Celestial Vibration

Originally released under the name Edward Larry Gordon, Celestial Vibration is the hypnotic debut album from new age vanguard Laraaji. At its time of release in 1978, Celestial Vibration was wholly unlike anything that existed, with Laraaji's bewitching implementation of the zither and kalimba. The record was issued in New York, where Laraaji lived, as a private-pressing with very little distribution. Today, Celestial Vibration is recognized as a prescient slice of Laraaji's illustrious career.

Originally released in 1978 by an obscure label from Portland, Maine called SWN Records, Celestial Vibration was the debut release by Edward Larry Gordon, at the time a street musician busking around New York City.
