The friendly folks at Real Music have a lot of exciting news in store for us this fall! First I will draw your attention to their brand new catalogue, which you can download as a zipped PDF-file (filesize 27 MB). Here you can browse their nice selection of current albums. They have an excellent selection of meditation and relaxation titles.

There are two titles that are just out:

Mike Howe is back with the album Round River. Here is a presentation of this album:

Round River takes its name from Aldo Leopold’s metaphor for ecology of the mythical river that was not linear but circular, forever flowing around and back into itself.  Welsh national park ecologist Mike Howe is inspired by the never-ending circle of Nature to compose beautiful, heartfelt guitar melodies helping to foster a world in which the things that grow are love, spirituality, creativity, community, sustainable living and the healing of the Earth.

And then it is Buedi Siebert that is taking us on a trip to the Great Pyramid!

Within the resonant chambers of the Great Pyramid lies the ancient wisdom that guided its mysterious creation. Masterful musician Buedi Siebert experienced a profound trance state within the King’s Chamber and playing an extensive range of instruments, captured the immense power of the pyramid’s sacred voice on this recording made within it. An exquisite hour of listening and, if you’re receptive, access to the inner sanctum of a global treasure.

Do yourself a favor and check out these fine titles.

British born Mike Howe is a park ranger by day and a new age music guitarist by night. So far his guitar has been heard on two albums, Journey to Wellness and Contentment, in the Sacred Spa Music Series. On July 21st his debut album will be released on the Real Music Label.

The label give this description of the album:

Like a child’s favorite toy or a warm summer’s stroll, unadorned, gentle guitar songs bring a comfort that nurtures the soul. Inspired by the nature of the Welsh national park where Mike Howe lives and works as an ecologist. His gorgeous first album offers fifteen original compositions that will be a welcome pause in any day… a respite when time truly stands still.

And more:

Mike Howe has come to music creativity relatively late in life. With no formal musical training and no background in the industry, this sudden outpouring of musical compositions has come as bit of a surprise.

The cover looks like this:

We all sometimes need a time out, a place where time stands still. So yes, this debut album is more than welcome!
