Pacific (1978 album)

Pacific is a 1978 album featuring instrumental compositions by Japanese musicians Haruomi Hosono, Shigeru Suzuki and Tatsuro Yamashita. It is the first in the CBS/SONY Sound Image Series.

The album shows a small island named Motu Fara that is part of the Avatoru Pass.

Critical reception
Jen Monroe of Listen to This called the album "a classic," stating "its unabashed tropical nostalgia acts as a jumping off point for flitting between genres (lounge, funk, disco, rhumba, smooth jazz, Latin fusion, synth pop), all delivered in full-color with jaunty, winking songwriting."
