MUSIC  REVIEWS

If you want a laugh, watch the youtube above with your sound up and Judy Garland and the Wizard of Oz will never be the same again.

---------------------------------------

 

Thanks to Andrew who sent this link to SHAYAN ITALIA who I had never heard of before and shall now MOST CERTAINLY buy his CD.  He has a wonderful voice and I found this song really touching and came just at the right time to send to someone special to tell them how I felt.  Sometimes words are not heard - while in song - words can reach the heart with a meaning that touches deeply.

Hi John,  Thank you so much for that link - Brian and I have both listened to it and the words are so beautiful and true, Once again, thank you with all my heart,  Terrry

Dear John - Thanks for that wonderful link to Shayan Italia. His voice and words spoke to me at a time when my heart was open and full of emotions ad it helped me touch on something deep inside.  It truly moved me. I shall buy his CD and listen to it a lot. Thanks. Simon. 

 

 

 

STREISAND FANS - SCROLL DOWN

now I know you are out there as this is - after all - a gay mens site and - well - most gay men just cream themselves with either Barbra, Cher, Judy, and some older souls... Ethel, and to learn of new and exciting voices that stir the emotions, is always a bonus

( do you thing - that at 65 years of age, she might - just might - have had this photo 'touched up' a bit...)

I had a psychotic episode today. Bought the Babs CD and put it on,  cursing the price, it went up by £4 overnight at HMV and  I didn't   bother to buy it, thinking, oh, I'll wait for the DVD. First day I  saw it I looked at the track listing yawned blah di blah. Second day   in a more forgiving mood I thought oh well the bitch can rob me a wee bit more.

Then i put it on. And that voice. It is much lower now, it is the  voice of an old lady....but what a voice. The magic is different but  magic it still is. It's more vulnerable and very very moving.

And then I bought the newspaper. She's added a date in Manchester.

And then I rang up and spent an obscene amount of money on two seats. 
It is on July 10th.

And then i thought who in the world would i most like to take.

And the answer is you.

So can you be my guest the night of Tues Jul 10 in Manchester?.

Dinna fret if you have to be in Hamilton. I doubt i would have   trouble finding a lil cutie to take!!!!

But the gift is here and it comes with much love and warm friendship.  It is a kind of thankyou for u and HH rescuing me in my darkest hour   and for all that you do at HH which inspires so many folk. And   because Babs (the greedy robbin bitch) has been such a big part of   our lives.

Richard

DOLPHIN ASCENSION

by Stephen Page

da

Dolphin Ascension reflects the plight of mankind and the intrinsic connection we have with dolphins, as we journey towards Ascension of the planet.

At last mankind has realized that the hope of bettering ourselves, we need to learn and be guided by dolphins who have traveled the galaxies in their unselfish attempt to help enrich our lives and prepare us and our planet, for the Ascension.

So says the cover of this CD, and whatever you wish to believe, the music played here is ideal for meditation, healings or even just in the background as pleasant - gentle music to sooth and de-stress after a long day.



SPIRITUAL OASIS

 Stephen Page

sp

This is his second CD on this theme and is as beautiful and relaxing as ever.
I often play this music in the car as it calms me down  as driving can be quite stressful and I really notice how my mood changes to one of peaceful calm

 

 

 

 

'Inspirational Journeys'

THE GUIDED MEDITATION SERIES
Volume 1 -
By Stephen Page


This CD is the first in what will become a series of Guided Meditation CD's that have been planned to be released over the next few months.
Volume 1 features WATER MEDITATION and  EARTH MEDITATION.
Each lasts for about 30 minutes with the original meditation written by John Bel
Inspirational journeys CDlamy and the stunning background music has been  composed by  Stephen Page.

Personally, I love music that - kinda - washes over you and ebbs and flows throughout your conscious and unconscious mind allowing for a peaceful place to be found through the music, and that's exactly what I find with this. When Stephen asked if I would like to write the meditations, I was flattered, and when I heard the music, I was INDEED flattered, as it's beautiful. I play it all the time when meditating and especially when I go to bed at night, as it helps my 'ever busy mind' to relax - chill out and let go of the multitude of thoughts whirling around inside my head.
I think you'll love it as well

'HEART LAND'

   heartland

by Tim Wheater
AMSD-80003 ALMO

Out of nowhere, a few years ago, I was sent a cassette tape as a promotion for this album, and not having ever been sent one before, I was fascinated. I put it on and wasn't sure what to expect.
I knew Tim's father many years ago when we shared a home together in Guernsey, and I remember meeting Tim a few times and hearing all about his studies with the flute and his father was very proud. When this tape came, I was gob smacked, as there was a 25 year gap in there and it seems that Tim Wheater has made quite a name for himself and is very famous, and listening to this album I can completely see why.

It's stunning
It has everything, which could come over as just being 'too much', but Tim's masterful approach to building sound and vibration to heights that thrill and tingle, are breathtaking. I remember buying the album ( as I loved the demo tape so much) and sitting in the garden with the french doors open while this wave of music surrounded me as I sat in the sunshine, and it was one of those moments I will never forget.
Beautiful voices - wondrous harmonies - globally pieces together with a style that is easy but must have taken the ear and the soul of a true master to pull of.

Highly recommended

PIA

BENEDICTION MOON
NEW WORLD MUSIC

pia

Once in a while a voice of such quality and beauty rises up that it transcends all musical styles and cultures. Pia has such a voice. Her gentle, echoing vocals and the enigmatic arrangements create a warm, heavenly sound.
It is a gorgeous collection of heartfelt songs.
If you like Enya or Clannard you will adore
Pia's
BENEDICTION MOON

I have enjoyed Enya and Clannard for years and heard Pia while shopping in Glastonbury a couple of years ago, and this was playing in the shop, and I knew I had to buy it.
The tenderness of the vocals and the musical backing sounds to me like angels singing,
and it really is lovely.

She has several albums available and personally, this is by far my favorite.

 

STREISAND FANS - LISTEN UP !!!

If you like Barbra Streisands voice, then you will probably LOVE

 

LINDA EDER

   

   By Myself: The Songs of Judy Garland

She has numerous CD's available and you might have to do a search on Amazon as she is not well known in the UK.  I first heard her about 15 years ago and recently discovered she has quite a few CD's to choose from and although I have played and played the two I already had, I immediately ordered 6 others I had no idea about after doing a search on Amazon one rainy afternoon, and I was THRILLED.

STUNNING - ANY ALBUM IS GREAT

and

Lara Fabian

       

 

Lara Fabian sings from the heart and just tugs at the heart strings and tempts you with her range and versatility.  A STUNNING voice.

 

 

 

WELL OF COURSE.... what did you think...

Of course I have to have a few of Barbra's here...

STREISAND

This is the voice that has been with me for over 35 years - always catching the moment for me,  helping me through the good and the not so good times and I feel she is a part of my musical life's journey.

Nothing camp about me then !!!

Barbra Streisand - Yentl 

  Barbra Streisand - Somewhere

 

Barbra is the most awarded person in show business history.

Bet you didn't know that !
