I love his latest 2 studio CDs " Bell " (2003) and " Self Titled " (also known

as Silver)( 2001), the latter being, IMHO, a bit more accessible and having

the song " Ladder " which I love. " The Late Stuart " is live and, while

good, lacks a lot of the nice studio nuances. Besides, if you're on Integral

Naked you can hear quite a bit of SD live anyway. I'm still collecting his

other stuff. His first couple albums lack the depth of what he's doing now,

more like a clever folky songwriter back then. His first album was written

while he was locked in his house getting drunk with his ferret (this in his

pre-Buddhist monk days). As you know if you've been on his site you can hear

snippets of most of the songs, read lyrics, and download songs and albums.

BTW, if you've ever read " Boomeritis " this is the same Stuart.

I ordered _Bell_ with my latest Amazon purchase. I tend to prefer to

experience a whole CD rather than listening to pieces when I'm being

introduced to someone new.

And funny -- I've never read _Boomeritis_ which is probably Wilber's most

famous book. I suppose I should get around to it one day.

Hi Ron. I hope you enjoy.

It's kinda optional. Although it's an interesting read, I think that

if you've read any of Wilbur's other recent books you would find it

redundant (quadrants, levels, meme colors, etc) and the fictional

part of it really doesn't go anywhere. OTOH, if you have lots of

money to burn I'd suggest the 12 CD Kosmic Consciousness set of

Wilbur put out by Sounds True. Not only a great overview of his ideas

but parts of it are quite funny and personal.

Those sound like fun. I might have to partake.

Sounds True is a great website, too. Thanks for the tip.
