What recollections do you have from visits to your local zoo as a child or now, with your own children as an adult? This album gives its animal characters a voice – we can only imagine what kind of thoughts Zelda The Zebra or Olga Ostrich may or may not be thinking… So let’s spend some fun time to explore the big and wonderful Animal Kingdom on this quirky album dedicated to all of our furry friends in the ZANY ZOOs around the world.

This is the story of a big movie romance with our favorite star in the leading role. Complete with all of its intricacies and FILMIC FEELINGS going around and around and going up and going down. He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not, until every last flower petal has been torn off its pistil, dropped onto the floor and left there to wilt. But only as long as our main character falls victim to yet another charming and handsome Mr. Right.
Producer: Ervin Trofimov / Mastering: Tim Geraghty
This is a beautiful organic album that honestly captures so many settings in what I would describe as a perfect summer vacation. The natural and positive excitement of the tracks diving head first into an alpine lake or gently flowing like a stream through a lush green forest. So if the rolling hills of some far-away hinterland or the summit of a mountain in Switzerland are on your bucket list or if you don’t know what I’m talking about here and you’re still looking for the ultimate way to spend your free time, just let this soundtrack lead you to the best summer vacation of your life.

Here’s my personal hippie flavored musical compilation called STONED & SENTIMENTAL. I’m glad I was an American teenager who figured out there was a pretty big anti-establishment and whatever the hell else wasn’t cool movement going on in a far from glamourous New York City of the 70’s. This album is a tribute to all of us who found out about great music and flower power, because I know that Rock and Roll made my world a much better place to hang out in. Sure wish my parents could have understood what they were missing.

How many emotions does your heart and your head feel in each and every day? How many situations do you encounter in which you make split second decisions in your reaction towards a person or a particular setting you may find yourself in? What does your facial expression tell the person sitting across from you? Do you look surprised or angry to them, or perhaps you seem sad and tired or on a good day, happy and bursting with energy? Or perhaps they don’t reveal anything at all?
Producers: Jimi Ashmore & John Etkin-Bell
How many impressions and sounds do your eyes and ears take in each and every day? How many pictures and moving images does your brain process? Why do we see the beauty in so many things, while other objects seem ugly or even upsetting to look at? Or is it just a matter of individual perception and taste? While beauty may very well be in the eye of the beholder, is it possible to see the beauty in everything?
Producers: Jimi Ashmore & John Etkin-Bell
Once upon a moonbeam there were kings and queens that neglected their royal duties and found themselves in trouble more often than not. And no matter how often the wise old druids would advise them to take a look outside their carefree ways, they just couldn’t stop their debauchery. Until one day their precious little princess drank from their very own forbidden purple potion and took off with three hobbits into the ancient forest.
Producers: Nic Paton & John Bartmann / Mastering: Tim Geraghty
Have you ever had a bad accident? A head on collision with the grim reaper? Or do you know someone who’s had a near death experience, a short visit to the world beyond the one we all know now in this life we call home?

This album tells the story of a patient who’s been to the great beyond and back.

Have you ever felt sad for no reason? You go through your day thinking, why am I sad? What happened that has made me feel this way? And you dig deep down inside yourself and you can’t find an answer.

We’ll just call it DEEP DEPRESSION. Is there a way out of your own self?

Producer: Tim Geraghty
Isn’t electricity just about one of the most fascinating forces you’ve ever come into contact with? Can we imagine a day without voltage? Your fridge, your phone, your computer, your TV, your lights, your mixer, your oven, your espresso machine, etc. Basically, your whole life runs on electricity. That’s why we’ve interpreted many forms of electricity musically on this album. Lots of waves and just as many wires to charge your batteries and keep you going.
Producers: Jimi Ashmore & John-Etkin Bell
Time is relative. Time can run away from you and time can move so slowly, that you need to kill an hour or an entire day. Killing time. What a concept. In that sense, time can be on your side, but it can also be endlessly cruel and against you. Some people have all the time in the world, while others have to face the fact that their time is up. And some people have absolutely no concept of time at all. One thing’s for sure though – no one can stop time.

Where did we come from and why are we here at all? Are the places we go and the people we meet really only fignments of our imaginations? Or are we only being moved along by a greater power who knows our fate for life on the day we are born? Should that be the case, then why take “life” seriously at all? Nobody knows the answers. Nobody’s got it figured out. Even Nietzsche, Hegel, Kant and Schopenauer had their ideas, but couldn’t answer our questions. And doesn’t that make us all equal in the end?
Producer: Tim Geraghty
Listen to Mean Streets, Shattered Glass, Investigations and Dark Justice. And then he strikes in your own neighborhood, just blocks away from where you live and where your kids wait for the schoolbus. You start taking precautions, like driving the youngsters to and from everywhere they have to go, and you make sure everyone is home before it gets dark. You’ve seen this kind of stuff on TV, but you never realized until now, that psychoterror could hit you where it hurts most. At home.
Producer: Richard Powell
Listen to Fields Of Flowers, Warm Rain, Golden Leaves & Snowflakes. Talking about the weather always breaks the ice. No matter whom you might have a phonecall, business meeting or semi uncomfortable confrontation with, mention the day’s current temperature or peculiarities of the season at hand, and you’ll find yourself covering a topic everyone knows something about. We’ve categorized the weather into seasons and we think you’ll find this topic useful on any given day of the year, rain or shine.
Producer: Jez Poole
Listen to Forgotten Horizons, Hope In The Empty, Airships & Waveclouds. Mankind’s fascination with flying, from the story of Icarus & Daedalus flying with wings made of feathers and wax to modern millionaires venturing out into space for the simple fun of it makes us realize that more often than not, human beings long to escape the troubles of the earth and be free as a bird. So if you’re thinking of filming paragliders, birds, supermen, or anything else that’s airbourne, these tracks will take you up and away.
Producers: Jimi Ashmore & John-Etikin Bell

Listen to Cows And Cowboys, Biscuits, Beef & Banjos and Growing Green Gardens. Remember what mashed potatoes tasted like when your grandma made them with real potatoes instead of some kind of chemical powder you just add boiling water to?

Start a revolution in your suburban backyard. The neighbors won’t only be jealous, they’ll be over for dinner.
Producers: Martin Haene & Marco Ricciardi / Mastering: Tim Geraghty
Listen to Chambers of the Sea. Smooth Sailing. Sundowns and Lost Days. And when the storm is over and the sea is calm and silent, the music on the horizon is at times peaceful and tranquil, but we know that can change in an instant to fear, danger and deep dark depth…when the warm and sunny days turn windy and cold, in an instant. This is the soundtrack for winding water ways and the emotion that accompanies the brave and adventurous voyager.
Producers: Jimi Ashmore & John-Etikin Bell
Listen to The Age of Discovery. Distant Horizons. Pirates and Ghost Ships. This album is dedicated to all of the bold and courageous explorers from a few centuries ago. It’s hard to imagine the guts these guys had to set sail on wooden ships and not even know if the world was flat or round. Not to mention other discouraging factors like pirates, killer waves and monsters of the sea. A tribute to all of the discoveries of those fearless men – if it weren’t for them, a lot of us wouldn’t be where we are now.
Producers: Jimi Ashmore & John-Etikin Bell

Listen to NYC. The Factory. Silkscreening and Instant Art. Do you ever wonder what is what like to be part of the inner scene of art and music in NYC in the late 1960′s? We do. But we also know our limitations, we can’t beam out of here and go there but we can make believe and recreate the vibe. And this vibe will really blow all of you art and music lovers and dealers out there away. All the way back into the NYC of then…and who knows, you may even like these tunes better!
Producer: Tim Geraghty
Listen to Online Breakthroughs and Setbacks, Social Networks and Lost Identities. Speed driven onliners unite with this depiction of modern man and woman’s computer addiction.

Listen to the Wonders of Nature. Green Trees. Birds & Bees. Majestic Oceans. Just as the seasons appear and leave us again around the same time every year and we feel this rhythm in our lives and just as the earth revolves around the sun in our atmosphere and we expect a night and a day, the music on this album reflects life’s rhythms and atmospheres.
Producer: Jez Poole
Listen to the Final Frontier. Space. Discovery. Infinity. Shooting Stars. The idea behind this album is space in all of its entirety and endless dark skies of discovery. In my mind, I tried to capture what it must be like to be an astronaut and boldly go where noone has ever gone before. Is there life on Mars? Air or water anywhere up there? Will we ever know? Is anyone out there? Going up and coming down.
