this thing - incl the looooooong bonus tracks not available on the LP -- is on spotify. "somebody scream" is worth all 35 min if you are so inclined.

all praises be to the invisible infinite wealth which is now currently composing us and our experience. may we unfold as the alignment with this vibration, perfect presence of divine being, of most harmonious presence. may our appreciation for the infinite creator expand and receive greater depth in our personal unfoldment, and may we be released from the need to complete or perfect any person, place or thing, and free enough to be involved and enjoying the already eternal completion and perfection. with all praises be to this one within this one for this oneness as we are eternally this united channel of the infinite presence of our most beloved spirit soul.

Finally hearing this thanks to the new reissue. Very nice, like side two of Ambient 3 but for an entire hour long album.
Heard 'Celestial Vibration' recently, and... well, thats like side one of Ambient 3, but for an entire album. A lot more hypnotic when he uses pulses / dances, I got really caught up in this one
His tracks on 'Music For Films III' were always my favorites on a solid album. Want to hear the comp of his earlier cassettes / more electronic music.

This is a great album also:

Maybe this is why large amounts of unsold stock of the previous reissue of Flow Goes The Universe turned up in secondhand stores around Melbourne recently (which is why I have it).

Listening to Flow Goes the Universe on Spotify (via Two Sides) -- really enjoying it. Agree w Milton that it's like the second side of Day of Radiance, which was always my favorite anyway. Lots of swimmy shimmer effects, probably a consequence of Eno having passed the production torch for this stuff to Michael Brook who really had taken to those techniques around that time (late 80s/early 90s).

Ask us about how we got a hold of a sizeable stack of never before seen Laraaji photos along with 3 previously unheard acetates from the Celestial Vibrations recording sessions. This is a pretty massive discovery for new age and general music heads alike. The definitive collection of Laraaji’s earliest works, Segue To Infinity compiles his 1978 debut Celestial Vibration and six additional side-long studio sessions from previously unknown acetates from the same period. A lengthy essay by Living Colour’s Vernon Reid chronicles the origins of Edward “Flash” Gordon, illustrated with dozens of previously unpublished photographs that capture this beautiful and elusive young artist. Full of discovery and wonderment, Segue To Infinity is a miraculous chronicle of new age’s most fabled artist

Three of those side-long sessions are on Spotify now as "Ocean." As shimmeringly gorgeous as you'd expect.
