Touch The Earth

About the Artist
Derrik Jordan

"Positive pop and globally conscious soul"

"…Derrik Jordan is something of a one-man musical force of nature" -Vermont Sunday Magazine

Living in southern Vermont and playing throughout the northeast, Derrik Jordan has sung national jingles, worked with many bands and has had his songs recorded by other artists, but what really excites him is writing, recording and performing his original music for people. "Creating music is a sacred trust. That moment of ecstatic communion when performer and audience become one is truly one of life's greatest experiences," says Derrik.

"Touch The Earth" (2002) took over a year to record, with Derrik singing and playing 95% of it himself. Other very special guests include Tom "T-Bone" Wolk (Hall and Oates, Carly Simon, Saturday Night Live Band) on bass and nylon string guitar, Nebulai on didgeridoo and the Mighty Simba Horns. Conceived as a celebration of nature and a call to environmental action, "Touch The Earth" is a collection of 13 songs that share an environmental theme, recorded with full band arrangements in a variety of world music styles (reggae, afro-pop, samba, salsa and funk) and features Derrik's passionate 5-string electric violin playing throughout. His song "Something's Gonna Change" from the CD won top honors as 2002 Reggae Song of the Year from Just Plain Folks, the world's largest songwriter organization.

As a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, environmental activist and teacher Derrik is used to wearing a lot of hats. On "Expecting A Miracle" (1997), co-produced with Tom "T-Bone" Wolk, he worked with a stellar cast of top NYC studio musicians. His song "Something Beautiful," from that album received extensive national airplay at college radio and was included on "The World Will Remember," a CD benefiting the September 11th disaster victims of NYC.In 1992, Derrik made his national debut as a recording artist on "Right As Rain," a CD supporting the Rainforest Action Network that also featured such artists as Jerry Garcia, Paul Winter, Mickey Hart and Beausoleil. Derrik has studied congas with master drummer Milford Graves and has traveled to Brazil, Trinidad and Ghana, West Africa to further develop his craft. He has produced jazz, folk, Native American and award-winning children's independent recordings. He performs with many bands including Tony Vacca's World Rhythms and The Jo Sallins Experience. "SuperString Theory" (2003), his first all instrumental CD, showcases his 5-string electric violin in duets with balafon, kora, didgeridoo, sitar and more.

Beautifully Refreshing.......2000-07-13

Ever been hungry for something, but just didn't know what? These selections, touching upon family and home, fill the ear nicely. The mellow strains of Sharon singing in her native Navajo with the companion guitar, violin and cello instruments make for a fully satisfying experience. This is my first CD of Sharon's material and it most assuredly won't be the last!

A True Work of Art.......2000-02-17

This Album is a must have. Sharon captures the beauty of the Navajo language in a way that is truly unique. Her style is one of a kind heard no where else before. Don't miss out on this one!

This Navajo singer is representative of Native america.......1999-07-14

This young lady can sing and brings emotion to her music that echo her heartfelt desire for connection between her and her heritage. The emotion in these songs is kinetic, and if you want to find peace in song and voice, then Sharon Burch is your singer!! She is wonderful!!

Sharon you're GREET !!!!.......1999-01-25

Love to one of US best singers from Barbr

Some beautiful, moving music; much disappointing........1998-08-30

I was very disappointed by the bulk of the music on this cd. In many respects, it sounded too similar to her earlier works. Some of the selections, however, were moving and beautiful--useful in ceremony and prayer (which is very important to me). Overall, I recommend it for everyone who loves Sharon's work and is a student (or adept) in the Navajo language and culture.

Six Decades of Film Music.......2007-05-13

This is film music for the classical music lover. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra presents excellent arrangements of a number of classic film themes (although several pieces of the 56 film classics selected for this 4 CD set are not orchestral arrangements, but rather specialty arrangements). Besides great film composers such as John Williams, Elmer Bernstein, Ennio Morricone, and James Horner, classical composers such as Richard Strauss and Pietro Mascagni make an appearance. On several of the numbers the Crouch End Festival Chorus adds the human voice to the power of the full symphonic orchestra to create true movie magic. If you like the sound of a full symphony orchestra playing some of the most recognized themes ever written, you'll love these CDs.

Excellent collection with fine performances.......2007-03-28

Silva Screen Records, based in England, has been issuing some fine collections of film scores, more in one box than we have the right to expect. This four-CD box contains scores by many of the best writers, including Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, Dimitri Tomkin, Kenneth J. Alford (The Bridge on the River Kwai), Elmer Bernstein, Maurice Jarre, Ennio Marricone, John Barry, Nino Rota, John Williams, James Horner, and more. We can all think of additional film scores we wished were included, but then there's no way this collection could be all-inclusive. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, supplemented by Crouch End Festival Chorus on some numbers, does a very competent job...The liner notes give the basic information without any commentary, and as far as I can see, contain only one error. Am I wrong or are tracks 9 and 10 on the fourth CD mislabeled? Track 9, which runs 7:33, seems to have the excitement of "Pirates of the Caribbean" (which I did not see) and track 10, which runs 4:22, the more sedate "The Girl with the Pearl Earring (which I also did not see). Listings seem to have them reversed.

"essential film scores from 1939 to 2004 ~ Incredible Music".......2005-05-16

When I think of the "Golden Age" of Hollywood, many composers come to mind...you gave the usher your ticket in the theater and sat down, knowingly you were going to get your moneys worth...when the curtain opened and you heard those first few notes...you sat back, watched and listened as the film score and orchestra worked their magic...now we have the ultimate from Silva Screen Classics "The Incredible Film Music Box", featuring a four disc set of the essential film scores of the past 60 years...covering several decades from 1939 through and up to the present 2004

There are compilations and then there are "Compilations" beginning with a classic that even the youngsters today recognize "GONE WITH THE WIND" (1939) (Max Steiner), sweeping score that captures the tragic history of the South during the Civil War, one great cue after another, it doesn't get any better than this, nominated by the Academy for Best Original Score...and closing on Disc 4 with "THE INCREDIBLES" (2004) (Michael Giacchino), the big hit in computer animation from Walt Disney & Pixar that once again pit Super-Heroes against the forces of evil...our family of five Supers prove crime doesn't pay, but box-office receipts do...gotta love it!

Silva Screen Classics as usual, has put quality into this 4-CD-Set featuring The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus conducted by Kenneth Alwyn, Bill Ashton, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Mario Klemens, Derek Wadsworth, and Nic Raine. Recorded in "Dolby Surround" with the new technology of "HDCD", this is a "film-score-buffs" dream, one to treasure now and years to come.

Some selections are missing, but when you think of what Silva has included, it is impossible to please everyone...was happy to see "TOUCH OF EVIL" (1958) from composer Henry Mancini, as I feel this composer deserves all the recognition that has been overlooked recently in the music world...This collection is aimed directly at the "Serious Film Score" music fans and collectors...Silva is as always, perfect in every way...just the way we like 'em!

Best Comprehensive Survey of Canadian Music Available.......1999-01-19

This anthology of three Centuries(!) of Canadian music was assembled by a former producer from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation who now works for Naxos Canada. This producer is also active in the Canadian music world, so he knows whereof he speaks (or selects, as in this case). Liscensing the best performances available from major Canadian and International labels, this is the best collection of, and introudction to, the entire Canadian music scene that I have ever come across. The booklet is informative and is as enjoyable a read as is the 2 CD set is to listen. I doubt there will ever be anything quite like it again. If only NAXOS would now start recording Canadian music on top of the Canadian artists they already record, than they will truly have one of the finest and most comprehensive classical catalogues in the world. As for now, don't pass this one up.

Lovers of R&B will dig it!.......2006-12-24

This is the album I've been waiting for from Acappella. The guys in this lineup bring back the younger side to Acappella, making it reminiscent of the George/Wayburn days. The beats are fresh, but they're mixed in such a way that you can tell it's vocal percussion. This, I think, is one of the greatest strengths of this album. The incredible skills of Tony Brown bring a raw, street-corner-singer quality to the album. The lyrics are deep and personal.
War with Myself - This song really sets us up for the whole tone of the album. With introspective and thoughtful lyrics and a nice low-key groove, this is one of my favorites on the album.
Dust in the Wind - The classic Kansas tune is reborn here, but the original isn't lost in this A Capella style favorite. Another soulful hit.
Dime Rhyme Segue - Break out your beat-box on this one. Makes you think.
One Ragged Angel - Continuing the theme of the "homeless angel" from the previous track, this song makes me think about how to see God working in all things, and how there's always an opportunity to glorify him. Great beat, great lyrics, great melody.
They Are the Roses - a hauntingly beautiful song, "They Are the Roses" is a touching reminder of the responsibility we've been given to raise up our children in a godly way. It really puts things into perspective.
Emergency - This song has an awesome, original beat with a slightly Salsa flavor. Another reminder of why God has placed us on earth.
You Are There - My personal favorite on this album, and, for me, ranks right up next to the quintessential "Rescue." Absolutely incredible vocals on this one, especially the second verse.
Glory and Honor - this song is a reminder of what we're doing all of this for - a hopeful look at what God has in store for us. I can't wait! The tight harmonies here highlight the skills of the group.
Y.R.A.G Radio Segue - This is just plain fun. This must have been the result of letting Gary Evans play with the recording equipment (and is the lowest bass part on the planet.)
Gone Away - Another hopeful song with a great beat. Of all the songs on the album, this one sounds the most like Keith Lancaster and the older style of Acappella. You'll find yourself running to the slip cover to get all the lyrical parts, since the vocals kind of bounce off one another. Technically masterful with a great message.
Take Me There - "I've got my bags packed and I'm ready to take flight." Every time I hear this one I can't help but smile. Strong vocals on this one, smooth beat, and encouraging message.
Give Me Jesus - This song is a wonderful closer, and really brings you into the room with the singers. There are some incredible harmonies going on in this straight A Capella piece that I'm still trying to figure out. By the way, those aren't violins in the background, either! Great use of volume and tone.

I almost feel like a traitor to the previous Acappella releases, but this is my favorite album of theirs. Above "Rescue", "Set Me Free," and "Spirituals," it is a must-have in my collection.

Homesick.......2004-03-06

Perfect

I found this CD in chicago, where this brit now lives, and the tunes and themes are such a retrieval cue for sunday afternoons watching these old stiff upper lip black and white movies on tv. Just what I needed, although the addition of 4 weddings is slightly odd. Good quality recordings...:-)

Very nice compilation with focus on "healing touch".......2005-10-26

This CD is another in the "body-spirit-wellness series" that New Earth Records has published. It is a compilation of works by some of their well known artists, and is a very good overview of some of their better works.

The idea of this CD is to provide background music for those who work in the field of "healing with the application of touch." The focus would be masseuses, Reiki practitioners, and in offices of therapists of all kinds where delicate, soft music would be beneficial. The music is generally light, airy, having basic melodies that can be focused on and followed. The choice of the Artists as well as representative works that are soft yet strong is expertly accomplished with this compilation. The total time for these nine tracks is 66:42.

Deuter has three offerings on this CD. Silent Wave is a piano piece, very soft, contemplative and is the first track on this CD, setting the pace for those that follow. Olive Grove, track seven, is flute and Indian instruments with an electronica fill, creating a lovely soundscape that is suggestive of Eastern music but orchestrated enough to be very familiar to Western ears. Again, the flow is soft, melodious, and relaxing. Deuter also closes the CD with the final (ninth) trackIsland in the Sun. This piece continues in the same vein as the previous works, soft, very melodious, with the suggestion of "Bali Bells" that give this an "Eastern Islands" feel. Again, very airy, very soft, and in keeping with the balance of the material on the CD.

Anugama provides this CD with two tracks. The second track Call of the Search is bamboo flute with electronic fill. This bamboo flute piece is suggestive of contemplative moments and gives a feel of soulfulness. It is very controlled so it remains in harmony with the other works on the CD. The fourth track, The Empty Sky is also provided by Anugama. This piece is different from the other work as it is lighter and airy, almost spacey at times, with tinkling bells and electronica suggestive of voices and an orchestra. Again, a delightful offering from Anugama.

Al Gromer Khan also has two tracks on this CD. Track three How Can We Be Sure is soft and mellow, with light Indian Sitar and keyboard in a mellow jazz beat. Very expertly rendered and very subtle in it's feel. The sixth track Utopia Al Kahira has a more defined Eastern beat, but not jarring, with soft sitar and electronica fill suggesting voices and keyboard. Another expertly controlled work that keeps to the softness yet adds to the strength of the CD.

Aum by Terry Oldfield, is the fifth track and this work has a very Eastern feel, with flute and sitar. It is one of the stronger pieces on this CD. There is electronic fill and bells, giving this piece a bit more presence and makes us take notice of it. But it remains melodious and relaxing, in keeping with the other works.

James Asher presents us with track eight Cedar Tree and this piece is much more Native American in feel. This is a flute piece with background fill that is non-descript enough to allow you to focus on the expert flute work. This piece is another contemplative, soulful work that calls to us but does not intrude. A very lovely offering from Mr. Asher.

The mood set by the collection is achieved with the expert choices of representative works of these Artists. The entire CD lends itself to being a background for those who work in the healing arts, relaxing your clients and offering both the practitioner and the client focus during the working process. I also found this to be good background music while I am working. Non-intrusive, yet calming and relaxing when I am focusing on what I am doing.

This CD is a good choice for those working in the healing arts, or someone who is looking for soft, contemplative music for background in their busy lives. A good addition to anyone's New Age library. mafoster

Relaxation for all ages.......2005-09-25

I have done massage and healing work for 28 years, and have over 80 CDs I use in my work. This album is one of the all-time best for relaxing people. Usually different clients require different kinds of music. This is the rare album that everyone enjoys and relaxes to. Most clients sink into a very deep meditative state when listening to it. If you work in the healing arts, I cannot recommend this highly enough!

Album Description

Touch The Earth is a collection of unreleased tracks from former Strawbs members, recorded in the early '80s but unreleased until now! Dave Lambert (guitar) and Chas Cronk (bass) played with Strawbs throughout most of the '70s when the band was touring to promote their hit albums Grave New World, Bursting At The Seams, Hero And Heroine and Ghosts. When Strawbs ceased touring in 1980, the two musicians decided to form Lambert Cronk, alongside latter-day Strawbs members Andy Richards and Tony Fernandez. However, as fate would have it, Trevor Horn invited Andy Richards to become the keyboard sound of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Chas Cronk was invited to join the Steve Hackett Band where he met Nick Magnus, and Tony Fernandez went on a world tour with Rick Wakeman. In the end, an album's worth of Lambert Cronk material was recorded but, as Punk had become the raging flavor of the day, it remained on the shelf. Witchwood. 2007.

Excellent background music for the Reiki Practitioner.......2005-04-14

This is a collaboration by German born guitarist Anuvida and German composer and keyboardist Nik Tyndall. On this CD Anuvida plays the Kiboe, a harplike instrument Anuvida devised and some "electronic devices", Nik Tyndall works the synthesizers and added environmental sounds.

This CD contains five tracks for a total play time of 52:05 minutes. The focus of this CD is to provide background accompaniment to the healing art of Reiki.

The two artists combine their talents to provide gentle, floating soundscapes that allows the client to relax and focus on the attentions of the Reiki practitioner as the healing modality is applied. The kiboe provides the placid melodies while the keyboard provides soothing backfill. The titles "Entering the Mystery", "Gently Floating" and "Blissful Arrival" are suggestive of the feeling the artists successfully convey with this work. There are elements of water and other "environmental sounds" which adds to the soothing nature of this music. Each piece smoothly melds into the next, never lifting the feeling of the music from the listener.

This is a excellent example of the work of these two artists who have collaborated many times together. The CD works very well with the Reiki healing modality and I highly recommend it.

Great for meditation, yoga or just setting a relaxing mood.......2003-05-30

I practice Reiki and my cousin got me this CD for a present. I thought that it was going to be hokey or something, but I love it. I use it nearly everytime I practice yoga and sometimes my boyfriend just pops it in to relax to.

Relaxation.......2001-07-16

I listened to Touch of Love at a Reiki session I took for relational puposes and the music made me so happy and it put my body in such a relaxed state. I felt like a child again. Love this CD and recommend it.

Healing Music.......2000-11-21

The beautiful, fluid sounds of the kiboe instrument bring Reiki healing music to a new level. The combination of mellow Oriental overtones and occasional backdrop of running water is very soothing. The gentle, calming quality of this CD makes it ideal to use during Reiki treatments.
