Review:
'I first composed this music for myself as an adjunct to meditation, T'ai Chi, bodywork, and as music to play in the background of life - to replace the everyday cacophony with new and ordered sounds of an unpredictable nature. New sounds freed from preconception… I hope you find as much use for this music as I have in both writing and listening to it and exploring inner spaces.' - Lou Reed NYC, October 2006
Description:
Lou Reed’s fans have learned to expect the unexpected, but his latest work may still come as a surprise. After four decades in the rock spotlight, Lou Reed has turned his attention to the world of meditation music, inviting listeners on a relaxing journey to the hidden territory of his inner landscape. With Hudson River Wind Meditations, the iconic “art rocker” presents his first album created specifically for quiet contemplation.
A practitioner of yoga and t’ai chi for many years, Lou brings his unique sensitivity and knowledge of a broad spectrum of music genres to provide a tranquil bed of soothing harmonics that open the heart and settle the mind. The pieces on this hypnotic album wash away tension and negative energy with sparse instrumentation and subtle waves of electronic sound.
