But there comes a time when you have to open the door, go through it, and slip into the world.

I had that experience with Coltrane's LP "The Other Village Vanguard Tapes". I remember I was very tired, I closed my eyes and started drifting off while it was playing and the music finally sunk in. I think I can hear music better at concerts sometimes if I close my eyes. Keeps my from getting distracted by other people or stray thoughts.

Just noticed this thread. "Retrospection" is only partly a compilation Some of the tracks are actually alternate takes and several are previously unreleased. The most notable new piece the almost 30 minute long "Clusterity" (written 1966, recorded 1974) with The Big band of the North German Radio Station conducted by Dieter Glawischnig. Good work from soloists Manfred Schoof, Albert Mangelsdorff, Gerd Dudek, Wolfgang Dauner, Lucas Lindhoolm & Tony Inzalaco.

Perowsky is also on some good Dave Douglas recordings from the late 1990s.

"Vietnam: The Aftermath" and/or "Big Bang Theory".
