Climbing/Longing is a compilation
of songs that are about spiritual growth and expansion, discovery, without
and within, and the great joy and longing that comes along the way to
that discovery. Its tone and sequence is deliberately focused on the progression
towards soul completion. This, like all of the other CD's of Alex Kash's,
is not normal music. This music was given by Spirit, to Alex, a healer
and shaman, and was created with the intent to heal all those who want
a healing of a particular or non-particular issue. To access that healing,
get quiet and comfortable, and ask for a healing during the playing of
this music. Then relax and enjoy the healing energy, and the music.
Expectations: Written with my wife Bethany about letting go of expectations,
in the music business, in life. About circumstances seemingly beyond our
control, and mastering them anyway.
Tore It Apart: Written as three chapters of a life, three views of living,
loss of innocence, arrogance, and compassion. Cory Lerios of Pablo Cruise
plays B-3 organ on this one.
Sensation: This one's about living here in the flesh, to be in a body
in this world, and the joys of various sensual experiences, touch, smell,
taste, hearing, seeing, being.
Freedom: Written with my wife Bethany about the sound of freedom, which
is really the sound of breathing. Think about it.
Joy In Living: Self explanatory, and a lot of fun to sing.
Friends For Life: I'd like to say I'm really proud and pleased with this
song. It's about former lovers coming to grips with a deeper and more
permanent friendship.
REVIEW OF 'TORE IT APART' BY MATTHEW HURST AKA DJBOX "According to
Alex Kash's website, Mr. Kash has had experience in the music industry
for at least 30 years, and has worked with artists such as Journey and
Pat Travers (both of whom he has written songs for, apparently). The experience
shows in his own work, specifically his song entitled "Tore It Apart".
This song is a throwback to Rhythm and Blues in the traditional sense,
back to the soulful roots lost somewhere after the 1970s. This track completely
encompasses that sound, from the soulful Hammond Organ, to the bittersweet
piano, to the kind of rusty acoustic drums seemingly lost years ago. Perhaps
most impressive is the artist's vocal talents, varying in range with the
kind of mourning soul voice rivaling the greats of the genre. Additionally,
Kash crafts his recording technically around the sound of the era - and
for better or worse that means the song will not have CD quality range,
but should sound like a mint condition record... If you enjoy the kind
of acoustic soul reminiscent of an era gone by (and gone by all too soon
as this song reminds me), by all means download this song. Otherwise,
if you are a bit curious about old-school soul in a neo-soul world, give
it a shot. Alex Kash is an amazing and experienced producer and indeed
an artist as well..." |
