ATARAXIA started its career on the Japanese Progressive rock scene along with OUTER LIMITS, at the beginning of the Eighties. Here you have some kind of nippon-flavoured neo Progressive, that may remind the music played by IQ during that era. Bassist Hideaki MURATA's vocals strongly relates to the theatrical school, led by Peter GABRIEL. Considering all this, it's no surprise that "Adolescence Of An Ancient Warrior", the only album published by the band in the year 1986, was regarded as a true achievement in the path of GENESIS. Not to be missed !
