Deep Breakfast is Ray Lynch’s third album and was released in 1984. In 1989, the album peaked at #2 on Billboard's "Top New Age Albums" chart, behind David Lanz's album "Cristofori's Dream". The album was eventually certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1994.
The album's title is taken from a line in The Mummery Book by Lynch's spiritual teacher, Adi Da Samraj: "Evelyn slapped Raymond on the back with a laugh. 'You must be starved, old friend. Come into my apartments, and we'll suffer through a deep breakfast of pure sunlight.'" The sentence is quoted in the album's liner notes.
Joe Brown of Washington Post praised the album, calling it an album to "effective with headphones". Brown particularly praised the the song "The Oh of Pleasure", stating that it "uses gradual amplification to give the strange sensation that you're being drawn deeper and deeper into the sound."
Deep Breakfast includes the following tracks.
All music composed, arranged, and produced by Ray Lynch except The Oh of Pleasure which was co-written by Lynch and Tom Canning.
