The Day of the Dead is an album by composer Graham Collier featuring his composition to accompany the writings of Malcolm Lowry, released on Collier's own Mosaic label in 1978 as a double LP.

AllMusic said: "Collier's love of Malcolm Lowry's texts from his time in Mexico became an obsession, and this work is the biggest payoff for it, whether or not it was understood in its own time ... Collier's vision here is focused, intense, and spiritually charged by Lowry's work. This is not some jazz with text, where a written text becomes the thematic cause of a group of instrumentalists, but more a series of passages that offered great textural and spiritual depth and dimension by this obviously on fire group of musicians. This is vanguard music, but it is far from "free jazz." The gorgeous chromatic range is almost overwhelming as these players entwine around one another.." - Wikipedia

Hermetic Library Fellow T Polyphilus reviews October Ferry to Gabriola [Amazon, Abebooks, Publisher, Local Library] by Malcolm Lowry October Ferry to Gabriola is sort of “Malcolm Lowry’s Last Novel,” as it says on the cover of my copy of the first edition.
