Ecstasy is the eighteenth solo studio album by American rock musician Lou Reed, released on April 4, 2000, by Reprise Records. A concept album about Reed's personal experiences with marriage and relationships, it is his final rock album that is not a collaboration.[1]
The cover photography is by Stefan Sagmeister, who instructed Reed to masturbate behind a curtain to express the feeling of unashamed ecstasy.[2] The songs "Future Farmers of America" and "Turning Time Around" on the album are adapted from Reed’s collaboration with Robert Wilson, Time Rocker.[3][4][5]
