| CD: Best of Pagan Song by Various At last, there truly is a "greatest hits" album of the past 30 years of Pagan music! Here are the songs that have shaped the current resurgence of Pagan spirituality. Exclusive re-mastered tracks include the long-lost original Burning Times recording and several other rare musical gems from Gwydion Pendderwen, Catherine Madsen, and Velvet Hammer. The songs have been culled from literally hundreds of albums produced by Pagans since the 1970s, and feature popular musicians Gypsy, Todd Alan, Wendy Rule, Emerald Rose, Avalon Rising, and many more. They tell our history, and also chart the evolution of our thought and belief. What makes these songs Pagan? They may be about the ancient nature religions of the European continent, they may deal with themes such as life after death, being Pagan in a Christian world, or encountering figures from the Spirit realms. With extensive liner notes detailing the importance of each track and the artist who created it, this inspiring collection is a must-have for any Pagan music fan. track list # Burning Times--Charlie Murphy # The Heretic Heart--Catherine Madsen # We Won`t Wait Any Longer--Gwydion Pendderwen # Every Woman Born--Ruth Barrett # The Question Song--Pasha and the Pagans # Lord of the Dance--Todd Alan # Magick--Gypsy # Fairy Queen--Kenny Klein # Angel of Bells--Gaia`s Voice # Spirits--Susan Falkenrath # We Do Not Die--Velvet Hammer # Deity--Wendy Rule # Dark Moon Circle--Avalon Rising # Rime of the Ancient Matriarch--Holly Tannen # The Christians and the Pagans--Dar Williams # Penny in the Well--Emerald Rose $17 |

| CD: Christmas Rhythms of the Holy Land by Desert Wind An extraordinarily innovative & creative endeavor which Desert Wind thinks of as their gift to the world community. If you are tired of hearing the same old Christmas tunes, & want something more, something new, enlivening, powerful & elusive, this CD delivers! It is a refreshing change from the ordinary holiday music. Familiar Christmas songs are merged with luscious ancient rhythms from the Middle East. The exotic rhythms infuse the standards with new energy, making this the premiere holiday album to add to your collection. Yet, the album is distinct in that it does not overwhelm the listener as being entirely "Christmas music." While most of the tracks are Christmas songs, there are a few festive pieces youll want to hear and dance to year round. While mostly instrumental, a few of the songs include soulful vocals delivered with insurmountable passion & drive. Amazing Grace is one of these, & is bound to be a year round favorite. As usual, the instrumentals are a percussive blend of rhythmical spice & powerful, sultry, passionate zeal. Adding to the albums immense grace and proportion is the final song which is added almost as a closing prayer, Tikkun Olam (Healing the World.) Overall, this CD is one holiday album that anyone (even those who dont care for Christmas music) can enjoy. 15 tracks. $18 |
