Jerry Crocker - Feather In The Wind (2000)

Yes, it's finally here! Feather In The Wind, a 2000 release with an incredible performance by Jerry Crocker. This album is absolutely beautiful and must be heard to be believed. Flutes and synthesizer are perfect together.

From the press release:
Feather in the Wind is a collection of soothing Native American flute compositions to quiet your mind and invoke images. Close your eyes and drift away to Southwestern canyons and high mesas where eagles soar in the cloudless skies. Transcend time to perceive an echo of distant drums—forgotten dreams of peaceful times when the people lived in harmony with nature. A master of various wooden and clay flutes, Jerry Crocker also weaves goat-skin drums, synthesizer, effects and nature sounds into his dreamy music.

I am in love with this album, and you will be as well! I have about 4 more releases to post here within the next couple of weeks when they arrive in the mail! I finally got a cassette player/digitizer.

Various - Interludes: Meditation (199X)

Hey, friends! I am back with a couple goodies to bring you over the next week. I found an Interludes CD that I never even knew existed before I found it while scrounging eBay over the weekend. This is called Meditation Interludes, which features various artists (mostly orchestras) covering music from classical composers such as Bizet, Beethoven, and Bach. This is one of the rare Interludes releases that doesn't feature Steven Gruskin. No nature sounds, just straight-up classical. The musicians do a darn good job at it - nothing spectacular, but if classical is for you, this non-electronic album is right up your alley!

Robin Miller - Magical Spheres (1987)

This is not a VOTS release, but it is an album from Robin Miller, a talented musician who has released tapes on the label. This time, it's Magical Spheres from 1987.

Dick Sutphen and Upper Astral - Ascent Of The Eagle (1988)

Hello, friends! Happy belated New Year. We still exist, and for further proof, besides the fact that I'm writing this, is a newly unearthed tape from 1988. Another joind release between Dick Sutphen and Upper Astral, which of course was made up of David Naegele, David Storrs (and later, Robert Slap). This tape features the Robert Slap incarnation, with Ascention To The All That Is playing in the background while Dick talks.

David Storrs - Aerobic Music Exercise (1983)

Hello again! Here's a second release I have for you today. This one's extremely rare - I've known about it for years and didn't think I'd ever see it, but here  it is! David Storrs' 1983 release Aerobic Music Exercise. This one's a bit of high paced synth music and an ambient "Cool down" track. It's great, and I highly suggest listening.

Robert Slap - Heartbeat and OHM (1990)

Hello! I'm back after a long absence, I'm sorry. I've been busy with my own music I've been making and finishing up school. However, I've returned to post up a very rare release, Robert Slap's 1990 release Heartbeat and Ohm, put out on New World Cassettes. It's nothing much, to be honest, just a synthesized heartbeat put over his Eternal Om record.
