Please fee free to review and vote(with the red stars) this cd. Your feedback and comments would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU.In the month of November 2008 I came across an old book written in 1935. It is called the Listener's Music book. I found this quote very interesting and would like to share it with you. "Someone else can compose music for you. Someone else can perform music for you. No one on earth can listen to music for you." by Olga Stokowski Listeners say this music is for "relieving big time stress, massage, quiet contemplation, yoga practise, pure relaxation, a stroll into the welcoming arms of nature...it's uplifting, inspiring, romantic, very picturesque, soothing, healing, a different journey every time you hear it." I just wrote a poem today, June 7th 2009: Each note is a drop of rain, Each note is a ray of sunshine, Each note caresses the stars, And washed away the pain, Then time has lost its name. by Mark Pinkus This cd is for those who love melody, moods of light and dark and in between, music that moves with the soul of nature and lullabies you into various realities and dreams. Breakthrough is about assisting you in breaking through the many barriers and obstacles that happen in our lives. Mark Pinkus was just named artist of the month for May 2008 on Canadian New Age Instrumental Satellite Radio. This solo piano cd was Recorded on a Grand Yamaha Piano. Total time: 65:05 "Canadian pianist Mark Pinkus brings a lyrical and vivacious sensibility to his craft, resulting in an album filled with dynamic, at times playful compositions. Breakthrough celebrates imagery from nature, ranging from trees to frogs, from shadows to birds flying in the spring. "Wherever You Are" evokes the longing of a long-distance love, while the "Bedroom Window" evokes a sense of the comforts of home. Perhaps what makes Breakthrough a total aural joy is how humble it is-in not trying to make a grand musical statement, Pinkus captures the grandeur of ordinary life." Carl McColman of New Age Voice. "Mark Pinkus calls his public performances Slowing down Concerts. I like the concept. His idea is to take time to slow down and enjoy, if only for a little while, the peace that comes with the decision. It appears that his contemplative solo piano album, BREAKTHROUGH, can help you do just that. My favorite track on Breakthrough is WHEREVER YOU ARE. First of all the title is terribly romantic. Second, I think that everyone at one time or another has felt this way. Just imagine being away from someone you truly love. Even for a short time. There is a pang in the middle of your stomach. You have a shortness of breath, you are sweating and you feel an incredible yearning at the bottom of your heart. That emotion, that very feeling is captured in Mark's song. It is where you want to be....I like this idea of slowing down, Mark Pinkus' music allows us to slow down almost guilt free. I think I would like to hear this composer in person, and slow down for a while." RJ Lannan from www.newagereporter.com "BREAKTHROUGH" is very different from Mark's previous writing, so passionate, romantic and active, a great ice breaker!" Renee Gelpi, host of Galaxie on CBC digital television, Canada "Mark is in full control of his performance on this CD, each piece wonderfully played, strong and emotional. My father had a recording of great romantic piano performances that he listened to regularly, and BREAKTHROUGH reminds me of that recording. PInkus makes many gestures towards the Romantic masters."

$12.39 Patrick O’Hearn: Glaciation (self-released)It’s been awhile since a disc of ethereal, slow-moving instrumental music (this once would have been called “new age”) has captured my imagination like Patrick O’Hearn’s Glaciation has. Like the glaciers and icebergs that adorn the lovely CD package, these compositions have a spare, mysterious, other-worldly beauty. I mean to pay this release a high compliment when I note that some of this music recalls the most evocative work of Brian Eno, in the way O’Hearn places the instruments in different ambient fields and the way the tunes unfold so naturally and majestically. But far from being just a keyboard/synth workout, this features ...

Breakthrough
$30.29 Although the success of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich was nominal in the States, they fared significantly better throughout Europe. Dave "Dee" Harman (guitar/vocals), Trevor "Dozy" Davies (bass), John "Beaky" Diamond (rhythm guitar), Michael "Mick" Wilson (drums), and Ian "Tich" Amey (lead guitar) were an instrumentally self-contained unit with a penchant for aggressive pop leanings that remained buoyant and catchy, while simultaneously flirting with the subterranean freakbeat and mod rock scenes as well. That distinction can be heard between the pulsating rhythms of "Hold Tight," "No More Love," and "We Got a Good Thing Goin'" -- recalling the unmistakable sound of the Dave Clark Five. "Frustration," "Hard to Love You," and "All I Want to Do" are among the standout rockers with a notably edgier sting and sonic punch. This is stylistically augmented by the equally moving balladry of "Here's a Heart" and the emotive midtempo "Something I Gotta Tell You." [Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich's recorded legacy is only partially represented by their LP, however. In many (if not most) cases, 7" single releases would boast considerably different mixes or tunes that were otherwise not available on the 12" platters. Enthusiasts of the band should take note of the 2003 reissue of First Album, as it boasts no less than a dozen bonus tracks consisting mostly of 45-only sides and alternate edits.] ~ Lindsay Planer
Granted, the collective moniker of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich doesn't immediately conjure up images of a stellar Brit-pop quintet. That said, Dave "Dee" Harman (guitar/vocals), Trevor "Dozy" Davies (bass), John "Beaky" Diamond (rhythm guitar), Michael "Mick" Wilson (drums), and Ian "Tich" Amey (lead guitar) left a recorded legacy as one of the most criminally neglected English "beat" bands of the mid- to late '60s. Although issued stateside, their platters garnered little to no airplay, sales, or subsequent support. That rendered them as virtual unknowns to all but the most academic of '60s Brit-pop enthusiasts. On this 2003 CD reissue of the combo's first album, Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky Mick & Titch, the original 13-cut LP has an immensely augmented tune stack with no less than a dozen extras -- consisting mostly of 7"-only sides, edits, and alternate mixes. To modern ears, the music of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich embodies much of the fresh-sounding and rhythm-centric lyricism that defined the mid-'60s British pop scene. However, their wide range of styles ...

Breakthrough
$15.19 BANGKOK RAINField recording captured during an afternoon rainstorm in Bangkok, Thailand. Recorded with an X/Y stereo mic. A listening experience to clean the audio palette. Simple rain and intense downpour. Running time: 47:00 minThere may be a crack before it hits and there may not be. It might happen without warning in the middle of a hot sunny day. The sun disappears. The sky goes gray. Thai vendors start to look like pit crews at a car race, their movements are orchestrated and syncopated. Awnings are rolled in. Garage doors that cover store fronts at night are rolled down. Food carts are rolled away. Lazy people get up off the street. Ladies scat. Water pours. The city comes to a halt for a few moments or part of an hour. Streets go from bustling and lively to lonely and deserted. Most of the time you don't even notice because you're running for cover yourself. Something about getting out of the line of fire is instinctive, whether it's in a war, food fight or rainstorm, you just feel it. You run. You get out. You take cover. The mystery sets in after the rain dies down. The panic that was everywhere is gone. The people who disappeared between buildings come back. Colors come back. Store fronts that fell from sight come back. Bangkok rain is tropical rain, monsoon rain, a fire hose in sky rain, the type of rain that makes you laugh as you run. From time to time there may be a drizzle or a day long raining, but ...
