Release Date: June 01, 2010

"Transforming the solo piano into an instrument of healing, Steven Halpern's latest CD is a masterpiece of inspired Zen impressionism. It transports you to the place of peace we all seek." -- Leading Edge Review"Steven Halpern is one of the Top 12 most influential keyboard artists of the last thirty years who changed the way we listen to music." -- Keyboard MagazineIdeal for meditation, relaxation, and aural pleasure. Sure to please long-term fans and new audiences alike. Includes an "Inner-Peaceful" arrangement of "Amazing Grace." All-new material recorded in audiophile format. Over thirty-five years ago, Steven Halpern began developing a new tonal vocabulary for the piano that allows the higher harmonic overtones to speak as eloquently as the notes themselves. There is spiritually uplifting energy that comes through his music, which many listeners notice immediately. Peace of Mind makes it easy to "get in the gap"--the space between notes and thoughts. Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer elegantly describe it as a space of pure potential and connection to the divine. These performances were completely improvised and recoded in one continuous flow that lasted almost two hours. Peace of Mind is a must-have for all Halpern fans, piano lovers, and anyone who seeks to nurture body, mind, and spirit with the healing power of sound. Steven Halpern is an award-wining composer and recording artist whose music has touched the lives of millions. His recordings carry an energy of light, love, and healing, and are heard in leading spas, yoga and massage centers, and homes around the world.

Sundazed is proud to release The Velvet Underground Singles 1966-69, a 7 x 7" single box set honoring the legendary New York combo's 7" vinyl output in their rare mono versions. The set features exact reproductions of Velvet Underground singles, two of them with their original picture sleeves. The singles are packaged in a distinctively designed box, along with rare vintage photos and new liner notes by Rolling Stone's David Fricke (who also penned the acclaimed notes for the historic 1995 Velvets CD box set Peel Slowly and See). The Velvet Underground--whose membership included Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, Maureen Tucker, Doug Yule and Nico--introduced numerous sonic and thematic innovations that laid much of the groundwork for punk and alternative rock. Although they're now acknowledged as one of the most influential bands in rock history, during their existence the Velvets barely registered on mainstream radar, and were often reviled by mainstream observers as well as hippie-era arbiters of cool. But, as Fricke writes in the new set's liner notes, "Somewhere, in another rock & roll universe, the Velvet Underground are more than a legendary band. They are stars, with hit singles--the original seven-inch masterpieces inside this box." Although they never came close to scoring a hit, the Velvet Underground was ideally suited to the 7" single format. "The Velvet Underground were a great singles band, " David Fricke notes, adding that the Velvets "invented modern rock with searing guitar distortion, throbbing improvisation and brutally realistic tales of life on the wild side. But they did it all in these classic pop songs--compact miracles of raw drive, intimate beauty and Top 40 ecstasy, heard again in the original, thrilling mono single mixes." The seven singles included in The Velvet Underground Singles 1966-69 comprise the four Velvets singles originally released in the U.S. on the Verve and MGM labels, plus an additional pair of singles that were prepared for release but never made it to the marketplace and a special radio-only promotional single. The singles feature alternate mono versions that differ in significant ways from the songs' better-known stereo album versions. For instance, the band's 1966 debut single "All Tomorrow's Parties" appears here in a special mono edit that amplifies the song's melodic beauty and sonic tension, and a mono mix of their sophomore single "Sunday Morning" emphasizes the song's haunting quality. Meanwhile, the mono single version of "White Light/White Heat" exemplifies the vintage Velvets' stark, distortion-laden fury, while a mono edit of "What Goes On" accentuates that song's inherent pop jangle. The Velvet Underground Singles 1966-69 also includes two unissued singles, one with a never-released pairing of "White Light/White Heat" backed by "I Heard Her Call My Name, " and the other with "Temptation Inside Your Heart" and "Stephanie Says, " recorded in the waning days of the band's classic Reed/Cale/Morrison/Tucker lineup and unheard by the public for nearly two decades thereafter. The set's seventh single is a reproduction of a vintage promotional disc, a two-and-a-half minute radio spot promoting the band's eponymous third album and featuring legendary disc jockey Bill "Rosko" Mercer, with excerpts from "I'm Set Free, " "What Goes On" and "Beginning to See the Light, " as well as a picture sleeve with an un-airbrushed variation on the album's iconic cover art. By presenting the Velvets as a singles band, The Velvet Underground Singles 1966-69 shows, in David Fricke's words, "rock history the way it should have been: the Velvet Underground as the New York Beatles, guaranteed to blow up your radio and your mind."

As such, this "on top of our game" album doesn't try hard to please, and when a rock-reggae group starts a song with "Woke up this morning" -- which happen here -- it's dangerously close to clichéd territory, but the enthusiasm, the musical skills, and the cottage industry love poured into this effort overcome the arguable shortcomings. When "Route Around" drives by with its pop ballad style and nylon-string guitar solo, the bar is raised and the horizon is broadened; then add a love of nature that's beautifully communicated through "Meant to Be" and Rebelution are much more than a bleach-blond cr
