Vision Songs Vol. 1

HMz Such a tranquil and bright album. There's simultaneously such a down-to-earth, yet transcendent quality to this album that I love to death. If you catch me at just the right moment, I'd probably say this was the first truly outsider album.

Thank you Laraaji. Favorite track: We Shall Be Lifted.

about

Vision Songs Vol. 1 is the Laraaji album like no other, located at the intersection of new age and gospel, his outlier and magnum opus, the feel-good DIY tape of the century. Casio synth jams recorded at spiritual retreat guest rooms and a tiny bedroom on the Upper West Side in 1984, lysergically-spectacular anthems for a continually arriving new moment. “Channeled from the sky,” humbly offered on vinyl for the first time, this is where this is going on, this is where this is taking place, this is how this is going on. Is this very clear?

Just discovered Sam Wilkes and some of his work and bass playing, and arrived to this record. It reminds me a lot to John Hassell/Eno era a bit more jazzy, and all the ambient music from the 80’s. I love it! Santi Umbert
