| | Clannad Macalla CD - Import Clannad Discography of CDs
Digitally remastered Japanese import has bonus mix for "Caislean Oir."
In signing to RCA Records in 1982, Clannad switched gears from traditional Celtic folk to more mainstream-oriented pop. 1985's MACALLA features both pop compositions and examples of Clannad's innovative, reverb-drenched ambient style.
The opening "Caislean Oir" is a lush vocal choir piece. The song, interpreted much like a Renaissance chant--with a distinct Celtic flair, of course--resonates with deep emotion. "Closer to Your Heart" and "Almost Seems (Too Late to Turn)" are particularly memorable. The electric guitar solo on the former shows off the superb skill of special guest Anton Drennan. Maire Brennan's vocal comes across as particularly inspired as she sings, "time will heal all your troubles away." But MACALLA's most moving song may be "In a Lifetime." U2's Bono sits in on this track, contributing an extremely passionate vocal performance.
Digitally remastered Japanese release featuring a bonus track: "Caislean Oir (Planet Heaven Mix)".
Engineers: Martin Pearson, Ron Kurz, Louis Austin.
Clannad: Maire Ni Bhraonain, Pol O Braonain, Ciaran O Braonain, Padraig O Dugain, Noel O Dugain.

| | Israel Iz Kamakawiwo'Ole Alone In Iz World CD (2001)
Macalla
$13.59 
While the name Israel Kamakawiwo'ole falls trippingly off few tongues, the Hawaiian singer better known as "Iz" was one of the biggest stars in his home state. Iz first came to public attention as a member of the popular Hawaiian group known as the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau. His subsequent solo career brought even greater fame, and countless fans were saddened at his untimely death in 1997. Those who mourn his passing will be gladdened by the posthumous release of ALONE IN IZ WORLD, compiled from various recording session outtakes.
While one might expect a big, deep sound to emanate from a gargantuan-sized body like that of Iz, the hefty singer actually possessed a gorgeous, fragile tenor voice full of tenderness and ...

d2b : Historyd2b means 'Directions to Bliss' and is the project name for the CD's that Bhakta produces with a number of musicians from all over the world. These cds are produced for the My Master Music label. The idea of d2b was born while Bhakta was recording in the late hours at the music studio at Osho's Ashram in Poona India. Many great singers and musicians come to visit the ashram and play together. The aim is to bring the best moments to you, the moments when the artist has disappeared into silence, when a fragrance of the unknowable becomes audible. Some of the artists that d2b has worked with include: Maneesh ( Indian Slide Guitar), Bharam (Santur / Nay/ Voice), Avinash (Indian Violin) Tamasan (Voice), Millind (Bamboo flute), Rashmi (Voice), Agar (Shakuhachi), Nadama (Piano), Antar (Sitar), Chirag (Veena).Bhakta Bhakta, born in Holland , plays guitar, bass, ud, percussion and keyboards and has produced and performed with hundreds of musicians from all over this beautifull planet Earth. He's worked for seven years in the Music-Studio at Osho's Ashram in India, recording and playing with countless master vocalists and musicians, and another three years in Kyoto, Japan imbibing the spirit of Zen and a further deepening into the art of Listening. In 2002/2003 he's releasing "Open Transmission" for New Earth Records, and "Drowning in Grace" ...
| | David LaMotte This Is My Song CD (2006)
Macalla
$12.69
With nine CDs, fifteen road years and over eighteen hundred shows to his credit, LaMotte has written songs on almost every topic imaginable. Within that wide range of subject matter, though, there has always been a thread of conscience, calling us to consider our actions or lack thereof and inspiring us for the work we need to do.Though best known as a touring musician, LaMotte has also performed, keynoted and taught at numerous progressive events, including work with world-changers as prominent as Desmond Tutu, John Fife and Walter Wink. His peacemaking efforts have taken him from Bosnia to Belfast. He has developed and taught writing workshops for survivors of the Columbine school shootings as well as a retreat for pastors on the relationship between art, spirituality and politics. David has presented workshops on three continents for organizations as diverse as the Songwriters Association of Washington, the Guitar Association of New Zealand, homeless outreach centers, and the Research & Design department of a computer firm. He has also been a visiting lecturer at several colleges and universities. In the midst of his extensive touring schedule, LaMotte has made the time to launch a non-profit organization, PEG Partners, Inc. (www.pegpartners.org), which works to improve learning environments in Guatemalan schools. In 2005 PEG funded the creation of a computer lab for the children of Pachaj, Guatemala, and in early 2006 a new preschool opened in the town of Tzanchaj, built entirely with donations collected at LaMotte’s concerts, and named in his honor.This CD project release coincides with his appearance at a large anti-war rally in Berlin in March of 2006, and consists of a retrospective look at some of his topical songs on peace, justice and hope over the course of his career. It comes in a cardboard sleeve without extensive liner notes or a jewel box, and is therefore less expensive than a standard CD (and easier to transport to Europe!). Only a thousand of these have been manufactured, and they will probably not be reprinted, but will remain a collector’s item.Of the ten songs on the record, two are from David’s forthcoming release, Change, and the rest are songs that he has previously recorded on other ...
