Uh oh, here's what happens when you get too many new toys at once. Sacred Earth has moved their catalog over to Real Music. Earlier this year, Real put out four of their seven albums all at once. There are three more up their sleeves ready to go. This set, which has a cover very similar to The Way Home is actually a round up of tracks from all seven sets. Now that you got that straight, this is a great way to get introduced to this earthy duo as their sets can vary from kind of world beaty to deep new agy.

A solidly tracked label sampler that calls attention to tracks from various albums that focus on music to bring peace and healing. It’s a nice trip through the body as well as the label’s back pages from the last ten years into the present. A sure bet to give your massage therapist to freshen up her music shelf; it’s anything but hippy dippy and sure to make an hour fly by all too quickly. Check it out.

This set is different from the rest of the batch by Sacred Earth. This sounds like the soundtrack of a vision quest. A personal album long gestating in the mind of the male half of the duo, it’s dedicated to the couple’s child. This child will soon be reaching his terrible twos and if a set like this was gestating along with the kid, one can only hope poppa didn’t feel the need to make this because the tyke is a real hell raiser. Squarely in the classic new age bag, this album is more about making the most of white space than it is filling in all the blanks.
