*****************************************************

Something Flies Through . . .

Seems like time passes too quickly, 
when I'm not looking . . . 
but when I stop to watch the moments . . 
dance, like little kids . . . 
smiling, with a secret knowledge
I know that the road,
traveling beneath my feet . . .
takes me
to where I want to go . . 
and on the way
I can dance too . . .

the world can be a hard place to land
when you stumble and fall . . 
but music always
softens the blow . . .

I'm not always sure what I want to say about the music to which I listen.  Sometimes I am inspired and at other times . . . I just want to be still and hear every nuance, every beat, every breath of wind as it sighs through . . . SO . . . here are some albums I am listening to, today . . . I find them to be nice little traveling companions . . . to accompany me as I ride this planet through the Universe . .  spinning and dancing around the great campfire . . . flying through the gloriousness of space toward The Great Attractor  . . . finding no end . .  just the road, and along the way . . . great beauty . . 

the molecules of distant 
are endless . . .
and there,
where the ether ripples
like waves
on a still blue sea . . .
something
flies through . . ..

Zero-project, "Indian spirit (Jamendo edition)"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a78477/indian-spirit-jamendo-edition

A very well loved album by a very popular artist:

My review, written as Orangeupurple: "Wonderful . . . I love these Native American styled songs, those powerful drums, that bird like trill with the flute, that plaintive cry, that chant, that solemn beat . . . it all fills in with a unique feeling of a tremendous connection with the land, the beauty of the land, the ancient sacredness of the land, and huge distances across time and place and between peoples . .. . It sings of freedom, love and hope . . . and an enigmatic way of life . . . It fills my heart . . . it touches my soul. And against my tear stained cheeks I feel a healing breath in the winds of these songs . ."

My previous review: "You've always got my heart when you share your Native American musics . . . deeply spiritual and emotional . . or at least to me . . this particular track is quite captivating . . .. and I think of as earthy . . . a heart beat, like distant drums echoing throughout the Universe . .. time stands still . . clouds fill my vision and I am somewhere else . . . Perhaps at the beginning of existence . . . where all things were formed . . . the sparks of my campfire leap up to dance with the stars . .. and I find that I am one with all life . ."

Out Of Orion (Ox3), "The Breath Of The Great Spirit"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a102915/the-breath-of-the-great-spirit

Tagged as ambient, tribal, spokenword, nativeamerican, indians

What I said after I first listened: "The ambience and feelings of this album brought me into an inner vision . . . a kind of visual story . . . This Native American styled album . . . complete with perfect music and great vocals expressing various feelings and tales was simply mesmerizing . . .. This is the kind of album that causes you to close your eyes and lay back and just leave your world, traveling into another, enjoying a powerful experience of life through another's eyes. I especially loved "Lone Wolf" for reasons which escape me (No, I'm joking) . . . mainly because of the drums and also the sentiment of the poetry . . . and also perhaps because of the wolfish howling . .. "Tears of the Ancestors" was absolutely chilling . . . less Native sounding, perhaps taking us beyond this earth and into another horizon . . This was the kind of album that has an exceptional effect on me . .. the sound is stunning and the stories are presented in such a way as to give the feeling of being in the presence of a pretty good movie, play or other entertainment . . . giving me chills, or tears or a racing heart . . . I enjoyed this profound experience. edit: I swear that I could smell the smoke of the campfire . . ."

Randy Granger, "A Place Called Peace"

Tagged: drum, acoustic, american, indian, native, flute hang

My original review as orangeupurple: "Impossible to believe that there are these Native American sounds on Jamendo . .. I HAVE looked in the past and never found anything . . . These are beautiful and heart touching . . . a music that brings a little peace to my soul . . . simply carries me to the mountain crags and lifts me above the hurts of these grey city streets . . . the drums pulsate throughout my veins . . . revealing that road . . . through the wild places to my heart. . . yes, yes . . . the flute gives me the wings to fly, above the raining clouds. . . and the wilderness shelters me . . . and in the circle of the music . . . there is peace . . yes . . . there is peace. . ."

PERSSON, "Wings"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a115199/wings

WOW PERSSON . . . as good as ever. I loved this album .. . all of it . . "Isabelle" had such a beautiful melodic flavor . . . so much tenderness pushed home by that driving guitar . . . And including vocals (I Say Yeah), piano (Wings) and other goodies, embellishes and adds depths to PERSSON's already great sounds . . .

Roger Subirana Mata, "In the Air"

********************************************************************

Detlef Bard, "Holy Water"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a115885/holy-water

The intro was quite enticing . . . beginning with a swirling electronic sound and then quickly moving into a warm, mellow piano. This was a very relaxing piece and I found myself listening over and over . . the various instruments played so well together . . the tabla becoming a glowing heartbeat . . . and the strings (not bad at all) were a deep fresh breath wafting in on the wings of a dream . .. This is very beautiful . . .

Out Of Orion (Ox3), "Deep In Winter"

A beautiful, peaceful, calming collaboration between the exquisite Native American flute of C.S. Fuqua and Ox3's harmonious instrumental melodies . . . These are so gorgeous for the season of Winter . .. great for lovely background to any activity, bringing visions of lavender mists and quiet forests beneath a blanket of snow . . .

Mancy, "Barwy Jesieni"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a115417/barwy-jesieni

Beginning with a dramatic, dreamy, moody melody, this album brings us through the "Colors of Autumn" . . . from the melancholic moment when we sense the end of Summer; to the acceptance and revelation of the magic of color and sunshine . . through the sweep of storms and downpour of old leaves . . . each point in this design of nature is brought to our ears with a compelling composition, conveying sentimentality, emotion and closure as we head towards the black and white despair of Winter's soul. This is a wonderful Mancy album . . . spearing our hearts with his extraordinary talent . . . 

*****************************************************************

Van Syla, "Between the Clouds"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a115154/between-the-clouds

Sweet and sentimental . . . with a harmony that reaches down into the soul . . . this particular piece, of Van Syla's, makes me tear up every time I listen . . . The cello and the piano have a rapport which is divine . . . This is such a gentle, lovely melody, that I feel truly touched . .

*********************************************************************

arnoldsrecords, "e scapes"

Krzysztof Malinowski, "Catharsis"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a114927/catharsis

This was just what I wanted to hear . . . Uplifting music, with a clear sound; conducive to smiles and relaxation . . wings that lift me up as I listen . . . a breath of fresh air relieving pent-up pain . . . sorrow and grief flow away into an endless streaming breeze . . . Music has a way of touching the soul's deepest feelings . .. reflecting and inspiring the mind of the heart. This album is a tale . .. a tale of darkness and pain . . . a tale of escape and desire . . . . a tale of death and re-birth . . .

I especially loved the mystery involved in "The Fog (Mgla)" which was deep, with a throaty guitar and instrumental discussion and some ghostly flittering . .. this particular piece was quite involving and intricately beautiful . . . and mentally visual.

This was one of the albums I remember from the old Jamendo . . . this must be a re-release . . .. I remember listening to it for hours, writing a story that went with the idea of a nocturnal adventure through the rainy streets and into a cave . . . (I have been known for my vivid imaging) . . . I still love this album but perhaps I will find inspiration for a poetic or story share on my blog . . .[http://orangeupurple.blogspot.com/ ] because this music DOES take you on a journey . . . or not . . . depending on your mood . . . . but it is exceptionally nicely mastered and composed . .. an excellent listen . . ..

"Modern Classic"
http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a114791/modern-classic

Tunguska with two new delights to warm your dark, winterish nights . ..

With the likes of Pianochocolate and Fox in the modern classic album . .. one hears a range of instrumental styles . . from the dramatic to the sublime . . . an extraordinary listen . . powerful to say the least with a solid appeal, this album should be for everybody who likes music, period . . . I also want to add that the album cover is one of the more elegant ones and has a strong eye catching quality.

In the silence of the arctic nights, one can immerse oneself in soul shattering sounds, smooth and articulate, icy and dark, with the shine of light from the nearest aurora flickering with imagined warmth . . these pieces hold the frame for a relaxing afternoon . . .

Overall two outstanding albums . . . sit back and relax and enjoy . .. it can't miss.

I think that this is the kind of music that has healing qualities . . . Lovely!

arnoldsrecords, "Tibetan butterflies"

http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a113856/tibetan-butterflies

Beautiful . . . the gentle touches of the earthy flutes . . . and the build-up of the instrumental sound is lovely and peaceful . . a heart touching melody . . . settles in the soul like the tender touch of butterfly wings . . . an elusive brush against the soul . . . and then gone . . . but always remembered . .
