ACOUSTIC PLANET Ref: REDA56

Craig Chaquico

Nominated for the 1995 Best New Age Recording Grammy Award, Chaquico's wonderful second solo acoustic album, which has spent over a year on Billboard's Top Twenty New Age Albums Chart, encourages the listener to "live lightly on the earth" while sharing instrumental snapshots of some of its most inspiring vistas. Cruising through a rich landscape of shimmering chords Chaquico hopes to touch and inspire people's concern for the environment. One Rock & Roll reviewer, sceptical of Chaquico's transition from lead guitarist with Jefferson Starship to New Age chart topper and environmental spokesperson commented, "Believe me the writing [of the music] is sweet, sweet, sweet. If this is wallpaper - and make no mistake, it is - I'm willing to stare at it all day."

ALLAH & THE PROPHET Ref: RMA110

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan the most revered Qawwal came to prominence to western audiences through his collaborations with Eddie Vedder and Tim Robbins (Dead Man Walking soundtrack), Michael Brook, Massive Attack, and Peter Gabriel (Last Temptation of Christ soundtrack) which would result in a number of tours and albums released in North America and Europe. Khan's Qawwali acts as a living testament to music's power to link all humans, unashamed of emotion, to the divine. At once soaring and penetrating, these sounds seem to rip open the sky, slowly revealing the radiant face of the beloved. Qawwals don't just sing, they sing from the very bottom of their hearts, and the men who accompany Khan in his ensemble do not just play music, they become music itself.

AWAKENING THE MOUNTAIN Ref: RWM102

Sekhe Gong Semara Ratih

A gamelan is an Indonesian orchestra composed mainly of tuned percussion instruments such as elaborate bamboo or metal xylophones. Gamelan groups in Bali usually center around an entire village, with the instruments jointly owned, and they play at temple festivals and other ceremonies. Semara Ratih, most of whose members are teachers or students at the national arts university, was formed to break away from this village-bound tradition. With the guidance of their musical director, well-known composer and performer I Nyoman Windha, they celebrate traditional Balinese music while exploring new and experimental works. Some of their most appealing and innovative pieces are heard here, including “Jagra Parwata” and “Kindama.”

BLACK BOMBAY Ref: RWM109

Black Bombay

The melodies are rich and involving, the rhythms direct and swaying, the Hindi vocals mesmerizing; together they produce a unique and innovative experience: a meeting between world and electronic music. Songs include “Revelation Dub,” “Life in Goa,” “Dancing With Shiva,” and “The Ganesh Peace Spirit.” “Mixes the concepts of trip-hop with Hindi vocals and a bit of Indian percussion... The vocalists used are quite powerful ones, with voices soaring over the instrumental tracks easily... It’s an interesting sound, going a little beyond the usual dance infusions with a more tranquil setting for the samples to stretch out in.” - All Music Guide.
