Back in the early '80s, it was easy for urban hipsters to dismiss new age in general as mind-numbing elevator music. But as time passed, the new age genre grew to be so diverse and eclectic that sweeping generalizations became increasingly problematic. These days, a lot of the music that is categorized as new age is fairly interesting; Medwyn Goodall is a perfect example. The British guitarist/producer/composer is among the people who combine new age with a variety of world music; his previous CDs have tended to appeal to both new age and world audiences, and there is no reason why Rhythm of the Ancients won't do the same. In the past, Goodall has experimented with everything from Celtic to Asian music; this time, he has a South American state of mind. The term South American music can, of course, mean a wide variety of things -- Argentinean tango and Brazilian samba are both part of South American culture, and Goodall doesn't get into either of those things on Rhythm of the Ancients. Instead, this 2002 effort combines new age with the traditional Andean music that one associates with Peru and Bolivia. Goodall plays traditional South American instruments on this instrumental CD (including the charango), but he also plays everything from keyboards to the marimba -- and the end result is a thoughtful Andean/new age hybrid. All of the adjectives that new age enthusiasts love to hear -- words like calm, serene, peaceful, and tranquil -- are applicable on "Lost City," "Chamber of the Gods," and other tracks. However, the album is also substantial and intelligent. For all its serenity, Rhythm of the Ancients has a fair amount of meat on its bones. ~ Alex Henderson

Rhythm Of The Ancients songs
$15.35 Continuing his musical journey around the world, Medwyn Goodall travels to Tanzania, where he encounters Africa's tallest peak and, according to the local Chagga people, the mythical home of an angry god who punishes anyone who tries to climb it. SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO was composed in response to the death of Martin Friend, who was murdered by Interahamwe rebels in Uganda just before he set out to climb the mountain. The killing resulted in a group expedition, organized by the Duchess of York and ...

Rhythm Of The Ancients CD music
$12.79 Like those albums, too, THE RISING was recorded in Goodall's self-constructed studio and features Goodall playing all the instruments himself, including various guitars, synthesizers, flutes, mandolin, samplers, and a variety of percussion devices. From the sultry airs of "Invocation, Pt. 3" through the pulsing, ambient strains of "Temple Journey, Pt. 2," this addition to Goodall's MEDICINE WOMAN series is positive, relaxing, entrancing music, and a testament to the artist's formidable musical ability.

| | Steve Roach Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces CDs (2003) Digipak
Rhythm Of The Ancients album
$18.95 On MYSTIC CHORDS & SACRED PLACES Steve Roach has created a musical tableau intended to speak directly to the inner spirit. Each track washes over the listener as vibrant sounds radiate from Roach's vast keyboard array. This isn't music per se, but powerful sound effects. However, like musical composition, these sounds communicate to a listener in ways that conjure up vivid mental images, deep visceral feelings, and other potent emotional responses.
Roach's title links his "sound paintings" to both the mystic and to the sacred. This is fitting since all 15 tracks evoke a very real sense of solemnity and inscrutability, the hallmarks of mysticism. On "Oracle," breathy keyboard chords float effortlessly while indiscriminate pitches come swirling past one's ears. This track drones on and on, centering itself on a wavering E flat note for over 20 minutes. Yet, there ...
| | Terry Stafford Say, Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose CD (1973)
Rhythm Of The Ancients CD music
$11.95 There were two distinctive phases in Terry Stafford's meteoric decade-long recording career. The first segment was catalyzed by his one dynamite hit single, a 1964 cover of Elvis Presley's "Suspicion." Stafford's early recordings were mostly punctuated by squinky outbursts from a Farfisa or Vox electronic organ. "Suspicion" was a formulaic marvel of great precision, second only to the Elvis original and a spoof version by the Bonzo Dog Band. Stafford's brief second and final period is represented by the album Say, Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose. Recorded for Atlantic in 1973 and reissued on CD by Koch in 2007, this country-pop production album brought him some measure of success but not enough to sustain his flagging career, for after 1974 Stafford appears to have stopped making records altogether. In addition to the title track and "Amarillo by Morning," points of interest are "Big in Vegas" (co-written with Buck Owens), "Shelley's Winter Love" by Merle Haggard, ...
