Laraaji - Vision Songs (LP)

Add to Cart

Vision Songs Vol. 1 (1984) is a Laraaji album like no other, located at the intersection of new age and gospel. It is both his outlier and magnum opus, the feel-good DIY tape of the century.

Discovered busking in Washington Square Park by Brian Eno in the late '€˜70s, engagement with the eternal flow has led Laraaji to, seemingly by magic, emerge as the most beloved avatar of the unstoppable new age music revival of recent years.

Now Vision Songs rewrites Laraaji'€™s musical history. Unlike the many instrumental, free form albums upon which his reputation was built, this is an album of songs, with lyrics, verses, choruses. Vision Songs is literally a revelation - of a master songwriter whose unbelievably catchy best compositions such as We Shall Be Lifted, All of a Sudden, and Is This Clear? belong in any great American songbook.
