High quality field recordings.......2004-03-09

Field recordings made in the 1970s of traditional music from various locations in Ghana. The musicians are accomplished non-professionals. The repertoire is traditional. In these senses is the music is much closer to what one would hear at traditional gatherings (such as the installation of a new chief) than say that produced by professional folk musicians such as Mustapha Tettey Addy or Foday Musa Suso. The audio quality of these recordings is quite high, though on a number of tracks considerable incidental crowd noise is also audible - in some sense adding to documentation of the social context of these performances. The Smithsonian CD "Rhythms of life, Songs of Wisdom" is similar but more stylistically diverse, including local brass bands, for example. Instruments played in these recordings include the axatse (a gourd rattle), dzil and chohun (similar to a xylophone or marimba), donno (talking drum), gonje (single stringed bowed lute), gyamadudu (bass drum), mpintintoa (single headed gourd drum), namuma (animal horn trumpet), wiik (flute). Number of tracks also feature vocals in local languages.

Fantastic! Magical! Unique! Creative! Original!.......2005-07-23

This is one of the best albums I have ever heard.
It is melodic and magical and definitely evokes the mood of
Fairies, Unicorns, Stonehenge, Druids and all kinds of wonderful ancient magical things.
I have Gerald's' other albums which include Angel Music, Star Music, Native Influenced music and `Meditation Music of Ancient Egypt` and `Zen Meditations`. I find each album SO different from each other in the best possible way.
I do Yoga every day and it's great to be able to do it one day in an Ancient Egyptian mood, the next in a magical ancient Stonehenge mood, the next day in a Zen mood, with Japanese kotos' and flutes and then other days to Gerald's angelic or celestial star music.
I read a review that called Gerald the `Mozart of the New Age`
I completely agree with this because his music has more variety, spiritual depth and beauty than any other living composer I have ever heard. He is definitely my favorite. I rate him with Bach and Mozart.
