DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The Boy and the Tree was composed after a visit to Yakushima Island, an outstandingly beautiful world heritage site off the southern tip of Japan, scored by a deep, lush, and ancient ravine, home of the ancient 7000-year old ‘Jōmon Sugi’. Tree. Also, the inspiration for Miyazaki's epic anime Princess Mononoke, a conflict between the rampant greed and destructive force of humanity, and the stoic, mysterious fragility of nature.
This fleeting immersion in nature lent the album a profound introspection and mystery, and its twelve tracks unfold in a dream sequence, each drifting seamlessly into the next while still managing to steer the listener in myriad directions, from eerie butoh atmospheres to ebullient raga to desolate, cavernous chanson. The Boy And The Tree is definitely one of, if not the most, visually evocative and cinematic Yokota releases.

My daughter is delighted with this cassette!
Received item as requested, no issues at all. Would order from this company again
LOVE the design! And packaging was fabtastic - truly a wonderful gift (for myself!!!!)
Plays great, looks super cool! This music (and movie) are deeply special to me, so glad you had this on vinyl!
This item came perfectly wrapped and sealed, helix sounds is an amazing seller and I would gladly buy from them again
For all fans, this is a must-buy. Especially hooked by the track Wind, which is the very first ending of the anime.
This album sounds as good and hits as hard as it did when it was released! Extra fun getting it from Helix Sounds, they always have the best stuff :)
The vinyl in great condition got here when expected and sounds amazing
fast service & quick response, Good+
I got this for my husband as a gift and he really loved it. Great sound and beautiful color. I’m so glad I got this vinyl.
Beautiful vinyl. Good price. Came packaged well.
Really happy with the vinyl box set. It was sent quickly, well packaged and made it to Australia unscathed 😊
Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.
The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!
