Nine Horses brings together David Sylvian, his brother Steve Jansen (also ex-Japan), and the innovative composer Burnt Friedman. "Wonderful World" is the first single release to be taken from the acclaimed Nine Horses album "Snow Borne Sorrow". It features a previously unreleased composition, ‘When Monday Comes Around’, along with a radio edit of "Wonderful World". Presented in a digipak featuring the beautifully minimal artwork of US artist Wes Mills, designed by Chris Bigg, this release continues samadhisound’s commitment to creating beautifully packaged, stunning music.

Beneath The Veil (1997). Zingaia was coined by combining the word Zingari, a tribe of Greek gypsies, and the name of Gaia, the great mother Earth, which tells you a great deal about this music. One could call it goddess music because each seductively swaying song with its whispery singing and spoken word vocals evokes images of ancient goddesses. While recognizably a pawn of Enigma or Deep Forest and using stylistic elements of world music and ambient trance, this album has a distinctively original sound that is electronically modern and ancient tribal percussive at the same time.

Magic Moments 1 (2000). With the 1996 release of "A Little Magic In A Noisy World", the first of its anthology series, ACT began to document its repertory concept of a permanent exchange between jazz and other forms of music. The release of "Magic Moments" in January 2000 is the forth installment of this "music without borders". This time the CD combines over 40 ACTs on 18 titles.
Some of the musicians on this anthology speak the American - born language of jazz with the accent of their own mother tongue. Others add new words to the language, or expand the grammatical rules. Yet others speak in their native language, but owing to their long time away from their homeland, scatter scraps of American "slang" over their musical landscape…

Bombay Dub Orchestra are not from Bombay, nor are they really a dub act, either, or even an actual orchestra, but the name has been used for the electro-Indian, ambient, chill-out soundscapes and melodies created by British composers and producers Garry Hughes and Andrew T. Mackay, along with mixing engineer Damon Sood. Built around electro beats and Indian instruments, then layered with sweetly flowing string orchestration, the team produces well-crafted and arranged chill-out melodies that feel like they've wandered in from the classical score of a Bollywood movie, only by way of Jamaica; a sort of sunny version of late-night zone-out-and-float-downstream music…
