****
 The
CD album Evolution is a compilation from ten years
and four albums of music by EKO (which means "one"
in Sanskrit). This music would probably fall under the general
heading of World Music traditions, as there are aspects of
Alternative Folk, Pop, New Age, Cajun, Irish, Caribbean and
Reggae styles. This is basically John O'Connor's work, and
his nimble guitar playing is the nucleus around which the
arrangements revolve. In going back through his archives,
O'Connor re-mixed 95% of the tracks on Evolution and
added three new songs. There are a total of sixteen songs
on this CD.
This music is light-hearted, joyful and
just plain fun to listen to. It consistently carries a sense
of easygoing, "don't worry, be happy" feelings.
Evolution is great music to set the tone for your day
if you start your morning with music. Or if you have a touch
of rainy-day melancholy nipping at your heels, EKO has got
just the touch of sunshine to brighten your day.
This CD album can be ordered from Higher
Octave Music, 23852 Pacific Coast Hwy., Malibu, CA 90265.
