| | Juliana Woman Wisdom CD - Import Juliana Discography of CDs
A lot of new age albums offer little more than a tranquil ambience -- and for many of the stressed-out Americans who think of new age music as a way to try keeping their blood pressure down while coping with three kids, a mortgage, and a 60-hour work week, that's probably enough. But the more substantial new age releases offer more than just ambience and atmosphere; they offer creative, memorable melodies. Characterized by vocal personality and honest to God songwriting, British singer Juliana's Woman Wisdom is a cut above many of the new age releases that came out in the early 2000s. Enya is obviously a strong influence on this ethereal CD, and even though Woman Wisdom isn't quite in a class with Enya's best albums, Juliana has no doubt spent a lot of time listening to that influential vocalist. A few of the songs on Woman Wisdom are excellent -- especially "Arianna," the title song, and the traditional 19th century Irish gem "Marble Halls" -- and even the tracks that aren't great are at least decent. One of the reasons why Woman Wisdom may reach some people who don't ordinarily buy a lot of new age albums is the fact that Juliana doesn't confine herself to a new age bubble -- this CD is relevant to the new age scene, but it is also relevant to adult contemporary, pop, folk, and Celtic music. "Sacred Lake," in fact, underscores Juliana's interest in Celtic mythology -- an interest she shares with fellow new age artist Llewellyn, who produced and arranged this album and handles most of the songwriting. Since the early '90s, Enya has managed to attract a lot of listeners who have only a casual interest in new age -- and this enjoyable, if imperfect, album indicates that Juliana is also capable of having a broader appeal than the average new age artist. ~ Alex Henderson
Personnel: Juliana (vocals, flute); Llewellyn (vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards, programming, skin drums, wind chimes).

Steve Tyrell has had a long journeyman's career in the music business, serving as record company executive, songwriter, and producer. But no one could have predicted the twist his career took in the late '90s. After he sang standards on the soundtracks of the films Father of the Bride (1991) and Father of the Bride 2 (1995), he was signed up by Atlantic Records to make an album of similar material. A New Standard (1999), his debut album, was a sleeper, such that Atlantic cut him loose, but it was still in the traditional jazz charts two years after its release. Tyrell had joined a new wave of retro singers like Diana Krall ...
| | Icehouse Man Of Colours CD (1987) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Woman Wisdom music CDs
$15.15 
This album by the Australian New Wave band Icehouse includes "Crazy," "Electric Blue," and "My Obsession."
On their fifth album, the smooth pop style of Australia's Icehouse is garnished with even more bouncy synthesizers and lavish melodies than their earlier work. Lead singer Iva Davies elaborated slant is immediately forthcoming in all the tunes on this album, but is truly the best working part behind the group. Man of Colours' first two tracks attached themselves to the Top 40, with "Crazy" peaking at number 17 in 1987 and "Electric Blue" reaching number seven in 1988, a song co-written by John Oates. After ...

Woman Wisdom songs
$8.39 
Recorded between 1994 & 2001. Includes liner notes by Jonathan Widran.
Though his simplistic arrangements and often-repeated themes mark him as an artist more likely to be heard in an elevator than a jukebox, Marc Antoine is among the best of the mood music merchants active during the '90s and 2000s. A soft-toned player of the Spanish guitar, Antoine has a gift for intricate yet non-complex playing as well as strong melodies, and his compositions occasionally ...

| | Animals Retrospective CD (2004)
Woman Wisdom CD music
$15.09 
Today the most recognition the Animals get is "House of the Rising Sun" being played on oldies radio, but in the mid-1960s they were a powerful part of the British Invasion, often reckoned on a par with the Beatles, the Stones, and the Who. Like those bands, the Animals had strong roots in blues and R&B, but, in their original incarnation, they stayed closer to those roots than their peers did. This definitive compilation, masterfully assembled by the ABKCO think tank of Teri Landi and Jody Klein, shows the tough, uncompromising use to which the Animals put their American influences.

| | Gypsy Soul Sanctuary CD (1998)
Woman Wisdom music CDs
$18.99
SANCTUARY is an Enhanced CD containing a full audio program as well as multimedia computer files.
Test of Time, the debut album by Gypsy Soul, the duo of singer/lyricist Cilette Swann and guitarist/composer Roman Morykit, suggested what a second Buckingham Nicks LP might have sounded like if Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks had not joined Fleetwood Mac: catchy, folk-based pop/rock songs with inventive arrangements and compelling vocals (even if Swann's voice was closer to Christine McVie's than Nicks'). Three years later with their second album, Sanctuary, Swann and Morykit, still recording for their own label, seem to have given up what pop dreams they may have had by cutting the arrangements down and going in more of a new age/adult alternative direction. Most often, the arrangements feature beds of acoustic and electric guitars with a rhythmic underlay of Jaco Pastorius-like fretless bass playing and only occasional other musical elements, while Swann's voice takes center stage. This means she has to step up; if Test of Time had a weak spot, it was the relatively conventional nature of the romantic sentiments in the lyrics. It turns out she has a lot to talk about this time, and love is still the major subject, which she examines in songs usually set in the first person and directed to someone in the second person. (The only exception to this "I"/"you" address is the lonely "she" described in "Another Morning.") Sometimes things seem to be going well with the narrator and her lover; sometimes she seems to want more from him than she's getting; sometimes she is resolved to break up with him or seems already to have done so. In any case, she wants the same things -- affection, attention, understanding. Unfortunately, she tends to express herself in clichés and generalities rather than specifics. "I'm so tired of saving for that rainy day," she sings at the start of "Won't Be Wronged," "Can't be a back-seat driver on this trip of fate/Not a woulda, shoulda, coulda, kind ...
