Those who haven't had the good fortune of experiencing Kenso in a live setting can now have the next best thing! Beneath the beautiful cover artwork by Shinsaku Fujita lies the first DVD release by the Japanese Progressive Fusion Quintet: Ha-re-ki, a full concert in excess of 100 minutes that features choice cuts from the band's twenty-five year recording history. Recorded in the summer of 2002 at On Air East, the six-camera shoot provides nearly every practical angle possible; this allows for horizontal and vertical split-screen viewpoints, sometimes moving up to three and even four splits to emphasize call-and-response & unison lines. Kenso's current lineup has remained intact since 1991's Yume No Oka (with one slight exception), so the players' immediate and ever-resilient chemistry can finally be witnessed as well as heard — no easy feat unless you happen to reside in the vicinity of Tokyo
