Crux is the debut album from Canadian-turned-Californian musician Emmalee Crane.
It is a soft yet majestic wash of instruments ranging from woodwinds and cellos
to analog synthesizers and circuit-bent electronic toys. While Emmalee herself
describes it as "drone", that hardly does justice to the orchestral swell and
intricate melody that weaves throughout the album, a critically acclaimed work
that has been described as "an absolute success...built upon passion and love
and emotion," and "as beautiful as it is inventive."

Jan Hanford (aka "Human Response") is a classically trained musician in piano and composition but is as passionate about electronica and its various subgenres as she is about J.S. Bach.
She creates electronic music with layers of melodic and rhythmic interaction. Her extensive use of the minimoog gives her music a vintage analog sound which she continued when her music evolved using digital samplers and sequencing.

Recorded when Ernest "Doc" Paulin was almost seventy-four years old, this album provides a glimpse into the musical life of a New Orleans marching band. The ensemble’s blues-influenced repertoire includes traditional march tunes, spirituals, and pop standards, played with what New Orleans musicians call "lots of tone"with overblown horns, and of course, at high volume!

Doc Tate Nevaquaya (1932-1996) expressed his Comanche heritage musically through the Native American flute. His compositions and arrangements of a variety of Native American vocal genres have inspired a new generation of Native American and nonnative flute players. Although the older flute tradition declined during the first half of the 20th century, when many of the old melodies are no longer played, Nevaquaya inspired the creation of new and innovative flute compositions, creating an extensive repertoire for the instrument. With the flute’s revival during the 1970s, the flute’s context, function, and music changed. Nevaquaya played an important role in this movement, retaining tradition on one level, but manifesting ideas for change. 43 minutes. Originally issued as in 1979 as Folkways Records 04328.
