B3+ Uncommon Sense Selling points This is brass to the power of three, and a lot more. John Clark, Dave Taylor, and Franz Hackl create a whole cosmos of sounds, styles, and techniques. On this album the trio reveals its sense of humor, and a moment later becomes absorbed in hymnic devotion. Big band gestures are divided by three; free jazz resounds with the spirit of Bach and Bartók; and folk music from the Welsh hills and Tyrolean mountaintops merges with rhythms and chord sequences.

Selling Points • Spiritual teacher and author Ram Dass (a.k.a. Richard Alpert) and Timothy Leary are cultural icons for their early days of pioneering experimentation with the mind-expanding powers of psychedelics like LSD. • On this disc, messages from Ram Dass’ talks have been sampled, mixed, and blended with chilled back electronica by down-under DJ and performer Kriece. For the most part, the music dominates without diminishing the power of Ram Dass’ messages. Without being overly preachy, Ram Dass’ expressive words add interest to the music while Kriece’s deftly selected grooves bring new life to some timeless Ram Dass truths.

Featured Artists Ram Dass: spoken word Kriece: electronics, production Track Listing • Mystic Poetry • Thoughts • Mantra • Stuck • Breath Inside the Breath • Dream Dance • The Game • Spacesuit for Earth • Desire • Additya Hridayam Media & Marketing Massive press tie-ins via the celebrity of Ram Dass with NPR, radio promotion via SPECTRE, Starstreams, and radioio.com.

As Ram Dass says, “This music represents a full circle for me. In the Sixties when Tim Leary and I began exploring inner space with psychedelics, the music was always a groove that we could follow, a route to take us higher. Music was at the forefront of the expansion of consciousness and the counter culture. There was a group consciousness that evolved in some of the performances of the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix and others, that was transcendent and brought a sense of unity and a feeling of deep love and joy.

“Later, when I made it to India, I was introduced to other music and sounds that vibrate with the cosmos, using that kind of music to get high. The music itself is the high and you just become it, like a surfer becomes one with the wave.

Enhanced CD contains a 10-minute video excerpt of The Last Dance—the final conversation between Ram Dass and the late LSD guru Timothy Leary!

“This collaboration, produced by Australian DJ and mixmaster Kriece, makes this blend of music and spirituality available to a new generation.

Kriece has brought together the influences of world music, chanting, electronics and spoken word. I am honored he has used words I spoke, though it is only us talking to ourselves. This is the mixdown of mantra and electronica merging into One Love. As my guru in India, Neem Karoli Baba said to me, ‘Enjoy it all!’”

NEW RELEASES Selling Points • This recording was made during Flamenco por el Mundo, a show created by Luisde la Carrasca featuring artists from the Gypsy, Spanish, and Andalusian communities.

• The show is firmly anchored in the present while drawing inspiration from tradition. Forcefully and with moving sincerity, the artists express joy and sorrow through song and poetry. We find ourselves reveling in the warmth and passion at the heart of flamenco.

• Flamenco music has become more diverse in recent years while still respecting tradition and traditional themes—love and passion, life and death. Luis de la Carrasca also takes inspiration from contemporary social issues.

• His latest show presents songs, sung poetry, flamenco music, and dancing alongside elements from other cultures with the aim of breaking down frontiers and bringing all men and women together in a spirit of solidarity.

• Born in Andalusia, Luis de la Carrasca has lived in Avignon for the past seventeen years. His company, Flamenco Vivo, mixes artists of Spanish, Andalusian, and Gypsy origin with musicians from across the globe.
