Relaxing music anyone?.
Here at Global Journey we are frequently asked if we sell any ‘relaxing music’. Well, the answer is a resounding ‘yes!!!’. The thing is, we find the phrase ‘relaxing music’ quite a vague term. 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. 
The second very popular range is our magnificent Nature and Music.
We have combined the best in relaxation music with the naturally therapeutic effects of the sounds of nature, the result is a stunning range of serene classics. The variety of musical styles and a huge collection of nature sounds ensure that each album is unique. Head on over to the website and listen to some examples when you get a chance. These really are a treat!.
The final of the ranges we’d like to highlight today is the sublime Spa range.
The pressures of everyday life increase year-on-year and as a result the popularity of health spas increases proportionally as we seek ways to alleviate the symptoms of stress. The Spa range of music has been composed specifically with Spa treatments in mind and will enhance any relaxing environment.
This of course isn’t an exhaustive list and we have much more relaxing music on our site that we’re extremely proud of. Visit www.global-journey.com today to see our full range today.
New look site is now live!
After several weeks of hard work our new look website is now live. A new black menu bar now adorns all pages together with a new right hand bar which has also been introduced to highlight some of our most popular areas. Early feedback has been very good and we’ll continue to make the www.global-journey.com website an enjoyable experience for our users.
Along with the new look we also now welcome two brand new areas. The first is Global Journey’s ‘Essential Collection‘ which features our favourite releases. The second is our new monthly chart featuring the top 7 best sellers each month. Currently at the top of the charts is wonderful ‘Ambience Ancestors‘
.
Head on over there now to check out the changes. Enjoy!
Sacred Chant
With a hint of divine inspiration this beautiful album features haunting vocals, an ethereal refrain throughout and is imbued with a Celtic undertone.
This celestial encounter is as evocative as it is relaxing and will provide the ideal soundscape in which to unwind.

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.

Dolphins, enchanting and magnificent, they were revered as gods by the Ancient Greeks and Native Americans see them as Manna (Sacred breath of life).
