My Blog

For health reasons (physical and financial), this profile is inactive in May 2008. No more parts will be bought in any new artists for the time being. I have almost 1500 parts in artists with a Sellaband album, in recording artists and artists on their way to the 50K, but without any return or sales or even a hint that there might be some sales around the corner, I have other charities that I am supporting. De facto I have co-sponsored SAB, which was never my intention and is certainly not SAB's view and have helped artists realise their dream, ending up to be disappointed by some of them and feeling pity and sorrow for most of them, for putting their talent and creativity in albums that aren't being promoted properly and thus will not get the attention that these artists and their albums do deserve.

Brilliant, inventive, original and timeless compositions that feel like a warm coat in winter wrapped around you. A unique band from Antwerp who, with their CD "The Asylum" showed the world that some bands still make really good music. Watch and listen, this is a "must have' :-)

Don't forget to visit my first spotlighted artist: Lady Haidee!
Please also have a listen to all the other great artists that I support!

Lucia Iman Lucia Iman 15.04.07 40

Wonderfully balanced songs, emitting a harmony that gives you a feeling of complete contentment. A well-tempered voice and amazing compositions: Lucia Iman is redefining lounge music!

Nearfield™ ® '06 artist' Nearfield™ ® '06 artist' 27.02.07 39

Original compositions, wonderfully entertaining melodies and lyrics. It's impossible to define the Nears in one word or restrict them to one genre. Their creativity extends to their ability to find the right marketing approach. They recently produced a CD "Black Board" in a beautifully designed paper case, thanking all their believers by name, and sending the CDs to each one of them. While listening to all the 12 tracks in one sitting, it makes you realise what a wonderful Duo-band this is and what huge internatio nal potential they have! It's the major labels that should be hitting themselves for not having discovered bands like Nearfield.

N'KENGE...Getting Ready for My Romanian Trip N'KENGE...Getting Ready for My Romanian Trip 28.08.07 25
TRAVELLERS TRAVELLERS 25.02.07 20
Great concept, amazing interpretation and arrangements of the world's musical heritage. Listening to the songs they transported me on a virtual trip across the globe. I found myself in a Soukh, waiting for some Mint tea a few minutes ago (now I got to find the real thing soon ;-). The music is not distracting me from my work, it helps me to concentrate. It's pure and honest lounge music, without being overpowering.
I believe in Travellers' musical journeys, I'm joining him and hope that you'll be travelling with us soon as well!
In peace and light

Lady Haidee is much more than the Kate Bush of musical storytelling. Her CD in the making is a Grimmean Fairytale, a story of dark and light merging, a rock opera of the world we're seeing when we aren't looking, the melodies find us. Brilliantly executed, little lyrical gems: a vampirate world brought to you by Lady Haidee!
Bim Bim 17.05.07 15
Wonderful compositions, great voice, evoking an atmosphere I'd love to find myself in. Dreamscapes without getting spaced-out.

Lorraine Jones Lorraine Jones 14.06.07 10
Believing in Lorraine because she's got determination, talent and she has approached the right composer Pieps to work with. 
SUNSOMA SUNSOMA 17.05.07 10
Surprising arrangements, great rhythm and vocals, professional and dedicated. I love the contemporary sound, there's no noise, all notes make sense. I'm imagining a SUNSOMA CD on my iPod, ready to move along with me. Could well be a question who's keeping up with whom.
Kane Sole Kane Sole 22.03.07 10

If Paul Simon would've been dead, I would've been easily convinced of Kane being his reincarnation. Although that's a bit too easy. Kane Sole's songs aren't copies, they're original. They are pure, honest, with unique melodies, convincing lyrics and an amazing voice! I really want a Kane Sole CD so I can listen to more songs again and again.

In peace and light

JayDoubleYou is always right, another unique artist has joined SAB. Utterly compelling voice, strong melodies, totally convincing. Would love to read her motivation behind joining SAB and what her plans are when (not if) she reaches the 50$K.

MAGNUS MAGNUS 21.02.07 5
A great voice and loads of compassion. He's more Live8 than any of the established artists. Magnus deserves the CD, because this CD will be a strong message to the world and to each individual soul who inhabits Planet Earth: "We care, One People, One Planet, we're all ONE"! Buy as many parts as you can, you don't have to do it all at one time. Save on one of the non-essential things that I know we all buy each week ;-)! Save $10 a week, bi-weekly, monthly, it doesn't matter. Then immediately buy parts in Magnus. So he moves into the charts. I've been spending so much money each year to charity, but I'm often disappointed in the results. Music is the universal language that people understand, even when they can't read. Go For It! Let Magnus be your voice in a world where we're all hard of hearing.

Jenae Johnson Jenae Johnson 22.03.07 3

Canadians know how to upgrade Country by adding spice, rhythm and by deleting some of the traditional Country music rules. Like Shania Twain did around the turn of the century, Janae Johnson captures the sound of our times and makes it her own. I'm hooked, her songs are addictive! And this is remarkable because I'm so not a country music girl ;-)

Celine Wadier Celine Wadier 22.03.07 3
Wonderful voice, mesmerizing, stunning compositions. Celinn's vision for the CD is great too. I've reduced my parts in Celinn for now, because there has been no or limited activity on SAB. I'll increase my parts again once the activity increases.

One of the hidden gems on SAB that should've surfaced much earlier than now. A beautiful, authentic voice, classy arrangements of imaginative compositions and melodies. What else does an artist need to make it to the 50K? Probably only the ability to promote oneself and regular activity. If all these qualities are in place, Sophie Head will make it to the top sooner rather than later.
:: blister :: :: blister :: 17.05.07 1
Phantom Of The Sea" is a brilliant song! Blister is a collective of wonderful people who are sharing a passion for music. The vocals are amazing as well. I'm not normally a rock fan but Blister's songs aren't about deafening noise (although it took me a while to catch on to this :-) )

Symeon Cosburn Symeon Cosburn 27.04.07 1
What a voice, how could I've missed him first? Probably because his main artistic hunting ground was Jazz. Now he's moved to a more "now" sound, funky with groove. Stellar compositions. Nothing that will hold him back from reaching the 50$K within reasonable time.
Autour de Sophie, CD out now Autour de Sophie, CD out now 24.04.07 1

As Sophie has virtually promised that the CD will be less jazzy, as well as that they're highly talented musicians and because she and the band seem to be amazing individuals, I'll turned into a believer, despite the fact that when I first listened to their songs, I didn't know if I'd like it much. As with other artists, however, sometimes it takes more time to really listen to the layers in the composition. They're growing on me and Sophie has the right spirit and attitude for the SAB concept!

Kristianna Kristianna 24.04.07 1

A Portuguese singer without a sign of fado in her songs, resulting in wonderfully melodic upbeat compositions. Christiana is a fantastic  talent with an international appeal.

Marnie Mains Marnie Mains 24.04.07 1

Wonderfully imaginative and wicked songs that fit most of my moods. Which her attitude, creativity and amazing vocals she'll be a preferred supplier of hit songs to the global music community.

Julia Marcell Julia Marcell 02.07.07 155

An extraordinary talent from Poland. Elegant, unique compositions, an incredible sense for style with a beautiful voice to match. She is clearly orchestrating her own musical destiny and is a visionary personality. Julia Marcell will be a global sensation in her own right! I've been playing her EP "Storm" on repeat since it arrived last Saturday and can't get enough. It's been produced beautifully and with tremendous skill and vision. Julia Marcell shouldn't be on Sellaband, she should have been picked up by a major label earlier. Just goes to show that major record labels have lost contact with their customers.

Mysti Mayhem Mysti Mayhem 27.04.07 90

Mysti Mayhem is a unique artist: composer, brilliant vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer. Plus the girl has humor that will help her survive in the music business.

She's not a Bette Midler copy, no, Ms Mayhem is an Original, but with similar qualities in humour, observation and saying things like it is in the most deliciously refined manner. The Devine Mayhem should fill Broadway theaters 365 days a year, if not, the taste of the people in the US of A needs to have a war declared to it: the war against bad taste, or better: the war against not appreciating Mysti's mayhem. 

SolidTube/ How do you like our cover art? ;) SolidTube/ How do you like our cover art? ;) 27.04.07 60
Solidtube creates music with soul and passion. This band should be Vienna's next main export product ... move over Sachertorte, your reign is over ;-)
Ellie Williams Ellie Williams 03.02.08 55
There are many women with very good voices, especially it seems in the UK, so it is increasingly hard for the exceptional voice to rise above the vocal power crowd. Ellie Williams has done this using her magnificent voice with beautiful, emotional and warm compositions and lyrics that are meant to touch a part of your soul and often ignite instant recognition. The simplicity is not just found in Ellie's vocals, but more in the overall energy that each song emanates. A full band would not add anything aside clutter and for a first album, Els seems to be destined for accoustic (trio possibly) compositions. In an age where music seems to serve to deafen our auditive and other senses, Ellie stands out and her audience will have no other choice than to be quiet and allow themselves to be carried away by Ellie's songs. Such a breathe of fresh air!

ConFused5 ConFused5 10.06.07 50
This is what for me embodies what rock should be about. Creativity, great melodies, passionate delivery and lyrics that one can remember. The instruments aren't deafening the hell out of one's ears, so what you hear is what you are going to enjoy. Salzburg is definitely back as a musical world center.
Angie Arsenault Angie Arsenault 27.04.07 35
Vegas Dragons - "LOVINGLY CRUEL" Vegas Dragons - "LOVINGLY CRUEL" 22.03.07 35

Normally you wouldn't catch me listening to rock music, but for Vegas Dragons I've made a rare exception: this isn't the overpowering rock where it's hard to distinguish between sound and instruments, the Vegas Dragons' sound is unique. There's melody, there are many unexpected twists and turns that you want to keep listening.


So What So What 28.08.07 17
T-ka T-ka 10.06.07 15
A bit of jazz, a bit of pop, a bit of french and a heap of T-Ka. She's creative, artistic and utterly herself. A CD that will matter!
Francis Rodino Francis Rodino 25.02.07 15
Just listen to "Burn" and you know that FR will not stop until he's got a full house @ Wembley!

I must admit that I only bought a part in order to keep my SAB Limited Edition collection intact. BPM doesn't create the music that I love to listen to, but that's a very personal taste and their global fanbase is proof enough of many people loving the BPM songs.

Their best kept secret is out: the Canadian government has finally admitted that BTO never quit but continued as twelve34. Already for bringing back one of my favourite bands in the 70s, I've put them my wish list.

May 08 2008 22:54 CET M. Harris - COME GET 3CDs FOR 2 PARTS!!!!

oK, I wanted to wait till my solo CD UNORTHODOX was available on CD Baby before I did this, but Ima start now.....



There are 2 CDs on CDbaby right now that have my production credits all over them - Urban Groovz Compliation Volume 1 (all 13 tracks produced by me from 2003) and 8/29: The Movement by the N.O. Wordsmyths (11 out of 18 tracks produced by me, plus a verse in the song Still Waitin)



Now, in case you may wonder about the second title, it is based upon our Post-Katrina process, and it just so happens that the first CD is Pre-Katrina but didnt get released to internet till I got back home Post-Katrina.



Ok here's the deal. I have copies of both of these CDs, plus a 3rd CD with 18 more tracks from the N.O. Wordsmyths (WSNO 99.4 Mixtape) that I will personally mail to you for 2 PARTS! Dont want me to have your address? I can easily send you the rapidshare link being put together even as I type this for you to download all 3 CDs!



I dont have a limited time on this at all, cause I like to get good music to the people while I go on my SAB journey.



In case you were wondering about my production and the N.O. Wordsmyths, on my song Soul Searchin on my page, that is S-PYnage doing the 3rd verse. Even further, click on the link below to hear the first single from 8/29: The Movement, called Bayou Queen. (I Produced the Track by the way!)



http://www.q93. com/cc-common/ artist_submissio n/player. html?art= 144137



Feel Free to talk to me about the Cds, the song in the link above, whatever!!!



Remember 3CDs for 2 Parts!!!!
