Mirror of the Voice - Boris Kovac
- 18.99
Unpublished works by Boris Kovač, what the artist calls The Three Stages of a Creative Journey. He says 'In my creative development I distinguish three essential stages, those of House, Way and Being. On the one hand, these stages correspond to certain periods in life and thus position themselves into life`s linear temporal flow, right from the firs up to the third; but on the other hand, these stages are in many a respect simultaneous, they initiate and illuminate one another, so that it is only their interrelationship that makes dramatical structure of that creative "journey" possible. Every stage possesses its own integrity, but only when related to the other ones, actually, to the whole.'

- 18.99
Powerful acapella group vocals, often using the wild beating-against-drone technique of groktenje, diple playing, goat-calling and church-bell ringing from a group of amazingly resilient Serbian singers who've moved back to their village of Žegar in the rocky hill-country of Dalmatia in Croatia – a region war-shattered in the 1990s and still depopulated, but beautiful and now peaceful - to rebuild their homes and pick up the threads of their lives and rich musical traditions. The album's title, and the group's name, means Žegar Lives.Recorded in Žegar in May 2007, produced by Andrew Cronshaw in collaboration with Svetlana Spajić.

Outer Circles - Victoria Jordanova
- 16.99
An astonishing talent, more than just a harp player. Her music is haunting and heartbreaking. The tones are surreal, eerie, barely discernable as a known instrument at times. The main piece, 'Outer Circles' is a about the 9/11 tragedy. Dark, brooding, yet with a strange and shimmering beauty illuminating hope underneath it all. The second work mixes things like church bells with harp and electronics. These ancient-modern instruments meet to create depth and warmth. A unique, earthy yet other-worldly experience.
