Distant Land

Distant Light is the 1971 released album by The Hollies. All tracks composed by Tony Hicks and Kenny Lynch; except where indicated. The Hollies are an English pop band from Manchester formed in the early 1960s. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style (which influenced many other groups) they became one of the leading British bands of the era, and they enjoyed considerable popularity in many other countries (including Australia) although they did not achieve major US chart success until the early 1970s. Like The Rolling Stones and Steeleye Span, they are also notable as one of the few British pop bands of the Sixties that has never officially broken up and which continues to record and perform to the present.

Let’s embark on a voyage into the world of “Ambient Land” once again, a cherished source of comfort, healing and optimism. Initiated and designed by Lemongrass mastermind Roland Voss back in 2007, as an emotional, cinematic EP series of deep introspective soundscapes, “Ambient Land” invites to relax, retreat and free the mind. Taking off with swelling chords embedded in universal bleeps and shimmers, the opener “Civilization” is a meditative reflection about our today’s world. With “Ryu1” and “Dreaming” we see light glimpses of hope and peace on the horizon. Otherworldly yet organic in theme, images of distant Japanese places conjure up, while listening to “Fujiyama” and “Koi”…

Composer and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Farish describes his music as "positive chillout," though his fusion of dance, electronica, and chill-out has earned him a following that spans the boundaries of genre.
"Land of the Sky" is Ryan Farish's 19th studio album, released on Farish's own Rytone Entertainment label.

Features the latest remastering. Includes a Japanese description and lyrics. Frank Minion's one and only recording is a fascinating window into the world of a jazz performer. Quite cynical and sarcastic toward the jaundiced American view of the jazz life, Minion minces no words in stating his case, his reasons why, and his conclusions as to the home country of the music so thoroughly dismissing the music he loves. As this project was done back in the late '50s and early '60s, it reflects a syndrome that unfortunately still exists 50 years later. The CD reissue begins with a five-part suite based on the talking points and songs reflecting the vagaries and perceptions of a fictional big city neighborhood, which just as easily could be the reality of renaissance Harlem, references to Atlanta, or perhaps his native Baltimore.

Beyond the Horizon (2005). Beyond the Horizon there is a mystical world, where one's imagination is the only limit…, is how the visual concept for the leading title is explained by its composer. Patrick has been inspired by his brother, a well respected Spiritual Healer and Reiki Master, and brings tracks to invoke memories or suggestions of warm tropical beaches (Sunrise in Paradise), discoveries of awe and wonder (Secret Temple), or safe and womb-like states of being (Sanctuary and Revelation), to ensure the listener 'travels' along with the mood and tone of the album. Enjoy this fusion of keyboard, guitar (classical/bass/electric), synthesizer and samples, drums and loops, from a passionate artist, composing beyond the music and in tune with the spiritual life…
