We like to think about our music a little differently and offer our customers a wide range of music to relax to. We’d just like to highlight a couple of these ranges today. Looking for relaxing music? then check these out…

The first of these is our ‘Chill out‘ range. The Global journey Chill Out series consists of eight very different themes including Celtic, Blues and Buddhist and will be the ideal rejoinder to the stresses and travails of the day. Chill out range

Apollo to iPod

It’s 40 years since apollo 11 landed on the moon, or not if you’re a conspiracy theorist.

How little progress man has made in space since then and despite our perceived advances in technology our iPods and HDTVs, 12 megapixel cameras and DVD recorders are just advancements of technologies that were around 40 years ago.

Think it’s cool to download music from the Internet? Kids were downloading music from FM to tape and cassette recorders decades ago. Back then we were better at recycling, returning empty bottles for refunds. Products were built to last, built in obsolescence was yet to come.

So before you celebrate our wonderful achievements consider that in some ways we were as well off and into the bargain were better custodians of our planet in the past. And if that makes you nostalgic then take a trip back in time here.

Passion

Two of my greatest passions in life are Tennis and Music. Last weekend Roger Federer became the greatest tennis player of all time winning the Wimbledon Championship for the 6th time at the same time as winning his 15th Grandslam, breaking the previous record set by Pete Sampras.

My appreciation of great tennis is similar to my appreciation of great music. I have a liking for very diverse styles of music and always get excited when a new album is released by a favourite artist or group. I believe that a band or an artist is only as good as their last album, which brings me nicely to Global Journey’s new releases. We are only as good as the latest titles we release and have we got some superb new albums being launched next month.

In striving to become the world’s best producer of great quality Relaxation / Lifestyle & World Music, we are very excited about our next lot of new releases. I believe these new titles are all going to create a lot of excitement and become big sellers for sometime to come. So, keep an eye on our site over the next few weeks for the following exciting new titles: Gregorian Chant, Piano by the Sea, Classical Thunder, Ancestors, World Voices.

Revenge of the animals?

Did you catch Swine flu? No me neither. How about Bird flu? No? Mad Cow disease? Come on you must have caught some animal inspired pandemic? Perhaps it’s all an attempt by the planet’s wildlife to wreak revenge for the destruction we have visited upon them over the millenia. If that’s the case then it’s been a spectacular failure.

There are ways that we can enjoy our wildlife apart from eating them and without locking them up. You can literally live in harmony with them by relaxing to the sounds of whales, wolves and other nature sounds. Personally I find it the ultimate stress buster.

Piracy – right or wrong?

The pirates have been caught and sentenced, pending appeal naturally. We’re not talking about the seafaring pirates off Somalia though. This time it’s a bunch of Swedes involved in the act of piracy. According to Wikipedia “Piracy is a war-like act committed by a nonstate actor, especially robbery or criminal violence committed at sea, on a river, or sometimes on shore”. Well sorry guys but if you’re going to get involved in illegal file sharing and hope to get away with it then perhaps you should have chosen a less incriminating name?

The “Pirate Bay” founders have been sentenced to a year in jail and a £2.5m fine. The appeal result will be interesting and there is clearly some support from the illegal downloaders who seem to believe that it is their right to download copyright material. Some view it as “sticking it to the man“. Although certain downloaders believe that they are only hurting big industry and fat cat artists such as Madonna and Robbie the reality is that the huge majority of composers, performers, music labels and producers are talented artists who are not top of, or concerned with, pop charts.

The majority of people in the music business manage to make a living, certainly not a fortune but enough for it to serve as a career. The rise of illegal downloading has hit smaller musicians and music labels hard. Legitimate sites such as iTunes and eMusic are just as easy to use but the ubiquity of pirate downloading sites means that some feel that if there are so many doing it it must be OK. Of course it isn’t and as I said at the beginning the clue is in the name. If you prefer not to be involved with pirates and care about the musicians, big or small, then legitimate CDs or downloads are your fair options.
