  Through the Gates of Good: On Christ and Conduct , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min

  This short treatise is unique among the works of James Allen in that it focuses on the message of a single spiritual master. In his writings Allen usually quotes eclectically from the sayings attributed to a wide range of teachers, but here he examines, with disarming thoroughness, the unique message of Jesus Christ. As in all his works, Allen presents the view that reformation, and hence salvation, relates to the behavior of the individual rather than the theology of the masses. As he states in one of his most telling aphorisms: "When Christ is disputed about, Christ is lost." A refreshing, nondenominational examination of the teaching of the most celebrated religious icon in Western history, this audiobook presents a set of interpretations that is both inspiring and challenging: food for thought for believers and nonbelievers alike. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Denis Daly. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mike/001227/bk_mike_001227_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  Home Fires: An Intimate Portrait of One Middle-Class Family in Postwar America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1695min

  Home Fires is the powerful saga of the Gordon family - real people, names unchanged. Spanning nearly five decades, from the end of World War II to the early 1990s, their story has the scope, depth, wealth of incident, and emotional intensity of a great novel, and an abundance of humor, scandal, warmth, and trauma - the recognizable components of family life. This is also a masterful chronicle of the turbulent postwar era, illuminating the interplay between private life and profound cultural changes. Donald Katz begins his account in 1945, when Sam Gordon comes home from the war to his young wife, Eve, and their two-year-old, Susan, eager to move his family into the growing middle class. After a few years in the Bronx, Sam and Eve move to a new Long Island subdivision and have two more children. As the '50s yield to the '60s, the younger Gordons fly out into the culture like shrapnel from an artillery shell, each tracing a unique trajectory: Susan, early into rock 'n' roll and civil rights, Vassar girl, feminist, author of "The Politics of Orgasm", and recovering drug addict; Lorraine, teenage beatnik and leftie, one-time member of a women's rock band, longtime follower of an Indian religious teacher; Sheila, the "good" daughter who married then remarried, with a big suburban house, two kids, and a therapist; and Ricky, the youngest, witness to the family traumas and cause of a few himself, openly gay, eclectically New Age, and a successful songwriter and composer. And all Sam and Eve ever wanted - like millions of others who had experienced the Depression and the war - was a "normal family". Katz tells the Gordons' story - the unraveling of Sam's and Eve's American dream, to the slow, hopeful reknitting of the family - marshaling a vivid cast of supporting characters. Deftly juxtaposing day-to-day family life with landmark public events, Katz creates a rich and revealing portrait of the second half of the 20th century in America. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Barrett, Jonathan Alter - introduction, Ricky Ian Gordon - afterword. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/018773/bk_acx0_018773_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  Nada-Ananda

  Simon Thacker and The Nava Rasa Ensemble is a nine piece virtuoso ensemble innovating on the meeting of Asian and Western cultures. Nada Ananda features the world première recordings of major guitar led works by Shirish Korde, an Indian composer who has forged a compelling and distinctive voice in the West with his native music as a basis, and Nigel Osborne, a great Western composer profoundly influenced by Indian music, for an all star nine piece instrumental ensemble made up of leading performers from both cultures. Acclaimed as 'a mesmerising melding of old and new, Indian and Western' (The Classical Review) and 'a bold and highly successful project that fuses imaginative improvisation and virtuosity within a compelling sequence' (The List), The Nava Rasa Ensemble's Nada-Ananda album release has been acclaimed across the world and features nine musicians of the highest calibre representing three continents: Simon Thacker on guitar, Carnatic (South Indian) violinist Jyotsna Srikanth, Hindustani (North Indian) tabla master Sarvar Sabri, Scotland's leading string quartet the Edinburgh Quartet, Brazilian bass dynamo Mario Caribé and renowned multi-percussionist Iain Sandilands. Shirish's Nada Ananda ['the joy of sound'] concerto for guitar and chamber ensemble, is in three movements. The first movement is in the style of a North Indian Alap and the guitar writing the explores the expressive possibilities and colours of the instrument, combining the ornamentations and figurations of the sitar with the timbre of the classical guitar. The first and the second movement are based on the raga Lalit which, according to Indian music theory, is generally played at daybreak. The third movement, Joy, sees extended cadenzas for the guitar, Indian violin and tabla lead to an explosive climax for the whole ensemble. Nigel's The Birth of Naciketas for guitar concertante is based on an episode in the Upanishads where Naciketa's mother dies in childbirth and his father makes a bargain with Death to save his son's life. The work is based on the ten thaats, or scale patterns, which are considered by many to have been the forerunners of the raags of Indian classical music. The piece's ten sections correspond to the tenthaats in a 24-hour cycle related to the times of day associated with the scale patterns. These ten sections fall into five main movements. The Birth of Naciketas continues Nigel's search for an Indian classical modernism. What the critics said: Classical Music Sentinel 'The musicianship on this recording is quite remarkable. Guitarist Simon Thacker transcends the instrument and persuades it to produce music loaded with subtle nuances and character... A veritable melting pot of styles and influences that have truly merged into one.' The List 'Shirish Korde's Nada-Ananda concerto allows classical guitarist Simon Thacker ...to show just how invigorating music can be when it draws it's sensibilities from a host of styles, releasing it from the inhibitions of genre pigeon-holing.' Music Web International 'I was deeply impressed by this disc - not just by the undeniably high standard of musicianship throughout, but also by the fascinating, accessible and interesting compositions, which demonstrate that successful collaboration between Eastern and Western music is, indeed, possible.' The Classical Review 'What particularly impresses is the sheer cohesion of the playing, with Thacker proving an acutely stylish and sensitive fulcrum for an often mesmerising melding of old and new, Indian and Western.' Classical Music Magazine 'Here's an east-west inversion: gentle spirituality from Nigel Osborne's work for 'guitar concertante', and jazz with real swing in Shirish Korde's concerto, where the virtuosity of Thacker is matched by sizzling sounds from Jyotsna Srikanth's Indian violin and Sarvar Sabri's tabla playing'. The Guardian 'The third movement, in particular, is an exuberant virtuoso display of rhythmic complexity. Nada Ananda means joy of sound, an idea Korde captured in his music.' Hi-arts 'The extraordinary range of cultural influences, musical forms and emotional states in the selected works were beautifully fluid and seamlessly communicated by Thacker and his fellow musicians.' Gendai Guitar Japan 'An ambitious project which has proven very successful because of the musicianship and devotion of Simon Thacker....Just looking at all these musicians on stage with their instruments one experienced a heightened sense of anticipation, which was fulfilled in performance.' The Scotsman 'Take one eclectically minded classical guitarist from East Lothian, grant him charge of an ensemble comprising two Indian virtuosi on violin and tabla drums, one of Scotland's leading string quartets, a Scottish-based Brazilian jazz bassist and a cross-genre percussionist and... The result is music of sinuous beauty.' Musical Pointers 'This is captivating and highly recommended to our readers. Simon Thacker is a fine guitarist who has been devoting himself to exploring meetings of Indian and Western cultures with an outstanding intercultural ensemble.' Inside World Music 'Simon Thacker, is a stunning, Scottish performer of Western, European, and South Asian musical styles.....The mix of classical and Indian music is brilliant, moving, and creative.' Sunday Herald 'Simon Thacker is a musician who has always seen his instrument as international and his classical training as the portal to expressing a whole world of music. His Camerata Ritmata group explores jazz, Spanish and Brazilian influences, among others, and with the Nava Rasa Ensemble - featuring string quartet alongside Indian masters, bass and percussion - he goes right to the heart of Indian music' Songlines Magazine 'The virtuosity of the musicians on display here is not in question, and their ability to play as an ensemble is most impressive.'

  Pure

  Every rare once in a while, we're graciously granted access through the veiled threshold that leads directly to what can only be described as "Love's Secret Domain!" Whether we simply stumbled through this once in a lifetime, mysterious portal by pure chance or were raucously recruited into it's rotationally resplendent realm, "Pure," the current awe inspiring CD just released by SoCal's very own trend setting, mind blowing, perception expanding "Love's Secret Domain," is most certainly is "a trip!" Much like previous, mythic journeys "through the looking glass" and "down the rabbit hole," LSD's "PURE" is an amazing, "audio-sensual" trek that most definitely defies distinct description. This album really delivers, seductively drawing you deeper and deeper into it's mystical meanderings of surrealistic, symbiotic sound strands, simultaneously spinning and spanning the final frontier and recalibrating the connective tissues of our culture's collective consciousness. This 4 song, "Special Limited Edition" CD, with only 1,000 units being released and then it's "Gone Forever," is truly tough to stylistically "pigeon-hole," sounding at times like the very best of everything that you've ever heard in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and well beyond. Recorded digitally and then mastered in analogue on tape, this "Collectors Edition" includes fascinating renditions of popular, publicly acclaimed tunes such as: Like A Supernova, S N' M, Dead End ( hey ... am I sensing a LSD "Title-Trend" here?) and of course, the perennial crowd pleaser, "No Substitute." Those sorry souls who have valiantly tried to clarify and classify the music, have been heard to mutter terminology like "Psychedelic, Post-Punk, Power Pop" and "Eclectically Edgy, Erotic Electronica," ... before going into massive convulsions, passing out and sinking somatically into a coma. Basically, this is a multi-dimensional, textural tapestry of sound, undulating, with "Borg-like" intensity, with a balanced, high impact "hybrid blend" of "oscillating, organics" and "existential electronics" pulsating with passionate, photosynthetic pleasure! Your ears are in for a real "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" as this project, recorded almost exclusively in "Logic" and produced by "Mix Master" Josh Pu'u, craftily throws everything from "Kaoss Pads" and "Ebows," to slide guitars and layered music and vocal tracks that metamorphose and transcend into an audibly addictive, "rhythmic hypnotica!"

  Disappearing Acts

  Chuck Butterworth There are two kinds of people in the world. And Chuck ain't one of them. Chuck's music is not made for the general public. Neither is he, for that matter. First release in 40 years. It's the economy, Genius. Lazy old musician finally hits 10,000-hour mark. Who is Chuck? Real like butter. The best we can tell, Chuck Butterworth is a singer-songwriter-musician who's eclectically charged--with a power source all his own. The wit and grit in Chuck's lyrics let you in on some kind of inside joke and that all-too-familiar heartache. His originals will have you laughing, crying, and wondering. Where's Chuck been? A natural progression from a high tone/low tone past. Chuck has been afflicted with music since he was 14, and he wrote the first of over 400 songs at age 16. He plays guitar, harmonica, keyboards, penny whistle---and he's not even ashamed to pick the banjo. An original member of Birmingham's The Bassmen in high school, Chuck's been playing around ever since. At Auburn University, Chuck and the other Candy Store Prophets headlined for such infamous annual events as the Hayseed Party and The Grain Alcohol Bash. Throughout the 1970's, Chuck played mostly acoustic music with Eddie Robinson in Birmingham and The Part-time Band in Auburn. Just to build his character, Chuck loaded the U-Haul and moved to Nashville in 1987 where he wrote and performed. Yet another savvy career move found him flipping burgers at Brown's Diner. Figuring he'd built enough character to last a while, Chuck returned to Birmingham and happiness in 1993 to be with his childhood friend Mary. They married in 1997. These days Chuck plays lead guitar and sings with Lost in the Ozone, featuring his old pal Eddie Robinson and other great local talents, and plays his originals around town, as well as teaching 20+ students guitar weekly. What Does Chuck play? Folk-lectic at it's finest. A unique and timeless mix of folk, blues, and country. Originally influenced by old-time rock and roll, today Chuck's music also reflects the inspiration of the folk era, Irish ballads, and classic country. Chuck has developed a style that's smooth, rich, and real as, well, butter. Sit back, relax, and let Chuck's cool grooves, hot licks, and fun, one-of-a-kind lyrics transport you to a better place. Your ears will thank you.
