Nelson,Bill Chance Encounters In The Garden Of Lights: Deluxe CD

Deluxe expanded two CD edition of the classic Chance Encounters in the Garden of Lights. Originally issued on Bill's Cocteau label in 1987, the double set featured two distinct works; The Angel at the Western Window and The Book of Inward Conversation. In his note for the original release Bill Nelson declared; "The music presented on these two albums marks the consolidation of several years of musical and philosophical practice. Almost every piece was conceived during moments of intense stillness or 'magical vacuity'. Of all the music I have made, this is, perhaps, the most personal and yet the least demonstrative." Chance Encounters in the Garden of Lights has now become a highly regarded collection of beautifully evocative ambient music in the prolific discography of Bill Nelson. Long out of print, this Cocteau Discs remastered limited edition presents this wonderful double album once again, restoring the original artwork in the collection in a deluxe digipack set. It also features 21 bonus tracks drawn from the 1988 CD edition and a rare limited edition EP included with the very first LP pressing of the double album.
