tonight's choice, van morrison's 1968 release, "astral weeks." a trippy, experimental, free form improvisational and sometimes brilliant work. i read once that this album was basically live, with all the musicians in separate rooms, playing what they wanted, what they felt, live. i can believe this. while this isn't (imho) some his strongest work lyrically, his vocals are typically outstanding. much like the music, free form and improvisational. this may not be as outstanding as some of his later work, but his was my intro to van and a nice little flashback.
