Last year, moviemaker (and occasional songwriter) David Lynch unveiled the compilation Music That Changes the World as a digital download, with proceeds going to his own David Lynch Foundation charity (which promotes the use of transcendental meditation in schools). Soon, that digital collection will be released as a limited-edition vinyl box set for Record Store Day on April 21 via Altavoz Distribution.
The four-LP set is star-studded to say the least, with big-name contributors including Tom Waits, Iggy Pop, Arrested Development, Moby, Peter Gabriel, Maroon 5, Donovan, and Ben Folds. Much of the music is rare or exclusive to the collection.
Donovan said in a press release, "As head of the Musical Wing of the David Lynch Foundation, I wish to thank all the amazing artists who have contributed. From the beginning, when the Beatles and I were writing songs to promote Maharishi's meditation, it was always my dream to bring all the musical fraternity onto one great label to promote true peace. This day has arrived and now the world can know as we knew then, that change begins within."
In addition to the vinyl set, buyers will also get a digital version of the documentary Meditation, Creativity, Peace. This centres on Lynch's lecture tour during 2007 and 2008.
Only 2,500 copies of the box set will be made. It comes with a 42-page colour book with an introduction from Lynch himself.
