Reed, Lou
Hudson River Wind Meditations (2lp/blue)
Light In The Attic Records in cooperation with Laurie Anderson and the Lou Reed Archive, announces a definitive re-release of 'Hudson River Wind Meditations', the pioneering artist's final solo album. Originally released in 2007, the deeply personal project combines Reed's love of creating drone music with his passion for Tai Chi, yoga and meditation. The album's ambient soundscapes have been described as a counterpoint to his intense Metal Machine Music album, but they are similar outliers in Reed's more than 40 years exploration of drone music and feedback harmonics. Comes with booklet featuring unseen photos by Lou, an iterview with Laurie Anderson and Jonathan Cott, essay by Eddie Stern, and archival interviews with Lou and Hal Willner. Comes on glacial blue coloured vinyl.
