A Moveable Musical Feast is a unique souvenir of Loreena McKennitt’s 2007 An Ancient Muse tour and offers a rare backstage look at one of contemporary music’s most interesting live performers.

Stellen Sie sich vor, der Liter Superbenzin würde über 4 Euro kosten. Ein Albtraum? Ja. Bloß wäre es erst der Anfang. Denn das Ölzeitalter wird nicht erst mit dem letzten Barrel enden. Es endet, sobald mehr verbraucht wird, als gefördert werden kann. Und dieser Moment ist näher, als die meisten ahnen. Das Problem: Niemand hat einen Plan für die Zeit danach. Auch Markus Westermann weiß von all dem nichts, als er es endlich in die USA geschafft hat und mit seiner Karriere voll durchstarten will. Als er Karl Walter Block kennen lernt, sieht er seine Chance gekommen. Der alte Öltechniker behauptet, dass in den Tiefen der Erde noch genug Öl für die nächsten tausend Jahre schlummert - und dass nur er die Methode kennt, wie man es findet. Er braucht nur noch einen kompetenten Geschäftspartner. Jemanden wie Markus.

Fahrstuhl zu den Sternen (englischer Originaltitel: The Fountains of Paradise) ist ein Science-Fiction-Roman von Arthur C. Clarke. Die Handlung spielt im 22. Jahrhundert und beschreibt den Bau eines Weltraumlifts. Dieser „Orbitalturm“ ist ein gigantisches Bauwerk, das sich vom Erdboden bis zu einem Satelliten in einer geostationären Umlaufbahn in rund 36 000 Kilometern Höhe erstreckt. Ein derartiges Bauwerk, sobald vorhanden, könnte benutzt werden, um Nutzlasten in eine Umlaufbahn zu befördern, ohne auf Raketenantriebe zurückgreifen zu müssen und wäre damit ungleich kostengünstiger als die bisherige Technologie, und besäße das Potential, die weitere Erschließung des Sonnensystems gewaltig zu vereinfachen. Der Roman bietet sehr gute Unterhaltung und wurde 1979 zu recht mit dem Hugo und dem Nebula Award ausgezeichnet und ist definitiv einer der besten Romane von Arthur C. Clarke.

Signature looks back over a life less ordinary and portrays Moya's experiences through a collection of twelve superb tracks. Musically sharp and finely tuned, the album cleverly treads a fine line between the contemporary and the traditional while Moya emerges as a skilled songwriter with a global ear. In true Irish tradition, many of the songs have that bittersweet flavour - so this is no rose-tinted retrospective. Rather, Signature is a series of snapshots of Moya’s life – each chosen moment launches a lyrical reflection - which, when all woven together, produce a tapestry of contrasting colours and emotions.

“After Perfect Time [the preceding album] I talked to so many people about the uncanny spiritual quality that Irish music has and how it touches the soul in a way that no other music can quite do. Sometimes mournful yet full of hope, it captures sadness at a point where the only place to go is upwards. The spirit of days gone by which took the Irish abroad, to carry hope in the world, lives on.” Máire Ní Bhraonáin (Moya Brennan)

"Like the two albums (American Acoustic and Pastorale) that preceded it, Paradise by Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel offers listeners the audio equivalent of a comfortable sweater and a favorite pair of jeans. The two veteran musicians continue to blend folk's expressive spirit with the meticulous nature of chamber music in ways that yield serene, instantly appealing backdrops for reading, watching the sun rise, or warming a gathering of friends in front of a fireplace. Gone is the duo's midcareer experimentation with energized, ensemble-based settings; what remains is the pair's core sound -- Tingstad's sonorous acoustic guitars gracefully intertwined with Rumbel's lyrical passages for oboe, English horn, and ocarinas, embellished here with light percussion. Gentle almost to a fault at times, Paradise is nevertheless amply supplied with pleasant melodies: the sweet breezes flowing through Sailing the Spanish-tinged romance of As You Wish, and pair of engaging pop-classical hybrids, The Lowcountry and Rokeby. Highlights: the inviting Middle Eastern flair that adorns a tribute to Ofra Haza (Ofra) and Tingstad's animated The Lawnmower Song." (Terry Wood)

"Summer In Nagasaki is the second part of the so-called 'Five Atomic Seasons'. The compositions reflect the experiences of Mr. H. T. - an 82 year old Japanese business man - made during the time of the atomic bomb dropping in summer 1945 in Japan. This dramatic incident coincided with the relationship to his early love - his student fellow named Ayumi - who had no chance to survive that horrible attack. H. T. was so heavily shocked that he decided to abandon the world by going into a monastery. The music - written as one long track of 54 minutes - dramatically describes a part of his life and destiny."
