Audiophile reissue, lacquered directly from Axelrod's original EQ'ed mastertapes at Capitol Records by Ron McMaster, housed in a deluxe gatefold jacket"Songs of Experience was supposed to have a different feel than Song of Innocence. You see,music is a great outlet. And regardless of what the titles say, and as close as I wanted it to be toWilliam Blake, what was going on in my life took precedence." – David AxelrodSongs of Experience is visionary composer/arranger/producer David Axelrod's second album, it wasrecorded after the death of his beloved son Scott. Experience is an ominous affair, an album concerned withmortality and spirituality – the solitary, pastoral musings of William Blake set to the urban bombast of a fullLos Angeles orchestra, with Wrecking Crew vets grounding the proceedings with dark funk.This is the next Now-Again issue in a series of reissues centered around Axelrod's Capitol Trilogy – Song ofInnocence, Songs of Experience and Earth Rot – which will see release through 2018. Contains oversized,28 page booklet that delves into Axelrod's incredible life and music, replete with never before publishedphotos and an interview with Axelrod by Eothen Alapatt and Wax Poetics' Brian Digenti."There are very few people who see the Grand Picture of the Universe and understand theNothingness that it all comes from. There are even fewer who can express these ideas throughmusic - David could do it all." – T-Ray
