Japanese minimal figurehead Midori Takada released Tree Of Life as a CD-only album in 1999. It's a stark work primarily centered around Takada's marimba, bells and drums, with additional erhu played by Jiang Jian-hua, and it's remarkable in its delicacy and minimalism.

Fans of Takada's widely acclaimed Through The Looking Glass might well learn about other aspects of the seasoned artist's approach on this album, which receives a lavish half-speed mastering treatment courtesy of WRWTFWW, one of the labels closely associated with resurgent interest in Takada's compelling work. There's a consistent patience and sense of calm which makes it an engrossing listen from start to finish.
