Audio Mixer: Chuck Ainlay.Recording information: Ben's Studio; Front Stage/Backstage, Sound Stage Studios, Nashville, .Photographer: David McClister.Considering the chart life of "Let It Rain, " the pre-release single from David Nail's sophomore album The Sound of a Million Dreams, it's curious to note that it's not the best song here. Co-produced by Chuck Ainlay and Frank Liddell, the album's sound feels more "live"; it's easy to hear these songs as concert entries. Nail wrote or co-wrote three tracks here, including the single, but it's the other cuts that have more impact -- at least musically. Lyrically almost everything is well inside the strict confines of contemporary country subject matter -- as evidenced by the opener, "Grandpa's Farm." To be fair, despite its truly awful words, the track feels more like a tough, funky, bluesy Southern R&B groover. If Delaney & Bonnie were recording in the 21st century (and trying to make money), they might sound something like this. The backing vocals by Joanna Cotton

Sound Universe In The Key Of Earth CD In the Key of Earth is a celebration of our planet as a living organism, with its pulse, breath, rhythms and cycles - resplendent and musical. In this ambient recording, Marjorie bends and reinvents the boundaries between sound and music through seldom heard harmonics created with acoustic instruments. Ohm is the fundamental tone upon which all effects are built, chosen because Earth is our fundamental place of life. The overtones and harmonics are like colors, prisms of light playing off the fundamental of Ohm. Like an abstract expressionist, Marjorie plays her instruments, but not as one would anticipate. Nuances and unexpected harmonics are accentuated and incorporated as compositional elements. The effect is captivating, symphonic and inspiring. The sound vibration of Ohm is relaxing and energizing. Resonating with Ohm can enhance breathing, relieve body tension, assist in meditation and pain management, and help facilitate yoga poses. The sound wave created by the Ohm Tuning Fork works like kinetic energy to move disharmony and tension from the body while restoring a sense of well-being. Sound Universe's quality standards are very high, and Sound Universe works with the premier tuning fork manufacturer in the US. Sound Universe's forks are made with a space & medical grade aluminum alloy and are precision tuned to within 0.5% of their indicated frequency.Sound Universe haschosen not to color their forks to reduce environmental impact. Both anodizing and painting (which requires an additional degreasing process) are toxic to the environment. Sound Universe's Ohm Tuning Forks are now stamped with ohm therapeutics and the OM symbol. In addition, Sound Universe hasthe bottom of the stem of their tuning forks sanded smooth to ensure maximum comfort when the Ohm Tuning Forks are applied to the body.

Includes liner notes by Kei-Ichi Nakamura.To the uninitiated, all songs on a given Kodo album sound the same. To the initiated, though, subtle differences, as well as broad ones, can be noted. On Best of Kodo, the band cuts loose on a journey through their own history, piecing together a compilation of some of the best tracks in current Japanese music, further still, music in general. The album starts with "Lion, " a fast-paced round of drumming and grunting, then moves on, past the flutes of "Irodori, " to rest on "Yumi-Ga-Hama, " which sounds nearly like something from the Edo period. "Zoku" has a throbbing beat and a quick call-and-response vocal section. "Kazauta" is another of the heartbeat-paced pounding songs, and "Monochrome" is a complicated polyphony of lighter drums. "Yu-Karak II" is almost a conga rhythm, and the album ends on "Yatai Bayashi, " which is basically a jam session of Taiko drummers. This album is a perfect place for those new to Taiko to begin, as it gives the full variety of sounds possi
