People’s Republic: From the Vault

People’s Republic: From the Vault

Rare productions and performances from the past, including Prisoners of the Real: From Here to Paradise — An odyssey in sound and thought. Recorded in 1992, #1 of this archival series incorporates ideas from Greg’s book, Prisoners of the Real, with a mix of jazz, folk, and world music. It’s core message: If we are going to rescue and transform human society, many of our psychic road maps have to be redrawn. And one necessary step is honest reflection concerning our basic assumptions about ourselves.
