{"product_id":"2667938","title":"Satori Circus - Satori Circus [VINYL]","description":"\u003cp\u003eTouches of hard rock, blues, and county -- handled in Richard Soutar's idiosyncratic way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Soutar was one of the earliest artists on the east coast to write, record, press and publish his own albums. In 1976, he self-released a trippy DIY gem of a record called \"Lavender Daydreams, \"followed by \"Episodes\" in 1979. Both albums eventually saw reissue by Void Records -- who have now released Soutar's latest recordings in a band setting, \u003ci\u003eSatori Circus.\u003c\/i\u003e Stated influences on the new album include \u003cstrong\u003ethe Doors\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eMississippi John Hurt\u003c\/strong\u003e... and maybe much more accurately, \u003cstrong\u003ean Adyashanti lecture\u003c\/strong\u003e: \"All the crazy scenes you go through like a madman running in circles and suddenly seeing it clearly because you're in this very quiet sacred moment that descends unexpectedly on you. Some people call it Grace, others samadhi, others Satori,\" as Soutar explains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eSatori Circus\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of songs I wrote over the last fifteen years... and some go back farther,\" says Soutar. \"It included sounds that aren't being created anymore but I still love and I feel others might still want to hear. I played with sound effects more. I also had access to a mellotron and a Hammond B3 and anything else I could think of.\u003ci\u003eSatori Circus\u003c\/i\u003e is my movement into digital. It was very difficult and I struggled with my 8-track digital. It was like working with gloves on for an analogue and tape guy. There were extra steps and a lot of multi-function buttons, but there was economy too.\" Limited to a 400x copy pressing on black vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54419346293121,"sku":"2667938","price":26.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0778578306519.jpg?v=1750535447","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2667938","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
