Album Description

"Spiritual", "Dramatic", "Passionate" and "Soaring" is how David Boswell's debut CD -Hold Tight To Your Dreams- is being described. His music takes you on spiritual and emotional musical journeys........From the sounds of contemporary jazz to the dramatics of pieces which would find themselves comfortably on the big screen in an epic film, David's music captures the listener with well-composed and skillfully played melodic tunes. David Boswell is a jazz guitarist with a rich sense of power and emotion in both his playing and his composing.

Smoothjazz.com Review.......2004-11-26

This is a Smooth Jazz album that's definitely got some meat on its bones! Superb musicianship and a fascinating variety of sounds and textures make this album a truly compelling breath of fresh musical air. Guitarist David Boswell (who, by the way, is famed pianist John Boswell's younger brother) uses 6-string electric, 6 and 12-string acoustic, and guitar synth variously on this impressive project, embellished with intriguing rhythm and percussion from Randy Drake and M.B. Gordy III respectively, fretted and fretless bass from Dean Taba, beautiful piano work from brother John, and even low whistle and Uilleann Pipes from Eric Rigler (Titanic, Braveheart, & Road To Perdition Soundtracks). The variety of soaring guitar voicings you'll hear on HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR DREAMS will capture you in its spell and hold you in rapt attention. This is one of those musical gems that I love to find...one that's got melody and smoothness, yes, but has so much more going for it when you open your ears and mind to its many nuances. From quiet to dynamically dramatic, this disc will get your attention and bring you back for more. From the beautifully pensive "Four Hours With A Friend" to the organic and cinematic complexity of "Path to Freedom" to the dynamically powerful "Up, Up and Away," this new collection of David Boswell guitar work comes highly recommended as an album of music you'll definitely want to have in your library. ~ Scott O'Brien

Album Description

A Different Drum is proud to present this club-music jewel, licensed from Korea. Cosmic Ally presents pounding dance beats with anthem-like synth melodies and beautiful female vocals. Mostly sung in Korean (with occasional touches of English), this release shows that Korea shouldn't be overlooked in the electronic music scene of the Western world. Whether you love epic trance, or you like the energy and intensity of futurepop, or you love vocal synthpop melodies, it's for you!

Customer Reviews:

Just a dream.......2006-07-04

Trance music has become pretty predictable nowadays. There isn't anything that sounds remotely fresh or at least exciting. Thankfully A Different Drum records has been putting out some of the best trance music for the last couple of years. One of those artists is Cosmic Ally, who is from Korea. Cosmic Ally's music is a melodic blend of trance and synthpop. The songs are irresistably catchy and very dance friendly. The music often reminds me of ATB and 4 Strings. The beats share that familiar crisp synthesized beats that is usually heard on most trance albums. The lyrics are all sung in Korean but I like it that way. I think the Korean vocals gives the music a more interesting sound. The songs that really stood out with me were "Just a Dream", "Never", "Dear My Friend", and Nevarakka's mix of "Dear My Friend". The melodies were simply unfortgettable. They just stuck in my head. I will have to say that I wasn't fond of the remix of "Paranoid". I didn't like the melodies and the beats. Otherwise Cosmic Ally's "Twin Sun" is a fantastic trance cd. I found the dance beats and lyrics (even if I don't understand a lick of Korean) very uplifting.

what a gem of a cd to find.......2005-03-06

What a steller album. Cosmic ally is one of those bright fresh trance/synthpop albums that are a delight to listen to from the first track on. There are no boring tracks on this album. The album is almost 74 minutes long and features 10 fabulous dance/trance tracks plus 3 remixes by the likes of nevarakka, cistrans, and sheletershed. Now here is the not too evident surprise. Most of the songs are in Korean. The nature of the music is such that you enjoy the music so much that the lyrics being in Korean isn't an issue. Todd Durrant @ a different drum has another hit album on his roster of greats. (as if there was any doubt). So pick this gem of a cd up and enjoy. If I had to pick a comparison, I would say this is kind of like ATB, or Sash.

Beautiful & Eastern Energy DVD's.......2005-09-19

After purchasing both of these vd's and cd's. I found that I cannot play either of the dvd's. I receive a wrong area message.

I would like to know what area I'm in, and if I will be able to return these dvd's and receive correct ones.

Correction To Previous Review.......2005-08-02

A slight correction to the previous review of this excellent group.

The Twelve Girls Band were not the ones performing at the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics in August 2004. They were in the United States at the time promoting the release of their US album, Eastern Energy. Coincidentally, on the day of the Athens closing ceremony, they were scheduled to play in Atlanta, Georgia -- a previous venue of the Summer Olympics.

The ones who performed in Athens were a group of dancers.

Otherwise, the previous reviewer A. Silverstone is right on all counts with regards the Twelve Girls Band's musical abilities.


Updated Reply To Region Code Issue:

John, as you're in the US, your code is Region 1. It is the same for Canada. Region 2 is for Europe, Japan, South Africa and Middle East. Region 3 Asia (except Japan, Indian sub-continent and Mongolia). Region 4 Australia, New Zealand, Central and South America. Region 5 is for Eastern Europe, Indian sub-continent, Africa and Mongolia. Region 6 is for China. Region 7 has been reserved for future use. Region 8 for international destinations e.g. airplanes and cruise ships etc. Region 0 or ALL is Region Free, meaning all Region 1-6 players can play the disc.

Apparently, this 12 Girls Band DVD is coded Region 6 (as indicated above) which explains why your region coded player cannot play it. Perhaps you could contact Customer Service now regarding exchange or refund.

Alternatively, although not an endorsement, I believe there are certain places and websites which do sell region-free and/or multi region DVD players in the US. These usually are of lesser known brands. And are also available here on Amazon from the looks of it.

Also, it seems that there are ways, if you do a search on the internet, to circumvent the region code issue, by pressing a few buttons here and there in a sequence on the player and/or remote control.

Anyway, only DVDs are region coded. CDs and VCDs are not.

Hope this helps.

Beautiful Music from China.......2005-02-06

12 Girls Band will be familiar to most in the US as the group that was performing Chinese music at the end of the Closing Ceremonies of the Athens Summer Olympics in 2004. The group performs on traditional Chinese instruments, the er-hu, the pipa, the dizi, and the zheng. The members are classically trained musicians who normally perform in traditional Chinese orchestras. Nevertheless, these musicians show their versatility and liveliness through their performance in the 12 Girls Band. Their fresh sounds comes from an updating of traditional Chinese music with a contemporary music sound and rhythm. Not only are they able to thus make Chinese music more accessible (and listenable) to Western ears, they also perform Western music (both symphonic and popular, including the jazz great Paul Desmond's Take Five) through a Chinese music prism. 12 Girls Band is tremendously popular in China, and through exposure, this group should rise in popularity here.

The Gorgeous Boundary Between Jazz and New Age.......2000-01-05

Dave Hoffman's FROM ENERGY TO STILLNESS is a rare recording. It has the playful, whimsical and interesting qualities of jazz. It has the ambiance and sheer beauty of better new age recordings. It is easy to dive into and nearly impossible to forget. Hoffman's experience in the music business is shown but not shown off. His solos and jams are controlled and always add to the compositions, yet never boring. This is one to seek high and low for!

An absolutely beautiful album.......1999-01-15

It's hard imagining someone not being swept away by this CD. Daves shows that he is one of the sweetest soloists in the world. Jazz folks love his adventuresome compositions but the New Age folks love the warm sense romanticism.

This is THE album to listen to when your feet are proped on the table while drinking a great glass of wine!! Ppaulpadam@aol.com
