Let's talk about Rays

by Rolly • January 19, 2017

Our Thursday and Sunday groups in Videoranch 3D have been discussing "Rays".  Perhaps one of the most overlooked of Nez's albums, it is also one of the most symbolic.  The poster that comes with the cd shows Nez at various times in his career searching for "food".  It is this nourishment he obviously needs that proved to be a great source of speculation.  What type of nourishment was he searching for, and how do the songs compare to this journey?  Please feel free to share your opinions on whether this food represented those of the spiritual, music, or a stop at In & Out Burger  :)

look into the Rays

this is an iconic work overall. The "later" nez is a grand departure from his earlier work and is much more profound with a depth of thought and expression directed to invoke insights for us on our own personal level of understanding. I believe it is just as significant a look into ourselves, if we aware enough to let it be so, as it is into the mind of nez in these later more years where he is truly allowing us to partake in his musical journeys, and use it to as a platform for self discovery. I believe that is one of the many tasks of the artist to do just this.

Other than that its just darn cool music. I love the seven sacred Rays myself
