(auch bei Blue Flame -- link weiter unten).


I am happy to announce the release of a new CD on which I have co-written and sung on most of the tracks, which were created together with some very fine musicians. The CD is entitled "Illuminate" and it was released by German-based Blue Flame Music. Our group calls itself Eso Es (Spanish for "so it is") and the music was created in Berlin, mainly for commercial "synchronization" (TV, film, radio spots, etc). Until now some of the tracks have appeared on various compilations and on TV commercials. The record company decided to release the music we made as a CD because one of the tracks, "See Peace", was placed in a feature-length documentary entitled "The Journey of an Olive Tree", which was screened at major film festivals in Poland and Germany so far (http://breakingtheice.org/index.php?page=news). I'm very happy with this song and hope that you will purchase it or the whole album on iTunes or from amazon.

You can also preview the full tracks online at

The music is listed as "ambient world fusion / electronic lounge" -- that's pretty accurate!

My voice is also very present on "Breathe", "Illuminate", and "Prayer" and used sparsely in several other tracks, all of which are excellent background music when not downright danceable.

I hope you have a chance to listen to the music and would enjoy knowing what you think about it.

Seeing peace in all the people's faces,
J(J)ohn


Listen to the "See Peace" on the Eso Es myspace page (It's called "Peace" there).

Chorus

Don't let the news get you down
There's always something going 'round
Trying to pull us to the ground
Trying to slip the rug from underneath us
Stand up straight
No need to find a thing to hate
No need to give in and partake
Taking sides in someone else's war

See peace in all the peoples' faces
See peace in all the peoples' faces
See peace in all the peoples' faces
See peace so deep we drown in harmony
