Two classic albums documenting this significant chapter in his development
are available in the Celestial Harmonies duobox. This innovative packaging
format for double compact disks, places two CDs into a standard, single disk-sized
jewel box by means of a modified inner compartment.

Recorded in concert in 1975, DESCENDING MOONSHINE DERVISHES (11047) pulses
with intricate, shifting layers of polyphonic sound. The fifty-two minute composition in two parts was
performed live without the aid of pre-recorded tracks. Instead, Riley used a modified Yamaha
YC 45D organ to create swirling, mind-altering improvisations seething with otherworldly
tone colors. Also captured in concert, SONGS FOR THE TEN VOICES OF THE TWO PROPHETS (11067)
features original lyrics sung to the accompaniment of two Prophet 5 synthesizers.
One of the rare recordings documenting Riley's deep gravelly singing style,
SONGS FOR THE TEN VOICES OF THE TWO PROPHETS, combines the insights of
East and West into a dynamic statement of the composer's own spiritual search through music.
