I don't make "concept CDs" per se.....all of my music is part of an over-arching concept, with each song adding a piece to a vast metaphysical puzzle. The lyrics are similar to channeled messages, with certain references recurring regularly throughout the repertoire such as the process of echoing, the process of unfolding, vanilla energy, cinnamon energy, ginger energy, the "Major Event", a volcano, journeys across the ocean, and an island refuge called The Haven. The songs are all in a linear format, with a minimum of repetition and an emphasis upon message and development. When many are complaining about the uninspired sterility of today's music, it's hoped that -- at least on this site -- you'll find music that is organic, vital, inspired, purposeful, adventurous. Single songs from previously released CDs may be found through subscriber services such as iTunes, MusicMatch, Rhapsody, Mp3tunes, Napster, and eMusic. NOTE: If you have Quicktime, simply clicking the links will launch the song. Or you can right-click on the links below and choose "Save Target As". NEW 09/23/2008: "Illumination" is a ginger-energy "enchantment" that represents the next step in our musical guided evolution. Here are the instructions for using this track: You listen to the first part to see how it's done....the intro piano is basically a buffer zone to give you time to prepare.After the second go-round begins, after the piano intro, you sing what you really desire in your heart, but you must do this with conviction. It doesn't matter how well you can sing -- it's the effort and tuning yourself into the frequency that counts. The reason why you sing is that in this way you are making the connection between yourself and the Source.You can call this a musical Love potion......I have already put it to the test, and without going into too many details, let's just say that it is very, very effective. In fact, the Ginger energy power of this thing is so strong that it actually melted down one of my console power supplies during the recording. To check this track out, all you have to do is click here. NEW 06/04/2008: "Cinnamon Midnight", one of the primary tracks from the upcoming CINNAMON WORLD VIEW collection, takes the Shaman into the realms of Cinnamon energy. Harnessing the power of this physical force offers great creative potential for the individual; for a couple, the benefits are immeasurable. To check this track out, all you have to do is click here.  12/17/2007: What are we here for? "Finding Paradise", the title track from the now hard-to-find digital CD, answers that question.....and yes, it really is that simple! You can listen to the song now by clicking here. 05/22/2006: ARCHIPELAGOS is now available at cdbaby, finally. You can check it out now by clicking here.    1/7/04: THE VANILLA/CINNAMON LOVE PARADIGM: Here is part of the key to understanding the music, the lyrics, and the metaphysics: Love Energy, about which I have written a great deal, may be manifested at a variety of wave-lengths, each wave-length having a particular power. One of the most potent energies is what I call the Cinnamon Love energy, the pre-coital energy that encompasses desire, longing, the passion to possess. A number of my songs embody this energy: "You Walk In Magic" and "I'm On My Way (To You)", which are low-key; "The Tropic Of Everywhere", which is pretty strong; and "Eros", which is just about off the Richter scale, being a virtual invocation of the Love God. Read Freud to get some better insights into the Eros force; even D. H. Lawrence believed that this force was equitable to a religious ecstasy, and he outlines this in his novels. The purest Love Energy is what I call the Vanilla Love energy -- that is, either the innocent, dreamy Love, or the post-coital morning-after kind of calm, reflective, adoration-level Love. Songs that embody this energy are "Purified", "New Vanilla Love", "The Lovers". The whole point here is that Love Energy must be re-incorporated into our religion, being a force that has a physical, even spiritual impact upon others, upon the environment. a> The Vanilla World View: Second Edition (242 pages) will soon be available here as a free download; the correlation between the book and the music will be clearer when one has had a chance to view both. And a hearty welcome to our visitors from Malaysia, where Kevin Lee and eloka.com e-publishing are beginning to spread the word from that beautiful country. Back by popular demand, the original 87-page first edition of The Vanilla World View is available free for download. Just click here. UPDATE 11/07/03: To see what The Cinnamon Love Dialogues will offer in abundance, check out the complete first dialogue, "The Dialogue Of Romance", by clicking here. The Vanilla World View is a plain-spoken, practical, personal-energy-conscious metaphysics that gives you the power to dramatically improve the quality of your life. And with the world currently teetering on the brink of global war and economic collapse, there is a need to completely revamp what we believe in and what we do in order to guarantee that there will be a world worth fighting for in the near future.... Among other things, the Vanilla World View believes that: 1. You can use your personal energy to ward off disease or drive it out once you have become ill. Combining usage of this energy with the proper diet and vitamins can result in what I call Practical Immortality (see below, and the "Healing" chapter). 2. Our public-school system is a failure and must be completely re-designed....from the ground up (the "School Days" chapter). 3. Energy -- rightly used and commanded -- can alter your mood, alter the moods of others, even alter the outcome of future events (the "Chance" chapter). 4. The Soul is a terrible thing to waste...it must be developed and correctly energized...in order to survive after death (the "Life After Death" chapter). 5. The Seventh Deadly Sin is Routine, repetition. A routine-dominated life deadens the soul, weakens the spirit. Look at prayers, for example: if you are merely repeating words in your prayers, do you think you are really communicating with anyone or anything? When you pray, COMMUNICATE....straight from the heart. You must manifest the energy behind the prayer, or no direct-connect takes place. 6. Evil is a real, potent form of negative energy that can manifest itself in terrifying ways, and can in high enough concentrations even take on carnal form (the "Evil" chapter). 7. History can be thought of as a seemingly never-ending conflict between the forces of Good and the Forces of Evil, or -- simply put -- conflicting waves/forms of energy. 8. Energy, like the weather, can move across the face of our Earth, much like cold and warm fronts, and can be a factor in how you feel on a given day, or on what happens on the streets of your city (the "Weather" chapter). 9. Competition may well be the bane of the human race, the origin of most of our conflicts, and must be modified or eradicated if we want the human race to survive (the "Competition" chapter). 10. Following one or two simple rules will ensure that your child grows up the way children are supposed to grow up (the "Children" chapter). 11. The energy of Love, both sexual and platonic, must be integrated with one's religion, as these energies are potent forces that can, if properly guided, develop one's soul, lengthen one's life, develop one's afterlife12. We are born with a physical DNA, but we are also born with a spiritual DNA, and this DNA in a sense guides what we call our Fate or Destiny, though it is not a rigid control. The lines of Destiny for all living beings form a complex labyrinth; at certain moments we have momentous decisions to make....if we make the wrong decision, we "take a wrong turn" in this labyrinth and find ourselves leading what we often refer to as a "dead-end existence". 13. One of the pitfalls of religion, and one which we should all be urged to avoid, is what is called the "God Quandary": 1. You believe in God. 2. You believe that God is omnipotent, all-powerful 3. Because God is all-powerful, you depend on God for protection 4. Leaning on faith, you become passive 5. Being passive, your Will and Personal Energy are weak, ineffective. 6. With a weak Will and Personal Energy, you are prey to outside forces. Instead of more protection, your belief has resulted in your having less protection. 7. After a few personal crises, and after even more suffering, you stop believing in God. The above does not imply that one should not believe in God, or that faith is without value. But if you're going to have faith, you should at least make it an active, strong faith. There's so much more to the Vanilla World View covering Love, Marriage, Enlightenment, the Supernatural, and World Events, but space limits what I can put here. Questions or comments?
