New Age/World Music composer Grayhawk’s visionary and ambitious album, Voice of the Ancestors, serves as a triumphant conclusion to his Shamanic Trilogy which began with Shaman Journey and continued with Blissful Magic – Spiral of the Celtic Mysteries. 

Unprecedented in scope, Voice of the Ancestors, seduces the listener with eight emotionally-rich world-new age tracks that begins with three intimate trios, Transcendent Soul, The Banteay Srei Temple & Guardians of Goddess Thien Hau, featuring GRAMMY® WINNER Wouter Kellerman’s flute, Amy Shulman’s concert harp & the exotic Asian dan bau performed by its greatest master,
Hai Phuong. 

Complementing Grayhawk’s state-of-the-art keyboard & synthesizer sonorities, we are graced on the title track, Voice of the Ancestors, with the vocal enchantments & native flutes of Windwalker, the undulating, sensual worldbeat percussion of Brad Dutz, the ambient guitar of David Vito Gregoli, Karen Olson’s masterful viola, Jill Haley’s exquisite English horn & oboe, the gift of Kirsten Vogelsang’s violin-cello and the incomparable vocal interpretations of Randy Crenshaw. 

Then, in a surprising shift, the thunderous power of Peace Prayer  unleashes 160 tracks of invocation in English, Hebrew, Farsi & Arabic to all who will listen. The unparalleled, multilingual blend of voices performed with passionate professional precision by musical sages GRAMMY® WINNER  Darlene Koldenhoven, Randy Crenshaw, Ofir Engel (A.K.A. Queen Ofir) and Bahman Mojallal is so harmonious that we feel hope in our hearts that peace will break out worldwide. 

Finally, the listener can relax into the luxury of Ambient Meditation to relish a free-form improvisational sonic temple based on the themes and textures developed throughout Voice of the Ancestors. 

In early 2017, Amani Friend re-envisioned selections from his rich Liquid Bloom catalog to deliver new downtempo compositions into a contemporary electronic space. Subsequent to that Re.Generations release, Canadian producer AtYyA selected seven of the album’s tracks to put his own spin on them. Crafting whole new worlds around Liquid Bloom collaborators Poranguí, Deya Dova, Ixchel Prisma, Numatik, and more, Tyler Clark generously imbues his signature tribal tonic into these works, for a mysterious and pulsing fresh spin on these re-imaginings – one that balances the lightness of Amani Friend’s remixes with an intriguing, contrasting darkness.

The Yoga Sessions: EarthRise SoundSystem CD offers uplifting yoga music with a beat for power yoga and dance.

When EarthRise SoundSystem Derek Beres and David 'Duke Mushroom' Schommer first joined together to remix a song by popular mantra singer Deva Premal, they set out to create a new paradigm as to what yoga music meant. The result was a percussively rich, organically spacious and dubby soundscape. This approach laid the foundation for their full length album, The Yoga Sessions, a collection of 21st century electronically inspired yet organically grown original music that will redefine one's notions of yoga music.

DISCOUNTED: The case is cracked

Music as Medicine CD by Nawang Khechog and R Carlos Nakai offer a gift of soothing flute melodies and curative Tibetan chants and Native American chants of healing music to the world. Born in Tibet, Nawang Khechog spent his earliest years as the child of nomads. In his boyhood he first learned to play the bamboo flute, an ancient instrument popular in rural villages throughout Tibet. After the brutal subjugation of Tibet by Chinese Communists in 1949, Nawang and his family escaped to India. There he studied meditation and Buddhist philosophy, a path he followed as a monk for eleven years - four of them as a hermit. In 1986, he emigrated to Australia where he first performed, and his recordings achieved bestseller status. Nawang is best known for his collaborations with Kitaro, including a world tour and performances on Kitaro's Grammy-nominated Enchanted Evening and Mandala albums. His live performances with Philip Glass, Paul Winter, Laurie Anderson, Paul Simon, Natalie Merchant, and Baba Olatunji have received international acclaim.

Sample Tracks

Embrace finds this best-selling singer at the height of her art, expressing the ancient wisdom of mantra through a contemporary musical vision. Her gorgeous voice, richer and more assured than ever before, floats above a cool, sensual groove provided by some of today's finest world fusion artists. Deva Premal enthralled audiences worldwide with The Essence and Love Is Space. That phenomenal success continues with Embrace. Its relaxed, uplifting feel and elegant sense of space can only heighten the spell already cast by this mantra enchantress. Produced by Miten and Kit Walker (Walela, Kitaro, Pagan Love Orchestra), Embrace features a more fully developed musical dynamic, due in large part to virtuoso performances by such top flight musicians as Jai Uttal (dotar and distinctive vocals), Kit Walker (keyboards, grand piano, Hammond B3), Nepali native Manose (bansuri), Miten (vocals, guitar), Ty Burhoe (a star protégé of Zakir Hussain) and Marquinho Brasil (assorted exotic hand percussion).
