Before being discovered by Brian Eno while busking in a New York park, then releasing his 1980 debut through Eno under the name Laraaji, Edward Larry Gordon had already been recording, and had released the sprawling two-track album Celestial Vibration under his own name. Now, to celebrate and collate Laraaji's very earliest works, Numero present Glimpses of Infinity, highlighting the two tracks from 1978's Celestial Vibration, as well as six other studio recordings from that formative late 1970s period.
