Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in his native Northern Ireland in early 1983, this album captures Van Morrison leaning heavily into his spiritual and jazz-inflected inclinations. The set is notable for its intricate horn arrangements and extended, transcendent vocal improvisations on tracks from 'Into the Music' and 'Beautiful Vision'.
