Kamasi Washington – Heaven and Earth 4xLP Vinyl Record Box Set

Kamasi Washington’s sophomore album “Heaven and Earth” not only fulfils its overarching ambition, but illustrates the dialectic between seen and unseen, real and imagined, citizen and culture, self and self, as well as self and other, and does so through the lens of a mature but never jaded revolutionary consciousness. 

The highly anticipated follow up to Washington’s debut “The Epic,” “Heaven & Earth” is comprised of two halves, which find Washington confronting quotidian realities with cosmic themes. A further investigation of Washington’s world building ideas, the new album explores his reckoning with current global chaos and his vision for the future.

The artist’s own words best convey the inspiration behind this monolith of an album “The world that my mind lives in, lives in my mind. This idea inspired me to make this album Heaven and Earth. The reality we experience is a mere creation of our consciousness, but our consciousness creates this reality based on those very same experiences. We are simultaneously the creators of our personal universe and creations of our personal universe. The Earth side of this album represents the world as I see it outwardly, the world that I am a part of. The Heaven side of this album represents the world as I see it inwardly, the world that is a part of me. Who I am and the choices I make lie somewhere in between.”

Pressed on Classic Black Vinyl. Discs I and J, “The Choice” are hidden in the middle of the packaging, under a corrugated seam. The seam must be cut open to access the hidden disc.
