'''''[[New Horizon]]''''' is the tenth [[Solo Works#Tak Matsumoto|studio album]] by [[Tak Matsumoto]], released on April 30, 2014. The theme of the album was to explore arenas that Tak had not yet experienced in his musical career thus far. Unlike with the oriental-themed ''[[Hana]]'' and hard rock release of ''[[DRAGON FROM THE WEST]]'', ''New Horizon'' sees Tak journey more into the jazz style he began cultivating in his [[TAKE YOUR PICK|2010]] and [[Strings Of My Soul|2012]] releases. In addition to highlighting guitar in ways he had not previously, the album also features solos for various other instruments, all of which were played freeform.
