Description:

You may not think of Lou Reed as a meditative kind of guy, but the founding member of The Velvet Underground and purveyor of proto-punk songs like "Walk on the Wild Side" has a new electronic CD designed for meditation and body work. A longtime devotee of Tai Chi, Lou Reed talks about his ambient spaces.
