is Rustic Overtones, only these guys pump it up a notch all around. The lineup is all-star, with members of the RxBandits, Chris Murray, and I believe Westbound Train. The album is very positive, with excellent flow and unified sound, and catchy as hell but never at all anoying. Some of the new best music of the decade at least. This could be the fourth wave folks.

An acidental find of excellence.......2007-03-28

I was actually out at my local resale store looking for a different cd. After failing to finding the one I wanted I gave up and headed for the door but the cover of the cd caught my eye and I decided to buy it. To my surprise, it exceeded my exspectations by far. I was already having a very bad and was in a terrible mood. Once I got to my car I poped this in and with in five minutes I had already lost all my anger, with in 10 minutes I was feeling optimistic. Needless to say I take the CD everywhere now, house, car, boyfriends house lol. The music on this cd really is rejuvenating; the perfect blend between relaxing, awakening, and cleansing. I'm actually glad I didn't find the cd I wanted, else I wouldn't have found this great find!

If you're even thinking of buying this album, buy it. This is one of the best albums I've ever heard. It's like Black Sabbath does Dark Side of the Moon.

the 2 people below em make me feel like I have been living a lie.......2006-06-08

WARNING: this will sound similiar to other reviews. Now just so you folks know, The Flower Travellin Band is not widely known. This album came out liek 20 years ago, and I guess that I am just another person who saw deadly outlaw:rekka and had to find out everything possible about ths band. This album has 5 tracks, and they are all some of the best shlt you will hear. And yes, I instantly though of blakc sabbath when I heard the music. SO DANG YOU PEOPLE, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW OF JAPAN'S BLACK SABBATH:)


Oh well, go out and fet this, I promise you will not be dissapointed, btw-you will need the movie for the subtitles for the japanese lyrics:)

You will need to be able to hear every word ozzy speaks to understand the english on this album:)

NOT ENOUGH STARS!.......2006-04-26

prime Japanese proto-metal truly essential for all you scholars of the heavy..Heavy in every sense of the word,truly psychedelic stuff - personally,dont hear too much of the Sabbath vibe here but it is fairly riffy for the time!The blending of East/West elements just makes this trip all the more unique.YOU GOTTA HEAR THIS!!

Rockin'..........2005-05-03

I first was introduced to this amazing import from the Takashi Miike film Deadly Outlaw Rekka. My only regret is not knowing of this band sooner, contained here on Satori is what I would consider part of early metal history. To describe the sound, the easiest description I could give would be to say they are the japanese Black Sabbath and if you are a fan of Sabbath and other early metal pioneers you owe it to yourself to pick up this import.

We first heard this peaceful CD while on our honeymoon at a resort in the Virgin Islands. We played it every night to lull us asleep. It is a perfect CD for playing in the background as you unwind--at any time of the day. We loved it so much we bought it when we got home and bought "Tranquility" as well.
