| Desert Wind - Christmas Rhythms of the Holy Land (CD) | |
 |
An extraordinarily innovative and creative endeavor which Desert Wind thinks of as their gift to the world community. If you are tired of hearing the same old Christmas tunes, and want something more, something new, enlivening, powerful and elusive, this CD delivers! It is a refreshing change from the ordinary holiday music. Familiar Christmas songs are merged with luscious ancient rhythms from the Middle East. The exotic rhythms infuse the standards with new energy, making this the premiere holiday album to add to your collection. Yet, the album is distinct in that it does not overwhelm the listener as being entirely 'Christmas music.' While most of the tracks are Christmas songs, there are a few festive pieces you’ll want to hear and dance to year round. While mostly instrumental, a few of the songs include soulful vocals delivered with insurmountable passion and drive. Amazing Grace is one of these, and is bound to be a year round favorite. As usual, the instrumentals are a percussive blend of rhythmical spice and powerful, sultry, passionate zeal. Adding to the album’s immense grace and proportion is the final song which is added almost as a closing prayer, Tikkun Olam (Healing the World.) Overall, this CD is one holiday album that anyone (even those who don’t care for Christmas music) can enjoy. 15 tracks. |

| Desert Wind - She is a Tree of Life (2 CD Set) | |
 |
Lush and inspiring, this compilation of music is food for the heart and spirit, done with sensitivity and soulforce. While this 2-CD set is a re-release of the best Hebrew songs from Sarasvati (PLUS five original Desert Wind versions of Hebrew favorites), you can hear Middle Eastern chant, belly dance sensuousness, and classic rock influences, as well as lyrics that sing of repairing the world. The power and grandeur of the sound comes from the Hebrew verses and from the Desert Wind singers, who do a kind of Temple Priestess vocalese. These songs and chants are a gift to those of us who like to dance as we pray. They have a strong pulse and a hot core, and they groove the body as well as the mind. |

| Ecklar, Julia - Divine Intervention (CD) | |
 |
The year was 1986. The singer was only twenty-two, but since childhood she had been captivated by the worlds of wonder and imagination that she discovered in fantasy and science fiction. In later years, she would become a John W. Campbell award-winning writer of science fiction stories and novels, but for now she poured all her imagination and creativity into crafting songs that combined haunting beauty with a sweeping narrative style. The result was Divine Intervention, an album that shattered the boundaries of science fiction and music with delicate orchestral and pulse-pounding rock settings of Julia Ecklar`s song-stories. We are delighted to unveil this long-awaited CD edition of Divine Intervention, featuring the original album tracks polished and re-mastered for CD plus fourteen minutes of previously unavailable and new productions by the Divine Intervention musical team. 17 tracks. |

| Emerald Rose - Archives of Ages to Come (CD) | |
 |
This CD has been about two years in the creation, and is really our second full-length studio CD ('Bending Tradition' being our first, in 2000). Our intent was to focus on original songs, pulling in mythic themes and a variety of moods. We find that each song has its own life and its own speed of development, no matter what we may WANT to happen 'Dagger of the Moon' has been evolving since before 1998, and 'Three More Drops' since 2001, while 'For Blodeuwedd' came together in less than a week, and 'We Come From Monkeys' in about three months. We feel that Emerald Rose is changing its style from a Celtic folk style into more of an 'art rock' sound with Celtic roots. Listeners may find this compilation to be a bit more in line with groups like Great Big Sea, and you may hear some classic rock influences from Jethro Tull to ZZ Top here and there. We`ve had several instrumentation changes in the last couple of years as well: Logan has introduced the mandola in more tracks and experimented on guitar with 'Nashville' and other tunings, Larry has been developing on low whistle and Uilleann pipes, and we`re using more percussion based around the Roland HandSonic, often with a more of a 'drumkit' rock feel. In 2004, when we had the good fortune to play for the 'Return of the King' Oscars party in Hollywood, we felt it was important to have a new promotional CD for that event. We made a mad scramble to put together what new songs we had developed, along with some 'classics' from previous albums, and the result was 'Songs for the Night Sky' (2004). The response from fans was tremendous, and helped to reassure us that we were on the right track. This was intended from the start to be a limited release, and we always knew these songs (Urania Sings, Come To The Dance, Gwydion`s Song, and Take Me Down) would appear on a full-length CD. The versions here have been remixed, enhanced, and professionally mastered. Finally, we`ve included three songs drawn from Celtic tradition: Andy M. Stewart`s 'Queen of Argyll' (one of our favorites from the Silly Wizard days), 'Irish Heartbeat' from Van Morrison and the Chieftains, and an adaptation of an old folk song 'Wheel of Fortune' with some Tarot-inspired lyrics from Arthur. The development of a CD is a roller-coaster ride, with moments of sheer delight, periods of screaming frustration, and long hours of grueling, carpal-tunnel-destructive work. We hope the end result is worth it! -EMERALD ROSE, August 2005 |
