The late genial LOU REED (1942-2013) released his final LP (not widely known),
titled Hudson River Wind Mediations in 2007.

It was his 12th solo one. A 67-minute journey through meditational/ambient music intended to relax the body, mind and spirit, adjunct to Tai Chi, an internal Chinese,
martial art for self-defense and health practiced by Reed.

Reed: “I first composed this music to play in the background of life. To replace the
everyday cacophony with new and ordered sounds of an unpredictable nature.”

The newly remastered Hudson River Wind Meditations will be available in double LP, CD
and digital formats on January 12. Physical editions include liner notes by yoga instructor and author Eddie Stern, plus a recent conversation with Reed’s widow Laurie Anderson.
