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by Living Colour’s Vernon Reid chronicles the origins of Edward “Flash” Gordon, illustrated with dozens of previously unpublished photographs that capture this beautiful and elusive young artist.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.
