Various - Valley Of The Sun Field Guide To Inner Harmony

Numero surveys Valley Of The Sun’s 1977–1990 catalogue with an eighteen-track selection of new-age and ambient recordings. Founded by Dick Sutphen, the label connected a metaphysical outlook with music intended for reflection and inner exploration. This overview brings together Upper Astral, David Naegele, Robert Slap, Steve Powell, David Storrs, Steven Cooper and Gloria Thomas, alongside other contributors to the catalogue. A double-LP sequence moves from 'Upper Astral Suite' to 'East Of West VIII', while the accompanying booklet supplies historical notes and original cassette artwork.
