All of these pieces are available commercially - and while We make these TEMPORARILY available for you to sample we encourage you to purchase this music for yourself and suggest that if you like these pieces - then you will like everything by these artists.

SUPPORT THEM.

Here is how you use the player.

Click on the LARGE MP3 Button.
It will pop up a player in a separate flash window. This way you can change your page in the main window and it will not interrupt your listening pleasure.
on the lower left side you can click on the + (plus) which pops up an album list.

there is only one right now - that the "trad songs" album.
this will load all the songs from that album into the player.

click the upper Right corner X widget to close the album screen

now select a song to load it.

Then you can use the standard "Play - Stop" buttons to play music.

I hope you enjoy this selection, I have 5000 songs in my Ipod and these are some of my favorites!

OOPS

Sorry the music player was broke for a while.

I had moved all the music files aside to keep backups from being huge - an forgot to put them back.

I'll be configuring some new music soon, JIC you've gotten tired of the selection i have up there now.

I cant see the MP3 player *cries*

If i send you a track or two could they be added?

You have to have The adobe FLASH player installed.
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

when you do you will see the big MP3 Button.
clicking that pops up a new window with the player so that you can continue to move around the site in your regular window - and still play the streaming music from the flash player.

ah.. that really obvious really large and self explanatory button saying "MP3 Player" that i somehow missed earlier

*chuckles*

i see it now

Starting off with Daevid Allen and his joyous anthem "Deya Goddess" From the "Good Morning" Album.

I am told by Gilli Smyth that Daevid and Gilli lived next door to Robert Graves during their time in Deya Mellorca.

Since I have invoked her name, next up we have Gillis band "Mother Gong" performing "She's the Mother of . . ." reminding us all that the entire spectrum of the worlds Divine figures all had Mothers!

Next I present a rather obscure piece by Nina Hagen. Taken from her CD "Om Namah Shivay" which was originally only available on her website. It has been reissued and is now available from Amazon.
Kali Durge, namo namah
Kali Durge, namo namah
Jai! Mata Kali
Jai! Mata Durge

Following in an Eastern theme is the TransGlobal Underground Remix of Ja Sha Tan. Truly an eclectic offering since it is the vocal stylings of the late peaceful warrior Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan accompanied by beats created by self stylized "esoteric terrorists" FunDaMental. But its just such a tasty cut it makes me happy. I dare you to try and not move your body and shake your ass while this cut is playing - I just DARE you!

West Coast Mystic Mix masters AXIS MUNDI next with "Calling The Ancients". Careful you don't trance out to far, these Ancients are clearly some of the more powerful ones!

Lightening up a bit from that heavy excursion into the underworld I offer a fun techno diversion, circa 1990, of the old standard "Fascinating Rhythm" from Bassomatic (Produced by William Orbit)

Lets head back into Nina Hagen Territory to serve up some "Cosma Shiva" because I'm just not ready to get too normal with this months playlist.

Now a real treat - African Head Charge sings us "Dervish Chant" from their acclaimed CD "Songs of Praise" their fifth album which features religious chants from all four corners of the Earth.

Next up is a remarkable item from an extraordinary CD. "Initiation" from the CD "Winds Of Warning".
http://www.amazon.com/Winds-Warning-Digeridoo-World-Music/dp/B000001ZBC
Buy It - you won't be sorry.

It seems that I cannot put out a playlist without at least one solid Albion Country Band tune. I've done this one before, but I love it. "Albion Sunrise".

Coming near to the end of this musical excursion is Dougie MacLean http://www.scottishsongwriter.com/
and his infectous tune "All Together now".I culled this from the compilation CD "Folk N Hell" http://www.scottishsongwriter.com/

And we end this occasion with another Daevid Allen piece titled "You Never Existed At All". This piece was heavily influenced from Daevids New york experiences when he lived next door to William Burroughs who utters the "FINAL words of the piece.
What I want to know is what is Daevids secret that over the course of his life he keeps getting moving next door to cultural icons! Robert Graves - William Burroughs !! I'll have some of what HE'sS smoking!

Some great choices, Owen. Thanks!

cant wait to have a listen to those tracks as its always good to know more music.

Some favorites of mine at the moment are
Goddess Mandala (Music for the goddess)
Circle song 6 (Bobby Mc Ferrin)
