I love that album. It ∗was∗ released as two separate CDs, "Hymns" and
"Spheres," which I think was a mistake because the flow on the original
two-album set with the tracks mingled was wonderful. Great music to read by.
He got great effects out of the instrument by pulling stops half-out. See?
Analog. You need knobs!

There's an old pipe organ record by Keith Jarrett called
"Hymns, Spheres",
in which he uses it like a synthesizer. Very long pieces
with basically no
melodies, just tone poems where the sound changes over
several minutes by
gradually bringing pipe ranks in and out of the mix. Very
trippy.
