Secret Samadhi by Live
Secret Samadhi is an album by Live, released in 1997. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 54 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Lakini's Juice”, on 22 lists with a best position of #12.
Secret Samadhi went straight to number 1 on the Billboard 200 when it arrived on February 18, 1997, on Radioactive, which tells you how many people had been waiting since Throwing Copper sold eight million copies in the US. The York, Pennsylvania four-piece brought back Jay Healy to produce, the first time he'd worked on a Live record since their 1990 cassette EP, Divided Mind, Divided Planet.
It's a dark, knotty record. Chad Taylor's guitars grind and coil, Patrick Dahlheimer and Chad Gracey keep the floor heavy, and Ed Kowalczyk sings like a man wrestling with something only he can see. "Lakini's Juice", "Turn My Head" and "Freaks" were the singles, and by July 1999 the album had gone double platinum.
