Stellamara - the Golden Thread Samara Lubelski - Parallel Suns. I've discovered her this year and I am MADLY in love with her. Balligomingo - Under an Endless Sky The Dry Spells - Too Soon For Flowers (promising new act, has been compared to Fleetwood Mac) The Mary Dream - Beautiful World. Lovely band to talk to, also. :) Jo Gabriel - the Amber Sessions LoveSpirals - Long Way From Home. This one is a staple with me, I never get sick of it. Liquid State - Late Bloom (Has Jennifer Wilde on lead vocals, she sang a LoveSpiralsDownwards track) Silent Violet - Sounds of a Dirty City Sharon Lewis - the Hour Lillies Lise Olden - Waiting for the Full Moon Honeybreath - Overcoat Petracovich - Crepusculo (Her best work yet, IMO) Lenka - self-titled the Blueflowers - Watercolor Ghost Town. The previous band was Ether Aura The Woodlands - the Woodlands. Amazing debut. Just magical. I'll stop there now. Onto the obscure... Mothburner - Embrocations for Losses Past. I am still devastated they won't make any more music, but they just couldn't afford it... Roseland - Roseland. Azam Ali is pretty well-known, but this project isn't. Seems ot be a bit hard to find? Story Of M - These Little Crimes Louisa John-Krol & Saaroth - asphodel. Louisa is pretty well-known, but some of her collaberations are a bit hard to find, like this one. Titania - self-titled. Formerly known as The Sensualists, Titania are Michael Turner (instrumentation) and Mandy Cousins (voice). 91 tales. One of Joanna Stevens (Sleepthief, Delerium, Conjure One, Solar Twins) earliest projects. Good luck on finding it, though... Enjoy the music! ~Angie ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Sep 2009 14:47:17 -0700 (PDT) From: Neb Rodgers Subject: =?utf-8?B?RndkOiBBbm5pZSBIYXNsYW0gYW5kIFJlbmFpc3NhbmNlIC0gNDB0a CBBbm5p?= =?utf-8?B?dmVyc2FyeSBDb25jZXJ0c+KAjw==?= I don't guess Annie Haslam is exactly Ecto, but she does have one of the most beautiful voices in all of rock music. - -Neb - ---Forwarded Message--- Annie Haslam and Renaissance - 40th Anniversary Concertsb From: WhtDoveOrg@a...com Sent: Sat 8/29/09 5:24 PM Dear Friends I am very excited to let you know that Michael Dunford and I are taking Renaissance back on the road.

She started singing before she could walk, and now - many years later - she is still better at singing than walking. Eivxr has released 5 albums with her own music, all of them with different great artists from around the world. Eivxr has toured most parts of the world. Solo as well as with great bands like Yggdrasil and Clickhaze. Since 2004 she has mostly played solo or with the Canadian folksinger and legend Bill Bourne (2004-2005). The last two years Eivxr has played different venues as well as published a CD with the prestigious Danish Radio Big Band. In 2006 she started working with acknowledged Irish producer Donald Lunny, with whom she co-produced her latest album, "Human Child". Eivxr has won different awards in Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Denmark. In 2006 she was nominated in 6 categories at The Danish Music Award for folk music, of which she won two awards - "Best female singer" and "Best folk album". She also won the Icelandic "Best theatrical music" award for the music she wrote for Icelandic theater show "Zlfhamssaga" in 2005. Eivxr is often compared to the Faroese landscape. Her voice leads you from the shores, up the mountains and back again. She can sing like a gentle summer breeze and within a split-second her voice can turn into the most powerful thunderstorm. She sings with passion and emotion and every time she sings it's as if it was her first time. enjoy! - -- "Art Is The Lie That Shows Us The Truth" Pablo Picasso http://lv.raad.tartu.ee:10105/view/index.shtml http://lv.raad.tartu.ee:10201/view/index.shtml http://myspace.com/moondingo http://myspace.com/broomgirl http://radioparadise.com ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V14 #246 ***************************
