Raphael (no last name) was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and raised by Benedictine nuns. Under their tutelage and encouragement, he grew a love for music, first learning about classical music and Gregorian chant. As a young man, after playing gypsy violin on the streets and utilising his talents in rock bands and drumming, Raphael came to study the piano formally at the San Francisco Conservatory. He later spent a decade at Esalen, the renowned northern-coast Californian spiritual community. It was during his time there that he began to blend his various influences, draw from multiple cultures for compositional inspiration, and forge his signature style of healing and relaxational music. Originally issued in 1989, Music to Disappear In was his first recording for the label Hearts of Space. A bit dated by this juncture, these nine songs, all original compositions but for the traditional opener "Disappearing Into You", use piano and keyboards as a central voice, creating a lulling web of atmospheric string sounds complemented by flute and percussion. Long used by body workers, Music to Disappear In is the very definition of New Age Relaxation music. --Paige la Grone

We have been working with R.J. Mischo since 1994. But never before a new Mischo album has produced so much fun! RJ is a humorous guy, which is reflected in the album's title 'He Came To Play'. 'Rather extraterrestrial what I'm doing here!'. RJ's not the blues' retriever. He ain't no blues messiah, either. RJ won't invent something totally new. But it is his way of playing and singing the blues that's so inspiring. RJ just loves to play. And this it what makes this recording so intoxicating. You will easily put yourself right into the middle of the recording studio. 'This album was recorded live in the studio, with all musicians, amps, and drums in one room gathered around an old upright piano. Vocals were live in the room through a 1960s Shure Vocal Master, PA system.' Pretty old-fashioned. The songs: four new instrumentals ('The Switch' with its bridge is a catchy tune!) five more Mischo songs, tongue-in-cheek and virulent (lyrics are re-printed in the booklet). Additional songs are written by J.B. Hutto, Jimmy Dawkins, Sonny Boy #1, and Mr. Bo. The style is late fifties, and sixties - but always original and up-to-date - thanks must go to the first-rate musicians supporting RJ. Frank Goldwasser is one of the best. He knows every blues style ever played (check out his solo album on CrossCut ccd 11077, or listen to the Down Home Super Trio ccd 11081). The bass player and drummer are current members of Charlie Musselwhite's band, as is the youngest participant of this session, 'The Kid' Andersen. Regarded as one of he most talented players on the westcoast, The Kid's a European from Norway. And he can play! RJ's new album combines a lot of qualities: it sounds absolutely real, it delivers high-quality performances, and it was pure fun recording! This is RJ's best so far. Sure enough.

When Songs of Freedom was released originally in 1992, it was a perfect complement to either a greatest hits collection like Legend or the entire collection of the reggae master's albums. Songs boasts enough of the recognisable from Marley's canon to address the hit seeker, but the set also reaches way, way back to include Marley's first single, the youthful "Judge Not" from 1962, and then closes more than four hours later with a 1980 live take of "Redemption Song" from his last concert. In between are live takes, studio remixes, and, of course, standard looks at Marley standards, playing together as a perfect balance between the familiar and the new. The flow of famous takes increases into CDs three and four, where "No Woman, No Cry" appears from a 1976 set at the Roxy and where "Jammin'" and "Exodus" come in mixes that were new to fans in 1992. Of course these four CDs show in wide-angle view exactly how fantastic and commercially improbable Marley was. He was able to popularise tunes about both the repression of African nations and their liberation while also bringing to rock audiences an undeniably Jamaican music, breaking the U.S. and British geographic strongholds on the 1970s pop and rock marketplace. Never mind that he made Island Records' first fortune, he also created a body of work so lasting that a four-CD set heavy on alternate versions can stand out in any contemporary music collection. For the 1999 reissue of the original 1992 box set, no new music has been added. The format has changed, though, from a long-box presentation to a cube containing individual slipcased CDs. It's still a remarkable gem. --Andrew Bartlett

It would be easy to accuse Oliver Sweeney of nepotism for signing his daughter, Orla, to his own record label, but that would be to ignore the fact that she possesses a stunning voice. Operating very much in the Enya/Clannad vein, Orla's album did so well in Ireland that a wider release became inevitable. Ideal for airplay on Radio 2 and TV exposure on shows such as the National Lottery, Orla has an almost guaranteed audience for her soaring, melodic songs steeped in Celtic harps, Irish whistles and uilleann pipes. Wisely, she avoids over-playing the shimmery synths and whispery vocals that have become such a cliché for contemporary Irish singers, preferring to set her poignantly nostalgic songs in a more traditional acoustic sound, but using sound effects of waves, wind and seagulls to give an ambient feel to some tracks. --Johnny Black
