New CD Compilation seeks to reflect and unite POLITICAL & SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS

If you feel you have a song relevant to social, political and spiritual life today; if you have written/recorded music that could raise and elevate public consciousness, then PEOPLE SHOULD HEAR IT!!!

WE WANT TO LET THEM HEAR I!!!

'Solas' is looking for new songs about war, peace, politics, society, & spirit in Ireland & the World for a new CD compilation of music to stir and unite political and spiritual consciousness.

The manifestations of ‘values’ of pure profit are blotting out other human values like respect for each other’s lives, beliefs, integrity and basic well being.

Mainstream music like mainstream politics, has failed to articulate a healthy balance between ECONOMICS and SPIRIRTUALITY/MORALITY.

That balance must arise again, from people’s experience, intelligence and awareness on the ground.

3 years ago 100,000 people in Dublin, along with millions across the globe marched in public to express their opposition to the proposed invasion of Iraq. The wishes of these people were ignored, yet the people, their energies and their creativity are still alive and at work in the world.

We need again to assert our core beliefs and values….publicly, to properly reflect our higher elevated selves.

Songs have always been are great way of uniting people - a compilation of new contemporary songs with a social and spiritual purpose would be a good way to reflect and affirm this culture of intelligence, creativity and justice…..

Please feel free to submit previous or current recorded/written works for this new compilation.

All genres, all styles welcome.

Formats accepted:
-Fully recorded songs
-demo recorded songs on minidisk, cd, mp3 or tape!
-words of songs

Email or send or call.
Title suggestions also welcome.

Once we feel we have a strong enough selection of material, we will then go ahead and organise recording and releasing the compilation.
No fee will be paid but the proceeds from sales of the compilation will be divided up EQAULLY between all the contributors after production costs have been covered.
All copyrights will remain with the contributors and sending in music samples or demos will not constitute in any way agreement to participate in the project. Written agreements will be drawn up with all the final participants of DVD.
