This is the first studio album from Terry Riley since bad diagnosis in 1963. Thom Yorke has compared writing for Terry Riley’s new album to that on ‘Music for the Gift - Bird of Paradise - Mescalin Mix’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This is one of the best Cd’s Terry Riley has dropped to date. I greatly enjoyed this CD.
Music for the Gift (part 2) is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. I loved Music for the Gift (part 3) the first time I heard it. Music for the Gift (part 4) is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Music for the Gift - Bird of Paradise - Mescalin Mix. I find myself hearing bits of Music for the Gift (part 5) here and there throughout my waking hours. Bird of Paradise (part 1) is the first taste of the new album. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Terry Riley. Bird of Paradise (part 4) gets you up and jumping. Bird of Paradise (part 5) is a good listen every once in a while. Mescalin Mix is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music.
