Ackerman is universally recognized as the preeminent pioneer and face of the new age music movement. Will is also the founder of the legendary Windham Hill Records. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; In 2004, after years of growth and introspection, Ackerman re-recorded an album of his best-known songs, a greatest hits collection with all new performances. Will's goal was to take a series of 11 favorite songs and record them for posterity in a way that reflects the emotional nuances, precision, and maturing beauty they've picked up along the road. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; He includes the graceful and lushly melodic & quot;The Bricklayer's Beautiful Daughter, & quot; the sweet and melancholy & quot;Anne's Song & quot; (inspired by working with fellow genre legends Alex de Grassi and Michael Hedges), and two peaceful early gems from 1970, & quot;Pictures & quot; and & quot;Barbara's Song. & quot; Some were written as celebrations ( & quot;Unconditional & quot;), others as elegies ( & quot;The Impending Death of the Virgin Spirit & quot;), but all are intricate snapshots of a vastly influential musical life that keeps inventive to this day. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;I don't write music in any academic sense. I've learned to shut out rational thought and simply feel. If I get out of the way, the music is simply given to me. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Will Ackerman & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; All the well-known classics are here. A one of a kind compilation. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g+ Pure Virgin Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; Specially Remastered For This LP & lt;br & gt; Made In The U.S.A. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

& lt;b & gt; & quot;The King of Space Age Pop...Esquivel's use of stereo recording is legendary. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Esquivel was a Mexican band leader, pianist, and composer for television and films and widely considered the king of a style of late 1950s-early 1960s quirky instrumental pop known today as lounge music. RCA contracted with Esquivel in late 1957 and brought him to record in Hollywood in early 1958. He was given five hours of studio time to record the album & quot;Other Worlds, Other Sounds. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; His orchestration tended toward the very lush, employing novel instrumental combinations, such as Chinese bells, mariachi bands, whistling, and numerous percussion instruments, blended with orchestra, mixed chorus, and his own heavily-ornamented piano style. The chorus was called upon to sing only nonsense syllables, most famously & quot;zu-zu & quot; and & quot;pow! & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;The period cover of & quot;Other Worlds, Other Sounds & quot; says it all...like the woman in red dancing on a moonscape, this 1958 long-player was all about fantasy. & lt;/b & gt; And Esquivel, wasn't afraid to fantasize about his instrumentation nor the new audio sound known as & quot;stereophonic or Hi Fi. & quot; At the time Esquivel was using this new tech to its fullest by arranging the music in a unique manner as well as considering right channel-left channel. Voices ring back and forth between speakers, horns explode out of nowhere, and piano sounds cascade out of the stereo. This is what hi-fi was all about. It is seamless, quite enjoyable and rather magical. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Pure Virgin Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Numbered, Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; Specially Remastered For This LP & lt;br & gt; Made in the U.S.A. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.
