Van Morrison Beautiful Vision 1982 "The upshot of all this was that Isham started to incorporate the atmospheric ideas of Eno into Van Morrison's music by utilising synthesizers with flute and voice. The lush sound of Beautiful Vision and Inarticulate Speech Of The Heart are indicative of "this common interest in Ambient music." Isham remembers the one-week recording sessions for the latter album, which took place at the Townhouse in London, as being nothing short of "superb".

"The keyboards I played on that were a Prophet 5 and an old Oberheim 4-voice. I think that was it. In fact, I've never amassed a lot of keyboards. I still use my Prophet 5"
