Rainbow Body Limited Edition (Vinyl LP)
Ancient mantras and modern beats, pressed on limited edition rainbow splatter vinyl.
Ram Dass practised mantra recitation deeply as a way to bring the heart and mind together. On Rainbow Body, John Pattern carries that practice forward. He builds a rhythmic, melodic wave that leads back to the altar of the heart, where love and awareness live.
The spoken word and chants on this record come from five decades of archival tape held by the Love Serve Remember Foundation. John Pattern adds the music and vocals. It’s released on Soul Land Records, the foundation’s official label.
This limited edition Rainbow Splatter pressing of Rainbow Body brings the album’s colors to the record itself, so there’s something to see while the music plays. It starts with a clear vinyl base and adds five primary colors, each standing for one of the five elements and one of the five Buddha families:
- Blue: the element of Space and the Akshobhya Buddha family
- White: the element of Water and the Vairocana Buddha family
- Red: the element of Fire and the Amitabha Buddha family
- Green: the element of Air (Wind) and the Amoghasiddhi Buddha family
- Yellow: the element of Earth and the Ratnasambhava Buddha family
