Michael Stearns: Ancient Leaves
A later 70’s California New Age record that has a much more spacey sound than most. Reminds me a whole lot of the first few Klaus Schulze solo lp’s. Two side-long cosmic drones consisting of layered electronics and hypnotic wordless voices. Stearns’ best record by far. He went on to make a several more in the 80’s that really don’t do it for me. Another cool thing is that it’s a pretty easy record to find – here in CA, at least.

In terms of personal views, the worst thing that you can find in a
reporter is prejudice; in terms of personal proclivities, the worst
things that you can find is a judgmental attitude;
and in terms of attention span, the worst thing that you
can find is no tolerance for boredom. Present day governments
have not yet understood that education in 21st century is no longer restricted inside the
buildings of schools, colleges, and universities.
