Any ideas where to still purchase the Kenso boxset? Thanks in advance.
Any ideas where to still purchase the Kenso boxset? Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately, the US vendors I'm aware of (Wayside Music, Laser's Edge, Amazon, eBay) as well as CDJapan all seem to be sold out of it.
It's possible it might pop up on places like Discogs or other marketplace type sites, so don't give up hope.
If anyone else might know of a place that I've overlooked, please share!
You'd probably pay a real hefty price now if you found a copy.
I think it's long gone. I might have bought the last one!!!

May be quicker and cheaper to track down the constituent albums individually at this point. Though of course you don't get the nice box that way (...I assume it is nice; don't own).
At least I see that Steve F. still offers the goodies individually; Sparta, III, Yume No Oka and the often misunderstood but truly listenable Esoptron.
Sadly not the utterly fantastic Kenso II though, which was always their most in-demand title AFAIK. According to Discogs it hasn't been issued since 2002, so it's little wonder if it's no longer in circulation.

Part of me wishes I had bought the DVD Box Set when it came out, but iirc, it was basically $50 a DVD at the price offered.
I wound up collecting them all individually, anyway, by the time the box set came out—except for Utsuroi yuku mono, which was their most recent at the time (they since released another)—so it didn’t have much use to me.

Ha, that's a good way of putting it, and I agree. Also, I think that FABULIS MIRABILIBUS DE BOMBYCOSI SCRIPTIS, is an absolutely killer fusion album, featuring possibly their most talented line-up, with lots of creative ideas flowing through it, that is very underrated. I'm so glad that I got to see them live at NEARfest. Amazing show, as both band and audience fed off of each other's energy, to take things through the roof.

Kenso and Banco circa 2001/2 were probably my own top two "big" performances across all the NEARfests. Stunning all around.
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

Also, Ephemeral Sun: it's a thing and we like making things that might be your thing: https://ephemeralsun.bandcamp.com
Live at NF was never released on cd was it or was it just dvd?
Discogs has three sellers, but that's compilation-dvd: https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/5450605?ev=rb
The 4xDVD Traveller of Eternity is only $750.
