The Tao of Books Bargains Music 2

Peter Wyoming Bender

Featuring the rhythmic excellence of virtuoso Native American drums, this album focuses on a series of compositions interweaving rattles and drums with chanting, Native American flutes and modern mood textures. The heartbeat rhythms played on these drums form the basis of the compositions that draw sonic pictures of the spacious canyons of the Southwest and other sacred sites. Peter "Wyoming" Bender drew his inspiration for this album from his Commanche heritage and his many years of involvement with the Indian movement.

DAWN UNTIL DUSK: Didgeridoo & Tribal Song Ref: RWM2123

Adam Plack & Johnny White Ant Soames

A story of a day in the aboriginal lands of Australia told through didgeridoo and tribal song. "Two kangaroos come bounding through the bush heading for a waterhole. Two hunters search for crab in the mangrove swamp, and sing Injarda to ward off the mosquitos. The children, women and men gather together to sing and dance Waddama. As dusk comes over the land, slowly emerges the orchestra of bull frogs and crickets. In the still of the night we sit in silence and stare into the fire..."

DREAMINGS: Aboriginal Healing Didgeridoo Ref: RCD105CSL

Will Seachnasaigh

Music Therapist, percussionist and didjeridu master, Will Seachnasaigh, has lived among the Yolgnu people of Australia's Northwest Territory, studying the ways in which this ancient culture uses music for healing and meditation. The didjeridu, one of the oldest instruments known to humankind, is made from a simple eucalyptus branch hollowed out by termites. The aboriginal Yolgnu are capable of using this haunting horn to put both the player and listener into a deep and meditative healing state. The indigenous musicians who evolved this art used music to create a bridge between the ordinary world and the Dreamtime, a spiritual dimension of being, where the cosmos is given shape and meaning. In the Dreamtime a connection to nature and one's own basic instincts is the source of healing.

Those who hold Indian music, dance music, and electronica in equally high regard will find a lot to admire about this intriguing CD." - All Music Guide.

EXOTICO Ref: REDB83

Lara & Reyes

If Lara & Reyes' first two Higher Octave releases, "Guitarras Hermanas" and "Two Guitars - One Passion" introduced us to the mystical, flamenco-edged tandem's extraordinary musical chemistry, the duo's latest, "Exotico," establishes them as one of the genre's truly innovative world beat-tinged acts. While "Exotico" keeps the dynamic core of their voices on each track, there are exciting rhythmic variations and playful touches of instrumentation keeping the dynamics shifting at all times. A wistful flute and symphonic flair keeps 'Mi Ciudad' soaring, while the galloping 'Bahia del Palmar' proves that with Lara & Reyes percussion is never far from the forefront. Spry keyboard and flute solos propel the festive standard 'Brazil,' and 'Morning Rain' finds its smooth jazz voice via saxophone, but the heart of Lara & Reyes is found on 'Guitarras Ardientes,' which strips down to the explosive possibilities of three fiery acoustic guitars. "Our sound is geared around the format of two very talkative acoustic guitars in heavy conversation with each other," says Lara. "But within that, we can comfortably state that we are not purists to any one style. There are no borders to what we do, and this album opens up a wide variety of creative possibilities."
