G.I. Gurdjieff- Harmonic Development

G.I. Gurdjieff' was a noted early 20th-century mystic type, known for his teachings in a self-proclaimed "Fourth Way" of balanced personal/spiritual development. He is also known for having established the modern use of the enneagram as method for self-understanding. Regardless of whether or not Gurdjieff was in fact a genius or just a very clever charlatan, there's no question he was responsible for a great deal of interesting music. Says Wikipedia: "The last musical period is the improvised harmonium music which often followed the dinners Gurdjieff held in his Paris apartment during the Occupation and immediate post-war years, to his death in 1949." This is the stuff of Harmonic Development; a combination Book & CD offering of Gurdjieff's improvisations released by the Dutch record label, Basta. Can't give you the book, but here is the music. (Thanks to my anonymous source for the hook-up.)

I was unable to expand rar for parts 2 & 3: "The structure of the archive is damaged (Error #17540)" Saw that pt. 1 was 19.3 hours- the length of the mp3 disc- so, i decided to go ahead and post it. was planning to post a re-up comment/request, so that maybe i could try again with the other parts...
