Heart of the Circle
by Brian Carter; New Earth Music; 2003; 1-800/771-0987

Ever been to a stone circle? I have. Not in the flesh, but the experience was none the less real. Actually, Heart of the Circle took me to several circles. The energy carried by this music is enormous.
Carter says each section of the CD was "given" to him by the spirits of the places. "This album will take you on a wonderful journey to experience some sacred Stone Circles close to where I live," he tells us. "Although these Circles are thousands of years old they are still very much alive with energy. I visited each circle to feel their very essence and each one gave me a wonderful and unique insight as to its purpose. It was like touching 'The Heart of the Circle' and I hope by listening to this music I can share these experiences with you."
Some tunes he heard in their entirety, like "The Lady of Glassel." Others gave him very personal messages. Born in Yorkshire , England , Carter was much inspired by the Beatles. "I have been lucky to have touched people's hearts with my music," he says. "It outweighs any monetary gain." Chiwah

Future Memories
Didjeridoo Healing Music
by Amoraea Dreamseed; 2003; amoraeaflame@earthlink.net www.harmonicconvergance 2012.com; $15.00. 831/345-243
Enter a Harmonic Temple as you embark on this epic journey of sound. The powerful vibrations of the didjeridoo provide the carrier wave for your soul to journey into mystical states and access future memories of your perfect self.
According to Amoraea, this CD is designed as a healing template to restructure your spiritual and cellular body. It is infused with ancient electronic codes to awaken your soul's original blueprint. It was created as a background soundscape for Amoraea's healing ceremonies; also, it provides a sacred presence for your own meditation.
The intention, tones and in spiration are centered around the sacred knowledge being returned to us through the Azurite Temple Melchizedek Cloister Emerald Order. The interwoven songs are designed as sound codes. Embedded within some of the songs are sacred tones spoken in the original Anuhazian Christos language. The Azurite Temple 's main purpose of planetary stewardship is to help prepare and assist in the coming earth changes between now and 2012.
David Chapman plays flutes and drums on tracks five and eight and kalimba on four, Ilona Selke weaves her magic with flute on tracks eight and eleven and harp on track nine. Skywalker plays tabla, shakerae tambourine, sitar and Tai skin drum.
Amoraea weaves all of the above together with synthesizer, crystal singing bowls and nature sounds, inducing deep harmonic attunement. I have used this CD background music in my own workshops and during attunements as an adjunct to getting in touch with our soul purpose. I find it not only effective in helping to produce transcendent states but extraordinarily beautiful.
