    In issue #21, I reviewed Harrison's Seven Letters tape, a decent new age (in the musical sense), new wave, techno performance. All created by Harrison himself. His latest creation is another trip into relax-land. And is even less upbeat. Included this time with the tape was the (photocopied) bad news of the downward spiraling direction of America & how to prepare for the impending crash. Right or wrong this could set your nerves on end. But I suppose the music is meant to put you at ease. (You can also write him for a free tape called Last Days Hype). Purified By Pain is a synth-guitar excursion for those "in the valley" of life, or just simple Hearts of Space listeners. 60 min. (normal tape) of good mellow new age music.
