Edward Larry Gordon: All Pervading

This next track will appeal to anyone with an interest in Eastern music to the celestial drones of latter day Boredoms (circa Vision Creation Newsun). Edward Larry Gordon also known as "Larry G" was a fixture of the downtown New York Jazz-Punk scene of the late 1970’s. Around this time he developed an interest in Eastern mysticism which informed much of the music he would later record. After a chance meeting with Brian Eno in Washington Square Park, Gordon was invited to record an album on Eno’s ambient label. He recorded under the pseudonym Laaraji and went on to produce a number of spiritual records designed for meditation. ‘All Pervading’ is taken from 1978’s Celestial Vibration and clocks in at just under twenty-five minutes. The version below is in an edited form but the full length mix is well worth seeking out.
