Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Harps of the Ancient Temples' is a harp-centered recording by Gail Laughton that later became associated with the prehistory of new age listening. The album uses reverberant, meditative textures and mythic framing rather than standard pop or classical presentation. Its atmosphere helped it find a second life among collectors of early ambient and spiritual instrumental music.
