Hello
and welcome to episode 41 of “The Minstral Show”!
There
is an awakening taking place today that is led by an empathic moral desire to make
the world a better place. This awakening has morphed into a global collective
consciousness, brought to life by the individual and our common moral
foundations over the internet, through computers and our communication
technology. The World is evolving, and moving away from the age that came
before when we all lived in our own little worlds, before the internet.
We
live in interesting times where the individual voice can rise and be heard by
many…yet it can also be silenced by the powerful…however, two things are certain,
truth and evolution cannot be held back for very long as we communicate with
each other across the World and over the Internet.
A
very important element of our collective consciousness is art and music which comes
from the creative thoughts and impressions of the individual, transposed onto canvas
or into compositions. The world has entered a new age of renaissance that is consciously
expressive...and so today’s theme takes us on a quest to understand our path in
these days of great change, featuring Graham Nash, Temples, Riverside, David
Ian Roberts, David Crosby, Neil Young, The Colin Tench Project, Casey Stratton
and Chris de Burgh. Have a listen and if it resonates, share it with your
friends.
More
than just a podcast, World United Music is a solid connection to a global
consciousness that has emerged to build a better world…
SET: 01
Graham
Nash opens the fist set with “This Path Tonight” taken from his 2016 album of
the same name. Asking, “Where are we going”… The song reflects our common need
to understand where this dizzying and collective path of life is taking us… “This
Path Tonight” is beautifully written and expressed by one of the worlds very best
artists.
Following
Graham Nash is Kettering UK band “Temples” with their 2013 single “Colours to
Life”…
“Colours
to Life” is a song that steps back into the psychedelic sounds of the mid 60’s
era to bring its vibrant Colour and magic back to the 21st century.
As
the Psychedelic era of the 60’s kindled our expanding consciousness and desire
to understand life, the internet today serves our collective consciousness and
desire to understand as well…yet it is still, music and lyric that brings
colours to life…
Rounding
out the set is Riverside with “Reality Dream III” from their 2005 album “Second
Life Syndrome”
“Reality
Dream III” is a brilliant progressive rock tune that seemingly represents
communication of the fractal being who then passes into a collective state of
mind. A brilliant thought provoking instrumental that urges our minds forward in
a free-flowing thought transfer to set us on a path of understanding and
collective evolution.
And
so, this Path tonight brings colours to life in this reality dream, on the
minstral show.
SET: 02
Our
second set of music expresses how the vulnerable individual soul deals with the
transition and new unfolding reality of a collective consciousness; where
beliefs and illusions can be shattered by truth and by some of the spiritual
and material negatives that have risen with the technocratic side of the
corporate AI world.
Opening
the set is Cardiff Wales singer songwriter David Ian Roberts with “Indian
Blues” taken from his debut 2014 album “St. Clears”
David
Ian Roberts provides reflective understanding through a soft jazzy acoustic
tune to capture the essence of the individual in deep thought through serene
moments of reflection… In the overall collective consciousness, differing thoughts
of mind, battle, and can leave us wounded while feeling a little blue, but also
with important lessons learned…the music is emotionally expressive and Subtly
pleasant that connects on a deep level.
David
Crosby follows with “What’s Broken” from his 2014 album “Croz”
David’s
song asks “What’s Broken” as he describes the lonely fractal soul in all its
vulnerability.
Poetically
engaging lyrics and infectious soft jazz rock music, serves as a catalyst in the
sensual perception of a collective conscious awakening within a single soul, seen
through open eyes and empathic tether in a world living in lies…yet also understanding,
that life’s precious moments are quickly passing by. “What’s Broken” is a deeply
moving song that expresses the empathic ability to see the world as it is… by a
brilliant artist.
Neil
Young and Crazy Horse close out the set with “Driftin Back” from their 2012
album “Psychedelic Pill”.
“Driftin
Back” is a 28 minute masterpiece of reflection to when freedom and quality of
life was abundant and corporate greed had not usurped the world or lowered the
quality of life.
The
conscious connection that Neil Youngs has had with his audience throughout his
career is ever present in “Driftin Back”. When Neil sings, he sings our
collective feelings for peace, justice and human rights. An important lesson we
continue to learn as this vast world we live in becomes smaller through
technology and communication but most importantly, through our emerging collective
consciousness.
A
memorable set with David Ian Roberts, David Crosby, Neil Young and Crazy Horse
on the minstral show.
SET: 03
The
final set on today's show expresses the realization of how powerful the Internet
has become in bringing all of us together as a collective consciousness. Where,
through our moral values, understanding and empathy we can build a better world
together for the generations to come.
The
Colin Tench Project opens the set with “See How She Runs” from their Dec 2017
album “Minor Masterpiece”…”See How She Runs” expresses the lighter side of music
in an almost “Broadway meets 10cc” themed musical where our collective minds
have merged and begins speaking to itself…Sung brilliantly by Peter Jones.
The
album “Minor Masterpiece” is just that and more and features Joey Lugassy, Joe Vitale,
Gordo Bennett, Petri Lemmy Lindström, Peter Jones and the late Colin Tench with
Special guests, Christo Pellani, & Eddie Young
Following
Colin Tench is Casey Stratton with “Weight of the World” taken from his 2016
album “Collective Sigh”
“Weight
of the World” is a song lush with Casey Stratton’s empathic vocals in lyrics that
compares the intersection of two different worlds, the one before the internet
when we were all in our own little worlds separated from each other, and the
consciously connected world of today where the connection to millions of souls is
just a click away. A Brilliant song dedicated to making the world a better
place through the giving of ones self. A very moving expression not to miss.
Chris
de Burgh closes the show with a wonderful song of hope…hope for overcoming all the
trials we face together, collectively…we are closer today to achieving a
unified moral community because we are all connected through modern
communication of the Internet…we can achieve great things together and even
though there are problems in the world, they will fade as we grow collectively
in voice and consciousness until one day we cross the plane of evolution and
begin building a better world. Chris de Burgh at his very best.

After
a long difficult week in the Geopolitical arena, its important to shed the
build-up of negative emotional energy that is brought on by having to battle
against the insolent insanity of our out of control establishment.
Music
is one of the best ways I know to help me prepare emotionally and mentally for whatever
is to come down the road and so, I’ve
put together a program with three solid sets of music to do just that, featuring,
New Model Army, Riverside, Matthew Perryman Jones, Steve Hackett, Darling &
Co, Julian Lennon, Great Lake Swimmers, Darrel Treece-Birch, and Roger Waters. Have
a listen and if it resonates share it with your friends. SET: 01
First
up is Bradford UK Band, New Model Army with “Winter” taken from their 2016
album of the same name…
The
first time I heard this song, it made me think of “The Game of Thrones” yet the
song also contained the dark atmosphere of the times we were living in and surely
the dark times we are living in today 2018…what better way to lead off the show
because in order to heal our essence and absolve our fears, we must face the
winter in our lives and walk through it. New Model Army are, Justin Sullivan, Michael
Dean, Dean White, Marshall Gill, and Keri Monger.
Following
New Model Army comes the contemplative sounds of “Riverside” and their song
“Time Travelers” taken from their 2015 album “Love, fear and the Time Machine”…an
instant classic in my mind as “Time Travellers” connects us through music and
lyric to weave a deep meaningful understanding of reality and the times we live
in…the song is a wonderful escape and reflection that’s difficult not to sing…”let’s
go back to the world that was 30 years ago, let’s believe this is our time”. Mariusz
Duda, Piotr Kozieradzki and Jacek Melnicki are Riverside…Riverside also has a
new album in the works due for release in 2018, so we are certainly looking
forward to that.
Rounding
this healing set of music is Matthew Perryman Jones with his 2012 song “Land of
the Living” taken from his forth album of the same name. What can I say, when
you’ve written the most empathic song in the world, you need not worry about
topping it…just remember,
The
spark of light that is in you, is also in me, and all living things. We are all
here for a short time to understand what existence is…we live as individual
shadows of consciousness in a realm of the living.
“The
journey does not end here, for we are a part of an infinite universe that is
consciously alive in all of us, individually and collectively. If you close
your eyes and listen to the silence, you will see that light, feel its
infinity, and understand that you are just visiting here, for a short while, in
the land of the living…and one day, you get to go home…so put away your fears,
embrace life and what comes after…but while you are here, celebrate your stay
through deeds of great vision, fitting of your empathic journey...
And
Now, we are ready to confront the winter of darkness, as we time travel to the
land of the living, on the minstral show…
SET: 02
Its
been an intensive week of insanity in the global geopolitical arena, to say the
least, where plans within plans behind the smoke built up global tensions,
releasing a massive day of events which have left many of us, quite
disconnected. So let’s remedy that.
Steve
Hackett begins this next set with “Behind the Smoke” taken from his 2017 album
“The Night Siren” an awesome album of expression not to be missed… There’s a
great video of this song on the InsideOUT music channel on YouTube which is
well worth watching as it brings to mind some of the real horrors that our
brothers and sisters and their children are experiencing in the Middle East…the
song and video entice us to stand up and face our fears head on, which is the
key to surviving the daily deluge coming at us from all directions. Steve
Hackett brings all of it to us packaged in a song. The song is also part of his
awesome show. I know, because I got to see Steve Hackett and Band here in
Montreal so be sure not to miss them when they come your way…but hurry, tickets
go quickly.
Following
Steve Hackett is Noumea, New Caledonia band Darling and Co with “Massive Day”
taken from their 2014 EP “Close Connection”
“Massive
Day” is a song about a soul who reaches out to guardian angel Hekamiah for
strength and guidance in a time of great darkness and cataclysm…An awesome song
that seemingly brings a wall of sound towards you like a tidal wave. Darling
and Co are, Thierry "Pinpin", Gilbert Seliman, Patrick Eriale, Fred
Mazoyer and Stephane Khoa-Hy
Julian
Lennon closes the set with “Disconnected” from his 2013 album “Everything
Changes” an awesome album that should be on everyone list of CD’s to have.
“Disconnected”
is a reminder that life is more than the controlled illusion we live in
everyday and that our feelings of being disconnected is the actual illusion
because we really are all connected, by our common spiritual essence and spark
of life. A very powerful song to close out the set and ease our disconnected
frames of mind.
And
so, let’s face what’s behind the smoke on this massive disconnected day…
SET: 03
In
life, we are driven forward by an unknown force while always searching for
meaning in whatever it is we are doing…sometimes, in moments of quiet, we come
to reflect on the meaning of life, of where we are going, and how the things we
are doing connect the dots of our past to the present…we are always searching
and trying to find the answers to our silent questions…always trying to make
sense of life’s moments…
The
first song of the set does just that as Tony Dekkard’s “Great Lake Swimmers”
captures that driving force within with their song “Still” taken from their forth
studio album from 2009 “Lost Channels”.
Over
the years Great Lake Swimmers have released six studio albums are now working
on their seventh which should be released later in 2018, so once again there is
much too look forward to in the months ahead.
Following
Great Lake Swimmers is Darrel Treece-Birch with “No More Time” taken from his
2016 album of the same name. The song is about facing the tsunami of emotions
and the five stages of grief after the sudden loss of a loved one. A very
powerful song musically and lyrically in every way.
Darrel
also plays keyboards with the British Melodic Hard Rock band “TEN” , he also
writes / records and performs with original progressive rock band Nth
Ascension.
Roger
Waters ends the three song set with “The Last Refugee” taken from his 2017
Album “Is this the Life We Really Want“. Roger’s empathic and poetic lyrics
gently shakes the listener awake from a systemic apathetic world of illusion to
the nightmarish reality going on in the world around us. “The Last Refugee” is
a reminder to us all that we must change our ways or it will be too late for
our children and grandchildren.
Be
sure to support the artists by going to their official websites, buying their
music and joining their email platforms. Details are in the episode

In today’s edition of United Music Mag, we spotlight the
folky brilliance of "Miranda Lee Richards" with two songs from her new album
“Echoes of the Dream Time”. We then cover some of the exceptional music by
Progrock group “Riverside” who released a video for their amazing song, “Time
Travellers” on Inside Out Music TV youtube channel. Next, the ever creative
Psychedelic Pop band, “The Chemistry Set” follows with their new album “The
Endless More and More”, and last but certainly not least, Progrock artist,
“Dave Kerzner” who just released a new video for his song “My Old Friend” from
his stellar 2015 album “New World”.
We cover the very best music here on United Music Mag, and
do so, because music matters to us, and you’re here because it matters to you
also, so let’s begin…
1.
Miranda Lee Richards
With a beautiful soothing voice and ambient dream like music
expression, Miranda Lee Richards couldn’t have picked a better title for her
latest album, “Echoes Of The Dreamtime”. Miranda’s meaningful poetic lyrics are
beautifully displayed in a soft-spoken music that is altogether pleasing to the
senses. My favourite songs from her new album are, “It was Given” and “Already
Fine”. Both songs, presented below, will resonate with a wide variety of music
fans. All I can say is Bravo Miranda! Keep doing it your way, because these
songs are going to stay with us for a long time to come, and are truly worthy
of Gold status. The entire album is soothing medicine so after listening to the
two tracks below, check out more of Miranda’s music at her Official websites
(See links below) for details.
“Echoes Of The Dreamtime” was released worldwide via
London-based indie Invisible Hands Music on January 29, 2016.
It Was Given – Album: Echoes of the Dreamtime (2016)
Miranda Lee Richards was one of the first artists I covered
when I started World United Music back in 2010 on the Minstral Show, so it is
doubly special for me to see that Miranda continues to create great music
today. Here is the 2010 Minstral Show episode that contains two of my favourite
songs “Beautiful Day” and “Last Day’s of Summer” from her 2009 album, “Light of
X”,
Beautiful Day & Last Day’s of Summer – Album: Light of X
– (2009)
Riverside is a rock band from Warsaw, Poland founded in 2001
by friends Mariusz Duda, Piotr Grudziński, Piotr Kozieradzki and Jacek
Melnicki, who shared a love for progressive rock and heavy metal. Riverside can
be described as a blend of atmospheric rock with metal elements, resulting in a
sound similar to that of Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, The Mars Volta, Opeth,
Dream Theater, and Tool, while still maintaining an identity of their own.
They released a music Video for their song “Time Travellers”
on Feb 11th, 2016 on Inside Out Music TV. The song is destined for
classic status as the lyrics and music combine to weave a deep meaningful
understanding to how people the world over feel today…”let’s go back to the
world that was 30 years ago, let’s believe this is our time”…this song should
be on every radio station, sitting at the top of the best songs of 2016, it
certainly is one of the very best with this music fan and I have no doubt in my
mind that the song will resonate with a global audience.
Time Travellers – Album: Love, Fear and the Time Machine –
(2015 Sept. 04)
Sadly, Piotr Grudziński Guitarist for Riverside passed away
at the ago of 40 on Feb 21st, 2016 and will be deeply missed by
friends and family and also by his fans. RIP Piotr - (1975 – 2016)
There are many more great Progressive Rock tunes by
Riverside that are absolutely brilliant and truly worth the share here, as they
scream out to me as a good bottle of wine would to wine connoisseur, so I’m
sharing a few bottles of classic Riverside progressive rock today.
Reality Dream III – Album: Second Life Syndrome – (2005)
The Chemistry Set are a groovy Psychedelic Pop band from the
UK that have become a dynasty in their own right as they have seen the front
and backside of the music industry since the 1980’s. Here’s a band with many
stories to tell and are still going strong today with over 41 releases and
counting…oops there’s another one. They released their latest album “The
Endless More and More” on March 8th, 2016.
The Chemistry Set continues to mix the elixirs of sound to
come up with unique psychedelic creations that carry the consciousness for a
new generation of psychedelic rock. Special WOW OUT to, “Elapsed Memories”,
“The Open Window” and “International Rescue”, my favourite songs on their new
album.
“The Endless More and More” has something for everyone and
is truly worth a listen. Check out their album below and then pay them a visit
on Facebook with a high five.
The Open Window – Album: The Endless More and More – (March
08, 2016)
Our fourth big shout out today goes to Dave Kerzner who just
released a new video for his song “My Old Friend” on March 14th,
2016. The song is from his 2014 Album “New World” a progressive rock concept
album that continues to impress. Dave is currently on tour in Europe, so if
you’re in the EU, be sure to check out his schedule and catch an amazing show.
“New World” by Dave Kerzner is a brilliant progressive rock
album filled with meaningful lyrics and imagery that captures the listener from
start to finish. The entire album is a wonderful artistic expression that
fosters a musical experience you can see and feel. “New World” is a definite
must in your progressive rock music collection. Have a listen to the album “New
World” (Embedded Below) and pick the album up directly from the Bandcamp link
provided.
…And there we have it, another inbox of great music
