Finally, A Sequel To Metal Machine Music

Just got Lou Reed's <I>Hudson River Wind Meditations</I> in today's mail. The sticker on the cover says "Soundscapes For Meditation, Bodywork, and T'ai Chi." The quote on the back of the CD says "I first composed this music for myself as an adjunct to meditation, Tai Chi, bodywork, and as music to play in the background of life - to replace the everyday cacophony with new and ordered sounds of an unpredictable nature. New sounds freed from preconception...I hope you find as much use for this music as I have in both writing and listening to it and exploring inner spaces. - Lou Reed, NYC, October 2006." In the accompanying photo, he looks just slightly healthier than the puppet version of himself from the "Video Violence" clip, so I guess all that tai chi and bodywork is really helping.

I'll take this album in a garbage bag with Latin written on it that says, "It's hard to give a shit these days."
