"Kindred Spirits" by Aaron Lawrence (Ambient/New Age artist from Colorado (CO))

"Kindred Spirits" by Aaron Lawrence is a unique and intriguing approach to ambient/new age music. Gathering inspiration from the mystic creature known as the wolf, Aaron's Native American compositions demonstrate a great talent for creating tunes that are pacifying and spiritual in nature. Appropriately mixed with sounds of nature (such as the sounds of waterfall in "Stream Song" and wolves crying in "Choir Practice"), these tunes carry about a new dimension of unrestricted life. When all is said and done, it is easy to see that this CD successfully connects with listeners on a deep spiritual level.

"Romero" by Robert Sabin (Jazz artist from New York City, New York (NY))

"Romero" by Robert Sabin puts a unique spin on what we know as jazz. Innovative compositions are brought to life by Robert's skilled musicianship. These free-flowing structures vary widely in mood, from very dark and somber to mysterious. "Helicopters" and "ZWKDD" both exhibit great brass arrangements, and assume a form closest to traditional jazz. "Dog Shot" radiates a very thick theatrical atmosphere of dread and mystery. Moreover, "Monkey Farm" takes on a nice rock edge with its lead electric guitar melodies. All in all, "Romero" is an outstanding instrumental jazz collection finished with brilliant production! Fans of jazz will be both intrigued and amazed by this collection!
