Julia Cameron & Tim Wheater
Recorded high in the Rocky Mountains, This Earth is a partnering of poetry and music, intended by Julia Cameron and Tim Wheater to be a hymn of healing. It is passionate, romantic, provocative, and political. It is an anthem, a lullaby, a torch song, a prayer. Calling us to remember who we are and why we love each other, it invites us to cast aside differences of race, religion, country, culture, and gender. Above all, it invites us to celebrate This Earth. Thirty compositions.

Peter Davison
A pioneer in the genre of music that came to be known as "New Age ," Peter Davison released six acclaimed albums on his own label, Avocado Records, before signing with Higher Octave Music and releasing his first album in 1987, "Winds of Space." "Fragrant traces of flowers and leaves drift on a gentle wind," are the words Peter uses to describe the French impressionistic atmosphere of the 1984 release, "Traces." In this collection of seven musical poems, he echoes the strength and explosive power of creation that brings forth the most beautiful and fragile blossoms. With flutes, piano, synthesiser, viola and koto, Davison seamlessly transits from one piece to another. "Music on the Way" is a powerful statement of the creative force that dwells within each of us. This work by Peter Davison has stood the test of time as an important example of the relevancy of experimental ambient music. Deep meditative states become possible through the textures of flute soprano, saxophone, synthesiser, guitar, harp and cello which interplay in this fourteen year old classic of exploratory music.
Innersense
In the making of Umbra, Innersense continue to use a unique mixture of natural and synthesised tones, first heard on Dreamfields. The rich harmonic sounds interweave with strong melodies, as the circular nature of the music echoes the eternal motion of the spheres. As Sun and Moon begin their dance, so too do we. As the Umbra approaches, framed by unearthly blackness, our spirituality is awakened. Our mystical journey together cannot be ignored as we gaze in awe at the mechanics of the Universe. At the moment of Totality we are aligned with an eerie sense of light and dark. Umbra encourages the listener to remember his cosmic origins and to trust in his cosmic destiny.

Douglas Spotted Eagle
Douglas Spotted Eagle is a multi-talented musician: flautist, film score composer, producer, author, activist, and performer on the Voices of Native America Tour. Here, on his 14th solo recording, Spotted Eagle has channeled his loss of his son into a work unlike any other. More fiery than earlier recordings, Voices is a blend of ethnic contemporary: jazzy horns and guitars, a dense undercurrent of drums and bass beats, and traditional Diné vocals by friends and tribal elders. And at the center of it all soars Spotted Eagle's resplendent Native American flute.
Primeaux & Mike
Healing songs are a newer style of soothing harmonised chanting from the Native American Church (or Peyote Church) without the accompaniment of the Peyote water-drum or rattle. These songs are meant to facilitate meditation and prayer and provide comfort and peace for the singers and listeners. The unique call-and-responce polyphonic harmonies of these healing songs are sweet and fall easily on Western ears. The album ends with Navajo and Sioux versions of 'Amazing Grace'.

Shawna Carol
Anyone who's gotten so mad they could scream, or let out a mellow sigh of relief, knows that the voice is a powerful tool for releasing emotions. In this beautifully written guide, singer and teacher Shawna Carol shows how to harness the power of the voice as a means of self-expression and spiritual growth. Using her SpiritSong method, Carol encourages you to sing - whether or not you have what is commonly considered a "good voice." Stripping away the mystique, fear, and perfectionism that so often surround singing, she begins with simple breathing exercises and builds to simple toning, followed by more complete songs. "Composer and sound healer Shawna Carol maintains that singing is natural medicine. Teaching a process she calls 'SpiritSong,' she works with people to release their emotional and creative blocks. This is an extremely powerful technique." - Julia Cameron.

Chris Camozzi
"Windows Of My Soul," Chris Camozzi's debut release on Higher Octave, brings this virtuoso guitarist to the forefront of contemporary instrumental music with a collection of stunning compositions played straight from the heart. Already established as one of the most versatile and in-demand session guitarists in pop music, having spent the past five years touring and playing with Michael Bolton and Mariah Carey, Camozzi has now focused his mastery on his own tuneful and gracefully impassioned music. Initially inspired to take up guitar after seeing the Beatles on television when he was seven, Camozzi started performing publicly at the age of ten. Absorbing the influences of such role models as George Benson, Carlos Santana, Larry Carlton and Robben Ford, he perfected his technical skills by maintaining a tireless schedule that included doing session work with top producer Walter Afanasieff during the day, fronting his own Top 40 band at night and playing various casual gigs on the weekends. When the time arrived to record his own album, Chris was ready with original material that reflects both his limitless melodic imagination and his deepest emotions. Part of Camozzi's genius lies in his ability to bridge the worlds of jazz, pop, rock and New Age instruments. "It was a gift for me to be able to express the things I really care about," he says. "I hope it touches people." Through "Windows Of My Soul," Chris Camozzi has expressed himself in a dynamic musical language with a fresh, contemporary sound that is at once uncommonly intimate and universally appealing.
