HOW DID THEY GET THERE?

For the longest time, ABC4All has benefited from the work of Ben Mackenzie http://benmackenzie.com with many of his songs/lyrics/music appearing on various ABC4All web pages. The content of each song was so relevant and appropriate for themes being developed by ABC4All that the work of Ben Mackenzie has become an integral part of the evolution of ABC4All concepts and web pages.

Most recently, Ben Mackenzie who is based in Australia, has come to US for the production of a new CD. He works closely with Mirror Records - John Greenfield - and has been collaborating to produce the next Ben Mackenzie CD. In the meantime, Ben also agreed to create a New Original Song - ONE SONG to help heal the world for the UNIVERSE.

UNI VERSE = ONE SONG.

In this case, the ONE SONG is "LEND A HAND" Copyright Ben Mackenzie 2007 -Bridge by John Greenfield soon to be made available as part of the Symbolic Release of the ABC4All Bridge of Relief on 07/07/07: http://abc4all.net/countdown.htm

As the above collaboration unfolded, a discovery was made regarding Mirror Record/John Greenfield's outstanding healing music called "No Age Music" Given the compatibility with the thrust of ABC4All's focus on "helping heal the world" underlying all of the developing concepts of ABC4All, permission was requested to place the music and CD information onto the ABC4All website, which was then graciously granted by John Greenfield.

WHY ARE THE TRACKS PRESENT NOW ON THE ABC4All WEB PAGE?

The content of the music, how it was created, the intent -- and more -- ALL are so consonant with the discovery, creation and sharing of healing modes for the world. Reading about the background information available regarding this CD - http://payplay.fm/greenfield suggests that it would not have been possible to create music by a greater intent -- to create sounds / information that are meant to stimulate a healing response.

"Healing is the theme of this album" says Greenfield, "from the gentle cleansing of the rain in the first selection to the cathedral organ at the end of the CD, every element is carefully selected for its progressive effect on the listener mentally and physically"

WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THE MUSIC? Listening to the music for this reviewer clearly is a biased experience. Already so familiar with the work of Ben Mackenzie which has taken its place and which has been woven into many web pages of the ABC4All Global Portal Website at http://abc4all.net, it was a natural curiosity, then, to explore the music of the collaborator who, with Ben Mackenzie, wrote the original WORLD-HEALING song for ABC4All and for the UNI VERSE, "LEND A HAND."

What was utterly unexpected and created total surprise and delight was the fact that "No Age Music" is all about healing. Given the focus on healing via MANY modalities in development for sharing with the world at ABC4All, the exquisitely beautiful and moving music appropriately has found its home at http://abc4all.net

Listening to ALL full tracks via http://cdbaby.com/cd/greenfield results in an experience which not only produces a healing response in the listerner, as intended, but the power and poignancy of a set of music tracks that begin with a kind of cleansing to a final track that reflects the intimate personal relationship between the composer and his grandfather strikes a cord that brings home a powerful message for all to behold.

Relationships can be utterly healing given an atmosphere in which there are the right intentions and personal development. Everyone knows that relationships, in contrast, can be filled with many other components, some of which are not consistent with "the welfare emotions." Thus any relationship that involves a power struggle, personal abuse, failure to disclose the truth, or any type of inhumane treatment would not foster the best humane qualities we can possess. In contrast. John Greenfield lets his followers in on an important dynamic in his personal life. The relationship with his Grandfather truly must have been grand. The organ music with the guitar music combine to create a musical oddysey that sweeps the listener (at least it did so for this one) into a sensitive world of love and caring. Such support can lead to many constructive outcomes.

The brilliance of this work oozes with every track. John, himself, states:

"The album is way overbuilt", says Greenfield. "most people will never hear all the sonic information packed into this work, yet that influence is essential to the outcome of even the most casual exposure".

The impact and power of just the final track alone suggests that sound relationships of the type cherished by John with his grandfather can become a model for ALL healthy, constructive relationships. Build a society around such a model and what will we have?

A BETTER COMMUNITY FOR ALL!
