I love listening to this when it snows.

Laraaji helped make MOMIX one of the most successful dance groups on Earth with his score for their silhouette art piece called "E.C." (for "Extra Celestial")

A glimmering shiny sparkling Buddha........ ;)

Actually, this was so beautiful it was my favorite. It's like the first light of dawn in musical form.

Eno follows his heart, though he wouldn't put it that way. He blew my mind again and again with album after album. I bought this album in a used cassette bin, I don't know why. After being properly trounced and tranced by this beauty I discovered that Eno was involved. No surprise.

this is just celestial

[djimi888]

Die 'video' is een beetje ... eh ... 'altijd hetzelfde', maar die muziek is van het beste dat ooit op deze aardbol is gemaakt, hé.

5 sterren !!!

This is my cousin. He was a member of Donald Byrd's band waaay back. He went by Larry, probably E. Gordon on the album. He has at least one more release. I have it on tape, but it's slightly damaged.

One of my favorite albums, the only one of the Ambient series I still listen to. I always liked the way the tunes are programmed to get slower and slower. Listening to the last cuts is like being on the edge of sleep with consciousness slipping in and out.

[themysteriouscow]

this is my sort of christmas tune

[ssballs]

Haven't heard this in ages.Still have the record somewere.I wonder how laraaji is doing .I enjoyed a S.F. concert in 1988 very much.Thanks for posting.

[likolki2]

Thanks for sharing.I have just spend couple of days in home getting over with flu helping myself meditate with Eno's music.Great time despite runny nose and temperature.

[phillyP84]

[xgoddammitx]

great song :)

[takiakitsoujie]

great Zither song ever!!!!!

[mascbp10]

You know, I'll be honest with you, this is my least favorite of the Ambient Series.

[Rogueofmv]

Isn't it everyone's? ;)

It really was out of character for the series, yeah. But it makes for a good standalone album.

[ALoveEternal]

I hated this peice when I first listened to it, but that probably had to do more with it's 'uniqueness' from the rest of the series more than anything. I'm actually thinking about picking this one up soon. :D

[mrfish4lyfe]

@Rogueofmv funny you say that i think its my favorite

[LighterOfDewbies]

@Rogueofmv What is the Ambient Series? Can you let me in on this?

[Rogueofmv]

@LighterOfDewbies There was a series of four albums Brian Eno released from 1978-1982 in the "Ambient" sequence. 1 & 4 are Eno solo, 2 is Eno with Harold Budd, and this is a track for 3, which is a Laraaji album produced by Eno.

Check them all out, each one is excellent.

[LighterOfDewbies]

@Rogueofmv Thanks. Yeah this song's great, I'll definitely have to check out his other stuff.

[pazzensutra]

Side two is wonderful. It's one of my favorite albums, too.

[ALoveEternal]

I think Brian missed the memo

[piriajeoshi]

Actually, I don't think he uses a hammer dulcimer at all. He just uses small wooden hammers to play his zither. I saw him do this at the Healing Sounds Intensive in Boulder, Colorado. He also plays it with brushes, which produces a very subtle, cool effect. Anyway, great stuff! Thanks much for posting it!

[honeyspur]

Thank you so much for putting this on here! It's one of my favorite albums.

[PiggybackOrchestra]

Agreed. A great cd for meditation
