Kim Robertson
Classically trained harpist Robertson brings an improvisational sensibility to her performances of traditional and contemporary Celtic songs, layering them with accordion, guitars, percussion, fiddles, vocalese, and an electronic undercurrent for an eclectic fusion of old and new. “Dance to Your Shadow finds the musician delicately balancing her soothingly familiar new age compositions with newfound gentle folk-pop flourishes…. Her instrumental compositions (like the harmonica-fueled ‘O'Keefe's Slide’ and the opening track, ‘Morning Dew’) seem to be slowly moving aside to make room for more vocal pieces (like the pulsing and rhythmic ‘Not My Plaid’ and the subtle title track)…. Robinson's slight, breathy voice often slips into her songs almost unnoticed, acting as yet another lush instrument in the mix. Recommended for fans of well-crafted, starkly orchestrated new age music with a warm pop sensibility.” - All Music Guide.

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.
Nigel Catterson
For one third of our lives we occupy a world we know so little about. It can inspire, haunt, ethuse, arouse and terrify. Learning to navigate and understand this world is one of our big challenges. It is within this world that we find answers to some of the most significant questions that we pose, Dreamscape is my interpretation of the world - Nigel Catterson

Certain musical instruments, many of them thousands of years old, produce tones rich in natural harmonics. Once the 'root tone' of these 'drone' instruments is sounded, the body and its organs begin to vibrate with it, which often induces deep healing on many levels. Also contains an informative booklet.
Enchantment represents the finest example of the universal language of music. Inspired by musicians and poets from many lands, the album has created a beautiful harmonic tapestry of voice and cultural instruments that unite us all through this most wonderful universal gift.

Shahin & Sepehr
"E by Shahin & Sepehr is an upbeat driven album that will appeal to fans of jazz, adult contemporary, and new age. The melodies dance off the accoustic guitar with a flavor of both Latin and Middle Eastern accents, with rhythms that invite listeners to get up on their feet. The whole set flows together in a joyful, bright approach that will grab your attention from the first cut..." - New Age Voice. "If you like Spanish guitar music, E is a must. Shahin & Sepehr have created an album filled with a Spanish-Persian influence, similar to the Spanish guitar music of Ottmar Liebert, especially Liebert's Nouveau Flamenco (another must if you like Spanish guitar music)." - Gallery of Sound Gazette.

Babaji Bob Kindler & Jai Ma Music
This almost-ambient and nearly-echoing production of the original compositions by Babaji is awash with flowing Eastern rhythms and Western dramatic flair. How this four piece band produced such a lush, full symphonic sound out of one autoharp, a cello, a flute, a tabla and a table tarong is the sound engineer’s secret. The unusual mix of instruments creates a surprisingly satisfying sound. Resonating cello, or sometimes flute, deeply penetrates the belly while the listener floats on a stream of mellow autoharp punctuated by soulful comments of the tabla.

Top 5 on New Adult Contemporary radio charts, smooth flowing grand piano, flute and saxophone melodies are complemented by a rich undercurrent of Brazilian percussion. "From first note to last... a labour of love and this feeling can't help but be passed along to the listener." - Music Review.
Richard Buxton
Jazz influenced keyboard melodies are accompanied by guitars, saxophones, exquisite percussion and harmonic nature sounds. This is a musical portrait of our planet's complex harmonies and elegant simplicity - great for a cruise down the highway or across the sea.
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."

"This aural guide will give you insight into the eight distinct energies that impact our personal lives. The music is a blend of styles, all very light and reflective. Sacred sounds of the Eastern Buddhist lands blend with a gentle mix of Celtic harps and flutes as well as the Indian sarod and santoor.

Craig Chaquico
Celebrating and embracing past, present and future with rare spiritual and musical insight, instrumental music's acoustic guitar sensation ties his passion for Native American culture to reflections on his own life and more universal themes with expert groovemanship of top producers William Aura (3rd Force), Russ Freeman, Paul Brown and Rick Braun. "Not far from San Francisco, near Mill Valley where my studio is located among the redwoods, there is a rural intersection that locals call Four Corners. It is in this area that you can still find trails that are hundreds, maybe thousands of years old, that were one used by the indigenous tribes as well as the early pioneers, drifters and environmentalists. People and places from all four directions have inspired the music on this CD. Maybe every place has a Four Corners. Perhaps all of us are forever connected to each other and to every river and ocean, every tree and forest, to our mother earth, and to every star in the sky." - Craig Chaquico.
