SUGAR FIRE - CONCERT FOR TIBET CD

The recent and continuing sad and terrible images from Tibet, emanating from our television screens, make this CD one of the most poignant around at present. The first half of this album is the recording of “Concert for Tibet” held at the Hebden Bridge Trades Club in 2006. The second half consists of re-mastered or re-mixed versions of the concert tracks, this allowing the listener to play a particular favourite, or to enjoy sitting back, and letting the feel of the “live” gig envelop them. To try and reproduce this style of music from a studio sound, to a live performance is a monumental task, the quality of Richard Dalby and his fellow performers is obvious to anyone who listens to this album, as they achieve it with style. This is one of, if not the best “Live” experimental/ambience music CDs I have heard, at times it is almost subliminal in its feel, while percussionists in particular, will enjoy the beats and rhythms throughout. The music is uplifting and inspiring, and mirrors the Tibetan people and their country. The two cultures merging together in the harmony the country richly deserves and continues to strive for.

Proceeds from this CD are donated to support Tibetan medical and school projects.
