Documentary recording (from a mountain temple) of the Holy Trip Festival held by some Japanese beatniks who lead a communal existence deep in the mountains of Nagano. Aiming for union with the universe, this is music like a prayer from the soul that opens up a world of light. Extreme trip improvisation, somewhere between trance music and the avant-garde. Features Kawabata Makoto on sarangi.
