Laraaji once said, 'Through sound you can smell daffodils, by smelling orchids you can hear sound.' After a recent inspiring in - store performance at Turntable Lab, his words still resonate. In the late 70s, while playing the zither in Washington Square Park with eyes closed in a meditative state, Laraaji was approached by Brian Eno for a recording project. This led to the creation of Laraaji's transcendental new - age music, featured in the third installment of Eno's Ambient series. The A - side with fast, pulsating textures ('Dance' 1 - 3) defies today's ambient music norms, a sign of the era's experimentalism. The B - side ('Meditation' 1 and 2) has a gentle, sparse zither sound and closer 3D sound treatments, mirroring earlier Ambient series vibes. This 180g vinyl pressing comes with a CD and is housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve. It includes an in - depth conversation transcript between Laraaji and Pat Thomas about the album's creation. With a vinyl repress, extensive liner notes, and the backing of Glitterbeat in 2017, this album is a must - have. Reviewed by Hannibal Chew in 10/2017.
Using this product is easy. Just pop the CD into your CD player or place the vinyl on your turntable to enjoy Laraaji's amazing music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on it. Store the vinyl and CD in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or damage. If you notice any dust on the vinyl, use a soft, anti - static brush to gently clean it before playing. For the CD, you can use a microfiber cloth to wipe it from the center outwards. Enjoy this unique musical experience!
