Phillips" ] Lisa Gerrard - Gladiator/Oceania ["Cerquone, Suzanne" Subject: Where to buy HR older CD Advice, please? I would like to get hold of an extra copy of "Building the Colossus" for a friend. Should I order directly from Samson? I thought someone posted that they take *forever* to ship. Or should I try some other place online and pay way too much? Thanks for any and all information in advance! fleur ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2000 07:23:35 -0700 From: "Cerquone, Suzanne" Subject: Lisa Gerrard - Gladiator/Oceania Paul Kim wrote: >>Lisa Gerrard worked with Hans Zimmer on the score for the upcoming Ridley Scott movie Gladiator.

It's a world music project featuring the absolutely beautiful vocals of Hinewehi Mohi of New Zealand Maori heritage. All songs are co-written by her and Jaz Coleman, originally from Killing Joke but also known for his arrangements and production of Symphonic Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and the upcoming "Doors Concerto" on our label too. - --Suzanne ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2000 17:19:49 EDT From: MPressinfo@aol.com Subject: RACHAEL SAGE / OXYGEN NETWORK... PRESS RELEASE: APRIL 21, 2000 * * * * * * * * * RACHAEL SAGE NAMED SEMI-FINALIST IN "ROXYGEN ON OXYGEN" SEARCH* NEW YORK, NY -- OXYGEN NETWORK's music department has just chosen local performer RACHAEL SAGE as one of 20 semi-finalists in the "Roxygen on Oxygen" musical artist search. As a semi-finalist, Rachael will soon have her winning track, "Sistersong", posted on Oxygen's website: www.oxygen.com/roxygen. In addition, the site will post the bio and photo of each semi-finalist, as well as a link to their own websites, by May 1st. As the Roxygen Music Search continues, a panel of celebrity judges to include Luscious Jackson, Moby, Oxygen on-air talent, V2 Record Executives and other members of the music industry will choose 2 finalists from the 20 semifinalists, to be announced in early July. Ultimately, the two finalists will perform head-to-head live on National TV on "Trackers", Oxygen's show for young women. The Grand Prize winner will be chosen by the Trackers live and online audience viewers from home. Rachael wrote her winning track "Sistersong" about punk-folk singer Ani DiFranco, in response to what Rachael imagined "must have been pretty intense pressure on her...when somebody finally decided that she was 'mainstream' enough to appear on the cover of SPIN", after nearly a decade of fierce prolificness and industry independence. Sage, who also runs her own label, MPress Records, was honored when DiFranco invited her to open several tour dates for her in 1998. Since then, Rachael has appeared on The Lilith Fair Tour ('98), was named a finalist in the 1999 John Lennon Songwriting Contest, has continued to tour in support of her latest album "Smashing The Serene", and is currently in the process of completing her third CD. In addition, she will be performing live with her full-band at ARLENE GROCERY on APRIL 28, 8PM (NYC).* The "Roxygen on Oxygen" artist search is an exciting opportunity for independent female musicians to have their music heard by a nationwide audience, and to continue to expose emerging female talent to the online community. Congratulations to all the semi-finalists, and stay tuned for more details! * * * For more information, go to: www.oxygen.com/roxygen AND: www.rachaelsage.com * * * Press Contact: Debby Hambrick/2:30 Publicity - MPressinfo@aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2000 17:45:55 -0400 From: Philip David Morgan Subject: Re: Lisa Gerrard - Gladiator/Oceania From some recently forwarded news: > "Lisa Gerrard worked with Hans Zimmer on the score for the upcoming Ridley > Scott movie _Gladiator_.

(One is quite enough, after all.) Then again, will Adult-Contemporary audiences be ready for Lisa Gerrard? The world waits.... Philip David (careful with that "crossover" line, Eugene) 4/22/2000 np: _Shadow behind the Iron Sun_ - Evelyn Glennie w/Michael Brauer (RCA Red Seal, only recently released) - so far, it sounds like it's for the audiences who "got" _Drumming_ and _Light in Darkness_ (I did). later: _Reflected in Brass_ - Evelyn Glennie w/Black Dyke Band - --- http://dianewolkstein.com/ http://members.dencity.com/SakuraNation/ - --- "What is patriotism but the love of the good things we ate in childhood?" - -- Lin Yutang. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V6 #113 **************************
