Space music composer Michael Stearns also composes for large-screen IMAX movie documentaries. The Lost World is so massive it could easily fill the theater, even without the movie. The lost world of the title refers to the towering rock pillar and cliffs and the thick tropical rain forest of Mount Roraima in Venezuela. The area was so mysterious and so full of adventure that in 1912 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote an adventure novel, a book that captivated Stearns as a boy. Stearns traveled by jeep, river, and foot to explore the region, returning with spectacular images and sound samples for this Cinemascope movie for the mind. The music is vast, immense, with drums as loud as dinosaur footsteps, organ drones as thick as impenetrable cliffs, and gongs as tall as the mountain's thousand-foot waterfall. Of course, the little band of explorers is overwhelmed and outnumbered by the territory and its legends. A local porter tells a scary tale while taking shelter in a cave, and the legend springs to life right from the speakers. Nothing -- exploding volcanoes, fields of crystals, natives peeking around every tree, man-eating insects -- stops the band of intrepid adventurers from marching onward into the unknown. Stearns' music is so descriptive that dinos will pound through your speakers. Like a good summer blockbuster, this album's a winner. The operative voice of Keri Rushtoi adds considerable drama to the adventure. Liner notes rate a "thumbs up" for spectacular photography and setting the scene. ~ Carol Wright

$14.29
This version of A CELTIC TALE is narrated by Fiona Ritchie, host of The Thistle and Shamrock on NPR.
A CELTIC TALE is an ambitious undertaking from the brothers Danna, a musical interpretation of the Irish legend of Deirdre, the beautiful lass who, engaged to the King of Ulster, falls in love with another. Her tale of prophesied doom, romantic longing, and bloodshed is told with great sensitivity and power, always haunting but never melodramatic. The enclosed booklet recounts the tale, although, like a great film score, knowledge of the story isn't necessary to enjoy the music.
Early in the song cycle, the Dannas paint pastoral images with standard Celtic folk instruments and sweetly melancholy phrases. Harp, bodhran, Uillean pipes, tin whistle, various flutes, and mandolin recreate verdant fields and dark forests. As the tragedy unfolds, the sound becomes orchestral, almost stately. A martial theme with fife and drums ...

| | Desert Wind Shekhina, Hebrew Goddess (Restoring The Balance) CD
Lost World album
$11.39
The Indian musical influence of the sarod and tabla is unmistakable in Shekhina, Hebrew Goddess by Desert Wind. The underlying theme of this deeply spiritual work, masterminded by Allan Scott Bachman, is the need to restore a balance to our spiritual lives. It is music with soul-searching meaning for an active meditative state of mind. For the pure music lovers, there is exotic music galore: rich and spicy Indian melodies with an Oriental matrix overlaid with Western rhythms on guitar and synthesizer. Religious and world music aficionados will recognize and enjoy the sound of the shofar or ram's horn in "Goddess of Peace." ~ MusD
New Age Retailer, 2008: "Musical celebration reawakening and greeting the feminine divine. Shekhinah's love, light, power and mystery are revealed through the muti-cultural rhythms and sounds of Desert Wind. Glorious female vocals illuminate Her secrets from the Torah, Talmud, Zohar and Kabbalah."Thanks to the Desert Wind fans who have kept this CD alive, and thanks to Reb LĂ©ah Novick for re-kindling Her spirit, Desert Wind now presents "Kabbalah Shekhinah: Restoring the Balance." This is the long awaited digital remaster of Desert Wind's 1993 CD, "Shekhina, Hebrew Goddess: Restoring the Balance." If you own this already, then you have all these songs in analog technology. Digitally enhanced, Kabbalah Shekhinah glorifies the radiant presence of the Feminine Divine.Desert Wind embraced Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism long before the recent surge in popularity of Kabbalah. With the new title may those in search find their way to "Kabbalah Shekhinah: Restoring the Balance.""Lush and Inspiring.... Danceable with Great Fullness of Spirit" ~ Rabbi David Wolfe-Blank Berkeley, CA"The time is ripe for this music as Shekhinah transforms our consciousness. This [music] will transform the Listener." ~ Geela Rayzel Raphael, Philadelphia, PA"The music we have been waiting for...a blend of ancient, holy, and new age music with a sustained release infusion of kabbalistic essence of Shekhina's healing light, love, power and mystery. I can't stop playing the music!"~ Rabbi Ayla Grafstein, of the Ruach Hamidbar, Spirit of the Desert Congregation, Scottsdale / Phoenix, Arizona "The music and lyrics contain a blend of Middle Eastern, Spanish, Celtic, and Hindustani influences... about half in Hebrew and half in English. Sources are Old Testament, Talmud and Kabbalistic writings, showing the survival of the triple goddess in the basic foundations of Judaism.Unique and Recommended!" ~ As reviewed by Ladyslipper."The underlying theme of this deeply spiritual ...
