Been getting majorly reacquainted with this album of sublime, beautifully relaxing piano over the last few weeks, so it's well due a posting. Just composer and instrument, nothing else. Half an hour of gradually evolving meditations on Kafka, with some themes from his Thin Blue Line soundtrack. Thirteen minutes of achingly gorgeous flowing waves originally written as an organ piece for the Dalai Lama's visit to New York City in 1981. Then seven minutes of gospel-inflected loveliness written in collaboration with Allen Ginsberg (the version with his voice would appear the following year, on Hydrogen Jukebox). I could listen to this album forever.
