"The first time I heard this album, I was on a road trip in the southwest, driving around the deserts of Arizona and Death Valley. My friend put this album on and as soon as Silver Morning gave way to the bouncing bass of Deep Blue Day while the red rocked plateaus rose and fell along the road side as we drove into the night, the album was etched into my soul. It was spectacularly beautiful, quiet, contemplative, a soundscape I had never heard before paired with a landscape I had never seen. Otherworldly but comforting.

The western sounding influence is also intentional. When creating the soundtrack, Brian Eno looked at what the astronauts would take on their cassette tapes with them, many of which were country or western songs, so he felt it appropriate to incorporate those textures into the ambience. Being out west when I first heard this, the desert topography not unlike the moon, I imagine, definitely amplified the impact.

This album means a lot to me and I appreciate you all willing to give it a try! I'm glad it hit everyone differently. I confess I've never tried this album while working out." - Steve
