| | Mantaray Numinous Island CD Mantaray Discography of CDs
Mantaray was a brief collaboration between Susumu Yokota and DJ Ray; its entire output was this CD, recorded at Yokota's studio in 1994. Consisting of a long, continuous mix divided into 20 segments, Numinous Island is a warm, arrhythmic ambient program with an overarching tropical/oriental theme that is expressed at times by samples of birdsong and other natural sounds and at other times by exotic percussion, snatches of monastic vocalese, and hints of gamelan. One's reaction to this music will depend largely on one's previous feelings about ambient music in particular, and new age artists like, say, Kitaro in particular. Numinous Island suffers from none of the cloying sweetness and predigested mysticism that characterize the music of Kitaro, so those who find him nauseating will not necessarily object to Mantaray; however, Mantaray's particular take on the ambient sound does share a number of cultural referents with him, so Kitaro's fans may find Mantaray's music interesting as well -- though it may tread the line between rapturous and creepy just a bit too daintily for those who prefer their new age music utterly unchallenging. Is that a recommendation? Hard to say, isn't it? ~ Rick Anderson Mantaray Numinous Island Songs | 1. | Track #1 |

Out of a seemingly endless array of hip hop albums, every now and again something fresh and powerful rises to the top of the pile. Hailing from the Queensbridge Housing Projects in Long Island City (home to Marley Marl among others), 20-year old Nasir "Nas" Jones is less concerned with being an impersonator than with being an originator, bypassing adolescent fantasies and B-boy braggadocio in favor of jazzy beats, rap noir realism and new answers to urban despair.
ILLMATIC is his story, a cautionary tale of the inner-city streets, and as Nas makes plain on his opener, ...

DARSHAN'With a mind of deep faith we can enter into a divine communion'Dhrupad is the oldest existing form of North Indian classical music. The nature of Dhrupad music is spiritual, seeking not to entertain, but to induce feelings of peace and contemplation in the listener. The word Dhrupad is derived from DHRUVA the steadfast evening star that moves through our galaxy and PADA meaning poetry. It is a form of devotional music that traces its origin to the ancient text of Sam Veda, which was chanted with the help of melody and rhythm called Samgana. Gradually this developed into other vocal styles called 'Chhanda' and 'Prabandha' with introduction of verse and meter. The fusion of these two elements led to the emergence of Dhrupad.By the eleventh century, Dhrupad music had crystallised into a perfect form which has retained its original structure and purity through to the present day. One significant characteristic of Dhrupad is the emphasis on maintaining purity of the Ragas and the Swaras (notes). According to some accounts, Dhrupad was sung in the temples, with the singer facing the divinity. From this early chanting, Dhrupad evolved ...

DADDY A GO GO PROVES FATHER KNOWS BEST on "COME ON, GET HAPPY (THE BEST OF DADDY A GO GO, VOLUME 1)" “The lyrics are pure kid, but parents will hear nods to the Eagles, the Dead and even proto-punks the Vaselines. End result: a perfect soundtrack for changing diapers, washing the minivan or just bopping around the kitchen." – Newsweek“John Boydston celebrates kids and classic rock with slick '60s pop references, entertaining lyrics with a froth of good-for-you messages and feel-good, sing-along bounce.” – Los Angeles Times"You gotta love the brains and instruments behind Daddy a Go Go -- John Boydston, a former CNN producer and current stay-at-home dad who came of age in rock's golden era and is now trying to re-create it for kids. He does it with his original songs, groaner pop culture puns, smart covers and ripping guitar lines ... Daddy a Go Go proves again that he's one of kids-music's rockin'-est rulers." – Minneapolis Star-TribuneATLANTA, GA (February 4th, 2009) – Multi-award-winning children’s rock and roll recording artist DADDY A GO GO, a.k.a. Atlanta stay-at-home dad John Boydston, enthusiastically announces the April 7 release of his seventh studio CD, Come On, Get Happy (The Best of Daddy A Go Go, Volume 1) (Boyd’s Tone Records, $11.99, run time 37 minutes). A “greatest hits” album comprised of favorites from all six previous Daddy A Go Go CDs, Come On, Get Happy continues the Daddy A Go Go alterna-rock tradition of what Stomp & Stammer described as “upbeat, wildly entertaining rave-ups, sing-alongs and silly puns that have endeared the group to kids (and their parents) nationwide.”One of the leading proponents and practitioners of the kids’ rock music movement, former CNN producer John Boydston has been “rocking out and raving on” for families since 1998. The acclaim has been both unanimous and tremendous. Five of Daddy A Go Go’s six previous CDs have made Amazon.com’s “Best of the Year” critics’ list. Monkey in the Middle and Mojo A Go Go have been honored with the prestigious Parents’ Choice Award. The Washington Post credited Daddy A Go Go with helping change the face of kids’ music by moving “playroom tunes into the pop-rock era.” The New York Post enthused, “This is one hip daddy!” Kids’ music authority Warren Truitt (Kidsmusic.About.com, KidsMusicThatRocks.com) has characterized Boydston’s albums as “full of puns, parental pop music winks, and headbanging riffs … John Boydston lets the jokes fly and the rock and roll thunder.”Track One of Come On, Get Happy (The Best of Daddy A Go Go, Volume 1) is a rocking makeover of the Partridge Family theme, for which John Boydston says he “took the wimpiness out.” The album continues to roll out the rhythm with such numbers as the good time sing along “Nana-Nana Boo-Boo,” the infectious, bass-heavy twang rocker “I Can Swing By Myself,” a talkin’ blues number ...
