Producers Kimberly Haas and John Diliberto provide a sound-rich portrait of a unique side of Lou Reed?his meditation music. Best known as a rocker and founder of the Velvet Underground, Reed has explored ?ambient music? throughout his career. ?Metal Machine Meditations? primarily focuses on his most recent recording "Hudson River Wind Meditations," a series of compositions inspired by Reed?s practice of t?ai chi. This piece is very well produced and includes numerous interview clips and musical segments. The piece would be appropriate during a contemporary music program or as an arts feature in a magazine show.
