20 Years of Sacred Musical Vision.......2002-12-27
What a gift ! I feel incredibly fortunate to have been given the gift of the Gordon's 20th anniversary compilation album Sacred Drum Visions from my wife for the holidays. It is trully an exceptional collection and likely my favorite of the all the Gordon's releases thus far, as it contains many of the best tracks from their incredible highly-acclaimed native music series including Sacred Earth Drums, Sacred Spirit Drums and Drum Medicine as well as 3 magnificent new tracks. The Gordon brothers music has really evolved in a number of unique ways over the years. And though their music stems from a native American influence it artfully combines sounds and instumentation from many indigenous cultures from around the world, making their sound trully universal; and this clearly shines through in this compilation. Perhaps the best thing about this particular release is the perfectly sequenced flow of each track into the next creating a sonic journey that reaches back in time and trancends the mundane world taking the listener on a journey of the Spirit and the Imagination. The 3 new tracks are really exceptional gems. I particularly like Faithkeeper Part I, which opens the CD and Light of the Canyon, the jewel within the center of these tracks. This CD is far more than a retrospective of the Gordon's amazing body of work, it is a powerful, transformative and healing musical journey of the heart. I highly recommend it.

Customer Reviews:
Peaceful World...........2006-08-11
A fellow Rascals fan sent me this CD as a gift. The Rascals have always been my favorite band but somehow I lost track of them around the time they released this CD. What a great feeling to be introduced to these old friends again...their music is timeless. While this CD is very different from their earlier work (and Eddie is gone), each & every song is well worth the listen.
Exploring their new-found musical freedom.......2004-12-31
After recording blue-eyed soul for Atlantic for years, The Rascals signed with Columbia Records and were given a new-found musical freedom that resulted in two extraordinary albums. Peaceful World and Island of Real. Both albums were a definite departure from their Atlantic hits. Unfortunately, the music buying public agreed. Both albums include significant jazz influences and are VERY well done. If you haven't heard them, you should. I frequently used the Peaceful World album, particularly the track "Mother Nature Land" when selecting new stereo components, because of the variety of instruments (and frequencies of sound) in the album. Very nice to listen to (again).
Enjoyable and Groovy -- Sly Meets the Rascals.......2004-09-08
This is a long-awaited re-release: One of the Rascals' best, released toward the end of their career, finds them reaching out to soul, extended jazz jams, and Sly Stone-like funk workouts. The mood is joyful, the musicianship high (with assists from some top-notch jazz artists sitting in), and the entire atmoshphere entirely enjoyable. Standout tracks include the title track, the cosmic "Sky Trane" and the chart hit "Love Me."
Great for late night.......2002-06-07
I used to play the hell out of this album in my college days in the early 70's. It always served as a great way to wind down from whatever party I'd come from, or if I was lucky enough to have company for the evening.
Lots of great tracks all through the album. The title track is a classic! The musicianship is great throughout.
ITS AWESOME............2002-03-06
Music to float and rock to as you sail through celestial islands. Let go. New age, before there was "New Age".

Product Description
The solo piano melodies for my fourth CD, The Voice, were recorded at George Lucas's Skywalker Sound Studio, and the album was produced by Will Ackerman, Founder of Windham Hill Records and Grammy Award winning producer and artist. This project follows three CD releases, and is my first as a full-time pianist and composer, Pianist of Peace(TM). These thirteen pieces take the listener on a journey that explores a wide range of emotions and themes. I trust that they will bring peace and hope to you in a very unique and personal way. There are two tracks that include the ethereal vocals of Noah Wilding (Captivating and Peace), and two that are accompanied by renowned cellist Eugene Friesen (Tears of Lament and Eternity).
Customer Reviews:
Outstanding!.......2006-02-27
I had received one of Stanton's previous recordings Still Waters from a friend last year. It found a unique and treasured place within my music collection. When I bought The Voice, I was expecting another CD of similar quality.
I was both surprised and delighted---Stanton's compositions have grown in both depth and breadth, and the CD is a whole level above Still Waters in multiple ways:
Technical excellence: the performance and recording quality is outstanding, in part due to the input of the very talented Will Ackerman and the world famous facilities of Skywalker Sound Studios.
Breadth: there is more variety of tone and form in this album than the previous, but within the variety there is still the necessary unity that prevents the album from being too discordant and still accomplishes well his basic mission of music "bringing peace to the soul."
Cello: As beautiful as Stanton's piano is, my soul has always been drawn to the cello, and his decision to exert his gifts to wed piano and cello on two tracks was simply beautiful.
Liner Notes: On this CD there are extensive liner notes on each track which give both personal insight and perspective and a clear testimony to the God behind them.
All in all, an outstanding achievement. Highly recommended.
From Solo Piano Publications.......2005-12-06
"The Voice" is pianist Stanton Lanier's fourth album to date. The first three recordings were self-produced (I haven't heard them), but this one was produced by Grammy Award winning Will Ackerman, who was also the founder of Windham Hill Records. Calling himself "Pianist of Peace" and his foundation "Music to Light the World," Lanier's melodies have spiritual inspiration and he incorporates scripture into his liner notes to explain where the music came from. However, he also states that his desire is for listeners to enjoy the music for itself and for them to receive a sense of peace and hope. Most of the thirteen tracks are solo piano, but two include vocals by Noah Wilding and two are piano and cello duets with Eugene Friesen. The recording was done at George Lucas' Skywalker Sound Studio, so the sound quality is exceptional. Drawing from a variety of human experiences and emotions, the music is both deeply personal and universal. Most of the songs are on the quiet side, but a couple are more energetic and joyous, which adds a nice contrast.
The CD begins with "Secret Things," a gentle and very melodic piece with a warm and peaceful flow. The title track is stunning in its simplicity and clarity. Quietly searching, one feels a strong sense of hope and peace. Gorgeous! "All Things" has a contagious energy and was originally improvised for an audience of middle and high school students. It is very joyous and free. "Resting" returns to quiet simplicity with a soothing a deeply relaxing piece that has a lot of open space between the notes. Another real beauty! "Peace" was composed in memory of a young child who died of leukemia. The first half of the piece is like a music box lullaby - sweet and delicate - and then the piano goes deeper and the ethereal voice of Noah Wilding comes in, suggesting an angel watching over all of us and bringing us peace. I love this one! "Freedom" becomes more energetic, describing how the human spirit finds true freedom through serving others in love. My two favorite tracks are the cello and piano duets. "Tears of Lament" explores the times of sadness and mourning that happen in life. Eugene Friesen's cello takes us deep within the pain of loss without becoming melodramatic or maudlin. Wow! "Eternity" is an invitation to a peaceful place, for Lanier a welcome home to heaven. In this piece, the cello is more poignant than sad. Both of these pieces are standouts.
"The Voice" is a very soothing a beautiful CD that can take you to a peaceful and gentle place and give a sense of renewal. Recommended!

Fine reissue of a classic set.......2006-05-24
Think about the stupidest, most formulaic Hollywood movies you can think of: cheesy action pictures, fluffy, unfunny comedies, big but stiff epics. Now imagine that one of the greatest living composers was working in Hollywood, turning out astonishing, hauntingly beautiful and stirring musical scores for these throwaway movies. That's what you get with this set: music Henry Purcell composed for some two dozen often utterly forgettable plays (trust me--I've read a number of them!) Occasionally, when he teams up with a playwright worthy of his stature, such as John Dryden, Aphra Behn, or William Congreve, the results are even better, but for the most part you can enjoy the music here without knowing anything about the original plays.
This set originally appeared as separate LPs in the 70s and 80s, and has been long out of print. That's a pity, since Purcell spent a good deal of his short professional life in the theatre, either writing the incidental music contained on these CDs, or the music for his larger works, the semi-operas (King Arthur, The Fairy Queen, and the like). Almost all of these works are enjoyable gems; certainly, they represent a pinnacle of English 17th century music. Purcell had a genius for spinning musical gold out of the most leaden lyrics (check out his Odes and Welcome Songs on Hyperion if you don't believe me), and he does the same with the song texts in these plays.
Hogwood and the AAM offer clean, listenable performances, and the sound on these old analog discs has been cleaned up and brightened--although they were pretty good, even in the late 70s. As with most Hogwood, emotional extremes are kept to a minimum, so the "otherworldly" nature of late 17th century music, so often emphasised in more recent Baroque performances, doesn't come across here. It would be interesting to see what a group like The King's Consort would do with this music, but this set fills the major gap in the Purcell canon quite nicely.
My only beef with the reissue, as with many reissues, is that the liner notes are rather thin for a 6-cd set--the lyrics to the songs, for example, are especially missed. Still, it's a worthwhile set, and a must for fans of Purcell, English Baroque music, or anyone who just wants to experience a taste of the last days of the Restoration stage.

Product Description
Sweet Seraphic Fire brings together two unique bodies of American sacred song: choral compositions from the New England singing-school tradition and the most popular Evangelical Protestant hymn texts in historic American use. In the late eighteenth century the New England singing-school movement produced America's first great sacred-music style, employing several genres of unaccompanied four-part choral compositions with the melody in the lead (tenor) part. The enormous popularity of singing-school music also promoted a canon of hymn texts shared across America's competing Evangelical Protestant denominations. This recording contains neglected masterworks from the New England singing school that also helped to create the American hymn canon. Marking a more recent turn in this process, we have also included some new settings of traditional Evangelical lyrics written by leaders in the revival of singing-school music that has blossomed in the Northeast since 1976. ! Selection of pieces for this recording was determined by correlating "The Norumbega Harmony"--our collection of one hundred six historic New England singing-school compositions and thirty contemporary works in traditional style--with a list of the three hundred most frequently printed hymn texts in America from 1737 to 1960. --Stephen Marini

Album Description
This triple award winner lets you share some happy, giggly moments with your toddler before snuggling down for nap or bed. Cheerful play songs, charming rhymes and gentle lullabies are easy to sing and play along with together. The games are toddler favorites; little fingers pretend they are ducks, reach for the sky, tickle and play peek a boo. The simple and sometimes silly songs inspire new verses about your own activities and experiences.

It's a hit.......2006-11-27
We have several of her CD's and we love them. My son is 16mos old now and loves her music.
A wonderfully cheerful musical collection!.......2005-08-31
Our daughter absolutely LOVES these CDs (we also have Sing a Song of Seasons)! She did have the advantage of participating in Miss Rachel's music class for a week this summer and although she was rather shy in class, she dances and sings along to this music at home and in the car. It always brings a smile to her face and seems to have a calming and relaxing effect (both on the kids and parents!). In my opinion, a "must have" for those rainy afternoons spent indoors!
Hello Everybody! is a triple-award winner.......2001-11-21
Hello Everybody! Playsongs and Rhymes from a Toddler's World
has won the American Library Association Award, the Parents' Choice Award, and the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Award.
My 3-Year-Old's Favorite.......2001-11-03
There's something about this folksy CD that grabbed my daughter's attention. It is the only CD she's wanted to hear since she first heard it. The songs are appropriate for babies as well as preschoolers, and are excellent "activity songs" as well. Buy it! You won't regret it! :o)
Outstanding Music For Young Children!.......2001-02-28
I'm sorry, but it doesn't get any better than this for young children. Rachel Buchman has a way of connecting with kids and engaging them in the music! This and "Sing a Song of Seasons" another of her albums are in constant rotation for our kids. They love to roll up in a ball like a pea, stretch up like a tree, and insert their own vegetables in the empty space for tht song. You'll see your children spontaneously singing and MOVING along to these songs, and that's why they're so good!
