Absolute monster of a gem from the anonymous godfather of ambient music. I try to stay on top of musical releases but missed this one, but it found me at just the right time. Murcof deserves his chance on a large scale soundtrack for a big budget film. Hopefully the Universe hears my prayer for this.

like a care package sent from the universe from 2003. goodness. absolutely drenched in everything right and wrong about the past two decades. stay a secret. it's safer here.

Music that feels like it was made by someone secretly walking beside you for years . . .

Deeply tapped into the Universal. A stark, untimely common flower on an uncommon day.

My only lament is that there are no new albums from this lovely clan. Perhaps it is because they are perfecting the next one.

A longtime favorite, this track is a perfect example of innocence and accidental magic that occurs early on in an artist's career. The freshness here is timeless and arresting in its beauty. The spontaneousness of the live recording and the improv of the vocals make it something of a seance and a journey. Taking breaks from and revisiting it has a marvelous effect on recentering my core--and the very first listen is truly something special. Treat it like medicine and don't overuse it.
