Only in times like these, when the spirit of redemption fills up our hearts... may we become immortal.
Music is the essential link between nations, families and friends. Music is what has been keeping us from animality and demonization. Expressing the needs of the soul, music elevates us to the realms of Spirit. Sharing music, even just records, is a natural act of Unification.
This blog is fed with my all time favorites. The cream of the cream in my own recipe. Music from all ages and horizons that stirs my soul and lightens my life. I also share with U the most interesting topics for me, in words and pictures...Check out the pages below... for a change.
This blog is my way to share with U. So that U may njoy as much as I do. When U are done surfing/downloading and are having a gr8t time discovering the marvelous soundz, it is Ur turn to share: Return and post happy comments to complete the circle... and ensure that I will stay motivated up here!
Erik Truffaz is blowing the trumpet, and eventually...Ur mind too! Face A Faceis a great introduction to Truffaz's music... AMAZING live recordings compiled on a 2Cd set and a musical panorama to satisfy nearly everyone. Njoy!
David Hykes and the Harmonic Choir came up with a unique work of overtone singing that will leave no one indifferent. Hearing Solar Winds is a must have for all real music lovers and a perfect tool for inducing altered states. U will need to play this on a good quality stereo or Ur preferred earphones for best results.
I dug this record from the local library in my hometown over 20 years back...
and it never got a wrinkle!
One of the Reggae Fathers, Burning Spear is a true mystical figure. Just try to imagine a 65+ years old rasta groovin & jumpin on scene, while smoking huge sensi splifs, a big smile on his face. That's our Winston !
There was a time when DCDwas pretty daring obscure stuff... and pulling an album in a circle of friends was sure to make sensation.
At that time, being depressed was noble, as U could immerse better than ever in Dead Can Dance music!
And then the very style of music this band invented became commonplace, unfortunately to my taste.
Spirit Chaser is the last record of the mighty duo...before they go solo careers.
It's no more depressive and even quite capable of bringing
a positive vibe all together.
A wonderful album which inspired a whole generation of artists....
and one I keep on rotating so often, year after year.
If U still don't know this, get ready for a blast.
Nyahbinghi would have remained an obscure word and exotic to everyone,
if Reggae music didn't exist.
However, since Bob Marley's cracker, Redemption Song, the warm heart-beat rythm of Nyahbinghi became an instant favorite to anyone who heard it.
(Death Metal fans non-included...).
Little did We know, then, that this tempo is the base for the chants performed
during Rastafarian ceremonies in Jamaican gatherings.
followed by twin formation Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari.
I think I couldn't play much of anything else for month and month
when I discovered this bands somewhere back in 1998.
Picked from Amazon:
"This review is from: Dadawah Peace & Love / Nyahbinghi (Audio CD)
Dadawah Peace & Love
The Sgt. Pepper of Reggae
Sparse,hypnotic extended jams of Nyabinghi chants.
Ras Micheal's vocal work is inspired and Willie Lindo's guitar work is an
improvisational tour-de-force. Deeply spiritual-simply one the greatest albums of all time."
This stuff is AMAZING and pretty rare in lossless, so let's
On Toto Bona Lokua, as U will have guessed, Gerald Toto and Lokua Kanza dudes are joining in
for one of my favorite World Fusion recording to date.
Check this out...
O Good Lo'd... last month earthquake which shook Japan, taking thousands of lives
may be out of the headline news already,
replaced by American folks rejoicing at the (most doubtful) killing of
a single political leader/religious figure they dubbed a 'terrorist'...
while the CIA is the biggest alleged terrorist organization in this world!...
Very well...let it be.
In Times Like These...!!! while the world go 'round and nuts, we will take a break.
Not to enjoy sake or koto however...but damn dope 'full-on' Japanese Jazz dudes!
Sleep Walker dawned on me 2 years past... and I didn't wake up since.
I am still sleep-walking dudes!...sleep-talking and sleep-eating too btw...hehe!
Sleep Walker is the first studio recording from the Tokyo based quartet
and an immediate cracker to me.
Check the melodies, get the rhythm blast and forget about sushi would U?
This one couldn't wait to be posted. Spirit Feathersby U.S projectMesa Music Consort is a remarkably unique album featuring Native American flute in duets with wind whistles, birds whistles and other bear growls...
Big favorite here...whenever the need comes for top of the line relaxing, comforting music.
And for those who follow, the voice of this unique singer is also found
on projects such as Kindred Spirits Ensemble or Build An Ark. Strictly the best.
