THIS EARTH Ref: RCD066

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.

Jones’ 1983 Pianoscapes was the first album released on the now renowned new age Narada label. Subtle, tranquil tracks like 'Touch,' 'Play,' 'Rebirth,' 'Longing,' and 'Delight,' show why Jones’ many albums have conveyed a peaceful, serene state of joy to millions. “Since it was recorded directly to two-track, the album has an immediate, lively feel, but the music remains peaceful and graceful. With Touch, Jones remains at the forefront of new age keyboardists - very few musicians can create music this lucid and lovely.” - All Music Guide.

TRACES/MUSIC ON THE WAY (2 Albums on 1 CD) Ref: RCDA13

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.

TRANCE 2: Naqshbandi Sufis - Healing & Trance in Morocco - Balinese Temple Festival (Book + Cassette) Ref: IG127C-BG

Various Artists

In Chinese Turkestan, the ancient brotherhood of the Naqshbandi Sufis perform the zikr, an Islamic ‘calling to God’ built upon wordless chanting. Jean During was allowed to record this rarely witnessed ritual of deep contemplation and inspired dancing. In Morocco, the Ganawa brotherhood performs a leela-serene and healing nights of musica and trance. The pulsing bass of the guimbri and the chattering percussion of qaraqsh that accompany these rituals embody the spirit which lured musicians like Jimi Hendrix and Ornette Coleman to Morocco. In Bali, at a Hindu temple festival, the hypnotic pulsing of the gamelan - a bevy of gongs, metallophones and cymbals - drives participants into trance to perform ngurek, a frenzied ritual where trancers stab at themselves with long daggers. Includes 64-page hardback book.

TURNING POINT Ref: RMA098

Terry Oldfield

"With over 20 albums to his credit, prolific New Age composer Terry Oldfield has two Emmy nominations and a British Academy Award nomination for his memorable soundtracks for nature programming. Turning Point arrives as a gift from a versatile artist to his enthusiastic fans, and a wonderful discovery for those who have not yet heard his music. Oldfield is at heart a flutist, and it is a pleasure to explore Oldfield's crystalline and unerring sense of the melodic. The seven songs presented explore the theme of leaving behind the familiar and journeying toward the unknown. Clear and achingly beautiful, these are songs for the heart, to sing along with, to absorb gently, and to linger in the memory. The album opens with Guardian Angel, which deserves to be a standout single. Enhanced with a mpeg video playable on PC or Mac, the song evokes images of loss and protection. As a composer and lyricist, Oldfield's song lines are direct and full of hope. His thought-provoking and warm lyrics are delivered with bell-like clarity by Louise Jensen, Jenna Monroe, and Matt Oldfield, enhanced by sensitive arrangements." - New Age Voice.

THE WAY OF SONG: A Guide to Freeing the Voice & Sounding the Spirit Ref: REA281

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.

WINDOWS OF MY SOUL Ref: RMA009

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.
