Zithers & Mbiras (and the smiling, ethereal presence of Brian Eno).......2005-08-31
Its sounds are beautiful.
Initially, I wanted to categorize Flow Goes The Universe as ambient (which is fair), but this 1992 recording transcends droning loops. Laraaji's performance commands more attention than would normally be given to audio wallpaper.
Synthesizers play a significant role, but they don't overpower the zithers and mbiras (and the naturally reedy sounds of Roger Eno's one-track guest appearance on accordion).
The song titles clearly describe the songs. Zither Dance and Mbria Dance...both dances! Space Choir is...spacey. A Cave In England...was mixed with live cave sounds. Laughing In Tongues...made me smile.
Although "vocal sounds" are listed for one track, and "vocals" for another, Flow Goes The Universe is essentially an instrumental album ... A very beautiful instrumental album.
Note: Brian Eno recorded Laraaji in 1979, resulting in Ambient 3: Day Of Radiance, released in 1980.
