Free Play: Improvisation in Life and Art
$13.95
I don't give reviews for books I buy, not for any reason other than nothing really seems worthy of it. This book is different. Upon reading the opening lines describing "lila" I was immediately drawn in. The author's passion and knowledge on this topic paraphrase everything I have ever read on the topic of creativity, inspiration and improvisation.

Initially I was sceptical, though the author is a musician; it was obvious this was not aimed at musicians but rather all creative beings in many different industries. Somehow Stephen has managed to convey the universal truths that run through all creative disciplines.

Combine this book and Jimmy Webbs Tunesmith for a musically technical [scales, chords, inversions etc] approach to creativity, and you have some powerful resources at your disposal.

I have a bought a few extra copies to give to those I think would appreciate it. Stephens's site also has some excellent articles he has written and further resources/information.

lets put it this way: if you want to buy the juggling alchemists under the black light, or IFO by etnica/pleiadians, you can expect to pay hundreds of dallars. probably more if you want it on vinyl, or care about condition. i just saw a mint condition IFO on vinyl up for sale for a fitting $604.00. (goa). it's not a limited edition vinyl, it's not signed, it doesn't have extra tracks, most if not all of their fans have a downloaded version of it on their harddrives, and it's not pressed from solid gold. it's just a regular old IFO album. and people will buy it for that price. they will buy it because the pleiadians/etnica are genius. no one's spending $604.00 on a moby album. at this point you may be thinking that no album is worth hundreds of dallars. if so, that's because you listen to moby, and think play is a good album.

i think tht this cd is very good, their first single us against the world is a very good song and it shows off their singing abilities. anna and rosie have very sweet honey sounding voices like really young girls but some of these songs sound like some s club juniors songs. they all have great voices and they range from really low powerful voices to rosie and anna's which are less powerful but much higher :)
