LOTS OF GREAT NEW STUFF!! Brian Eno, Anouska Shankar, Romanian Soul, and so much more.
For today's adventure, we get to hear LOTS of new stuff! Upcoming release from Brian Eno -- moving back to his atmospheric roots. New release from Anoushka Shankar and friends -- very moving, expansive. Some Romanian Soul music. And a good ol' gear-grinding theme wander too.
Put your seats in the upright position, and lock your tray tables!
And, please hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd love to hear from you!!

Listen for the themes around current global turmoil, refugee crises in so many places, and empowerment of women. Very poignant, and timely. You can see the liner notes here -- definitely worth a read (use the zoom in control): https://issuu.com/highresaudio/docs/land_of_gold-542576 |
