ASTRAL WEEKS

-
Whilst working on a new piece for an upcoming show in LA I have been listening to Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks" repeatedly. It's an album I fell in love with instantly 8 or so years ago and is among a small stable of albums that never fail to inspire me.
-
I then read today that it was originally released in November 1968. I am well aware this album is widely considered a classic but with a culture so fixated with speed and the new trend it pleases me beyond belief that something nearly 41 years old remains quite so outstanding.
