Spirit Rising was released at a time when the 60s hippy movement was having its last great swansong, and they were combining New Age, Tribal Electronic, Psychedelic, and lyrics about saving the planet all into one big bag of druggy goodness. Sonic Tribe is part of the Dean Evenson universe, and he was hyperactive during this era, primarily as a solo artist. It's all so very West Coast (Seattle area in this case). I like this one, brings back memories of the early to mid 90s for me, which were the most transformative years of my life. The music contains a certain something I cannot describe in words. Not a mind blowing album (could have used Ed Wynne on a few of these tracks), but I'll take what I can get.
Ownership: 2002 Soundings of the Planet. Jewel case release. Local thrift shop find (2021). Very obscure title, I had to add this to Discogs (and these photos are from my copy). Since then, three folks have claimed to possess one - and no one wants it. Still can be found sealed / new for cheap. C'est la vie. I'm keeping it anyway.
12/2/21 (CD 2.14); 9/8/23 (new entry)
