History (John Kaizan Neptune):

Neptune originally thought of calling this album "Musashi", after the book about a 17th Century samurai. In the final chapter, "Soul of the Deep," as the hero prepares for his last battle, he gazes into the ocean and calms himself - a feeling conveyed by this composition's descending melody. The big 2.4 (bass) shakuhachi deepens the mood, while the interplay between the two five-tone scales of traditional and folk music of Japan give it life and hope.

Soul of the Deep appears on the following albums
