After just coming back from France and buying the Images cd there, I can
tell you that $20 ain't too bad.  In France, one typically pays $20-25

The opening piano piece is the same (after the added on guitar intro)
The part where the instruments were introduced was *very* similar though it
had a few extra bars thrown in.

Personally, I thought the whole Edinburgh thing was a big yawn and fell asleep.
It was *far* too close to the original and *sigh* no Viv Stanshall.

In response to recent discussion: "Suzanne Ciani (pronounced CHAH-nee)"

Demand for Ciani's talents grew so dramatically that Suzanne now occupies an
elite tier in the ad world. Today, she is the owner of Ciani/Musica, Inc.,
regarded as one of the nation's leading commercial music production
companies. "You name a product," she says, "and I'll bet I've done music for
it. I've done all the cars, food, cosmetics, appliances, major corporate
IDs... a lot of commercials. I've never kept a count, but the total is in the
multiple hundreds."

Ciani's compositions and sound designs have served as the aural backdrop for
everything from Merrill Lynch ads to arcade games to feature films (including
the orchestral score for Lilly Tomlin's "The Incredible Shrinking Woman" and
the theme for "Mother Teresa,'' which won the 1987 Moscow Film Festival Peace
Prize). Neverland, in fact, features a moving new arrangement of "Mother's

The British Airways commercial music is the same as that on Yanni's
latest album. It is loosely based on a French composer's aria 
according to the liner notes. Its the only really good song in an
otherwise too syrupy sweet collection of songs. I think he needs to
spend a little time away from Linda Evans (though I can't say I
blame him ! :->).

Ciani has been doing music for commercials long before she released any
albums. Keyboard magazine had an interview with her quite a few years
before she had released an album. At that time she was working with large
modular synth systems. She discusses doing the 'fizz' sound for a coke
commercial !

It was one of the songs off of Vangelis's Opera Sauvage that was
taken and played by an orchestra for the Gallo wine commercial.
I saw the CD the other day in a record store with a big sticker 
"Contains the music from the famous wine commercial" !

John Tesh has been writing music for years ... long before his current
job at Entertainment Tonight.  His most recent album was released at
least a week before the Barcelona Games began (I picked it up almost
the day it came out).  My opinion is that the album is short, a little
too mellow for Tesh, but is still a great effort.  My favorite by far
is "Barcelona" off that album.  I still consider his album Garden City
his best work.  You can hear tracks like "Black Hole" from that
album almost everytime you watch a televised football game.
Tesh seems to have a monopoly on athletic-music on television.

I could believe the more difficult pronunciation.  Spanish classifies
"i" and "u," if memory serves, as "weak" vowels, so that, when unaccented,
next to the other (strong) vowels, they don't cause an additional syllable,
and perhaps Italian is like Spanish in that regard.  (OTOH, unlike Spanish,
one can't just look at an Italian word and necessarily tell where the
accent goes, so who knows?)  Time to ask an Italian speaker, or Ms. Ciani
herself, I guess.

   Apparently (according to our local "new-age/jazz" radio station
here in Salt Lake City (KBZN)), there are two pronunciations of
"Ciani".  The first is easier for most of us, the "C" becomes "Ch",
like in cello, so we get "Che' ane'" (long e) (my phonics are really
rough nowadays).  The more difficult pronunciation is more like
"Cha' ne" (a is ah, long e)

I want to give a big thumbs-up to Paul Speer's new recording "Collection
991:  Music + Art" which I picked up today.  I heard a few cuts during
the Musical Starstreams show a few weeks back.  The songs I heard during
that show were more of a lightweight variety, and the CD sounds a lot
more jazzy than those featured on the show.  It's an ensemble project,
with lots of drums, bass, synths, and Speer on guitar of course.  There
are some nice touches of harmonica, trumpet, and voice mixed in.  There
isn't much of the ethereal space music here.

Seven songs with a total time of 46:16.  On Miramar.  If you like
Speer's compositions on the Lanz and Speer collaborations (I have both
of them) I think you'll like this one, assuming you like the jazz/new
age crossover genre like I do.

Hi,
  On National Public Radio's Weekend Edition on Sunday Sept. 6, they had  
this piece on an all-women percussion group called Mob of Angels.  They  
talked with its founder, something Redmon (sp?), about the frame drum, and  
various drumming styles.

   Anyways, I found the excerpts of their stuff very interesting, very  
relaxing.  Their music is all percussion, but it's not like, oh, hard-core  
rock-n-roll drumming.  Rather, it's a very mellow, rhythmic musical style.   
Who says you need melody, harmony, and counterpoint to make music! :-)  I  
was wondering if anyone out there knows if Mob of Angels has any  
recordings on the market, or if there are other musicians whose works are  
similar to this percussion-intensive style.

			Thanks,

Actually I don't know what the hell it's doing in the New Age bin, other
than she's on "Private Music" which has a lot of other stuff in the New
Age bin that shouldn't be.
The two releases "House of Sleeping Beauties" and "Secret Luminescence".
Both contain extended pieces that sound to my ears like Chinese classical
music with a very progressive feel, sort of in the same vein as maybe
Kitaro's earliest stuff... well, I hate to make a comparison like that
because I find Hwong's stuff infinitely more interesting than Kitaro's.
The first "House of Sleeping Beauties" was created around the synthesizer,
played by Hwong herself with supporting musicians. On the second album
"Secret Luminescence", she assumes the role of composer first and only
makes minor contributions to the playing, and as such the music is more
full and less electronic/synthesizer dominated, sounding more in the vein
of an eastern-influenced Gandalf. IMHO the second album shines much
brighter than the first, there is more feeling and depth, and I'm sure
the more varied intrumentation has a lot to do with that. Check out the
tracks "Lunar Seas", "Body Current" and "Generic Actress" and you'll know
what I'm talking about.

My only question is where is she now ? It's been like five years since the
second album came out... I know great things take time, but...

Yanni is with a doubt the king athletic-music on television.  One of the
best uses of newage music on an athletic program was the use of the opening
of David Arkenstones "In the Wake of the Wind" at the begining of the
Ironman Triathalon in Hawaii.  The scene showed runners early in the morning
as the ran along the beach.  There's just something about a lot of newage
music that leads one to visualize athletic activity.  I, for one, would
love to ski a long run while listening so a couple of Yanni tunes.
