Hey Friends~ Happy Halloween!got forwarded to this listing..UNIQUE, AUTHENTIC YET CURRENT WORLD ARTISTS/BANDS are wanted by a very established and respected World Music Label with 150+ Compilation CD releases and worldwide distribution. Artists/styles ranging from Celtic to French, Carribean to African, Mediterannean to Eastern European, etc. will be considered. It's recommended that a blend of Contemporary and Traditional approaches be presented, for a unique and relevant sound. Beyond all, a clear identity that is consistent from song to song will be crucial. Excellent performances and recordings that compliment the songs/voice/region will get the most recognition. We'll need to be extremely selective, so please send in your very best songs!

thanks allot guys! 'perciate it!i thought i would post about the listing comments and song notes~geoffrey,(ACK!^^ GeoffREY? sounds like mom)hello. thanks for sending in the music. the tracks blend a unique world sound with measured electronica layers resulting in an intriguing canvas of sound. led by a solid sounding vocal, the results are high impact shaped by an artist concept offering an inventive view of how global music can sound. great job. i like the way you use a full range in the vocal lines to create interesting melody via progressive intervals. the tracks feel dynamic with a sense of depth- easy to hear the working layers of moving parts. its always a pleasure to hear new aspects of an artist's music every time the track repeats. i'm struck by the sensation of hearing new things in the music having heard each track a couple of times. keep writing and good luck!Raqs Sharqiinteresting blend of world sounds with an electronica vibe... the vocal sounds good... the melody floats over the subtle harmony nicely... the guitar sounds good... Under the Willow Treenice intro... ambient background sounds good... cello adds a nice color complimenting the vocal... intense vibe... Boracay (dream pop mix)cool intro... nice sounds... the segue to the verses is natural... the drums sound good... interesting contemporary world blend... reminiscent of the way peter gabriel shapes the underscore... nice job...

Geoff,Your music sounds great!! This stuff is oozing VIBE, which is, IMO, a crucial component to sticking out from the crowd. You have a voice and I predict it will be heard.Congrats!! Keep up the great work!!Mazz
