Unknown Spiritual Ethnic Folk/Jazz album from Alabama cira 1986. No info about this record whatsoever. Has some really nice moments and I thoroughly enjoy it overall too. Mostly instrumental music kinda similar to Wali and the Afro Caravan, but a little more Native American/Andean maybe, though not by much, its quite similar actually just more 1986 sounding. Crisper production and such. All acoustic percussive stuff with a piano or an occasional electric guitar and every track features one hell of a flute player, some have a kinda hippie folk flute jam feel, others are very ethnic minimal sounding, a couple have vocals and are jazzier, and then a few are kinda all its own, there's only one track with real lyrics and song structure, it is slow and morose but i still really like it. Very interesting record haven't heard much like it, especially not from 1986 and out of Alabama... I don't understand why it's so obscure. I didn't do any research on the label yet though which I need to. The cover was stuck to another LP in the Goodwill I bought it at, I was so pissed. Ruined a really awesome looking cover, but the record was near mint. Also, the record is indeed called Sounds Ov Earth, not "of", and I'm guessing the artist is Solstice, but I could have that backwards. Produced by Jim Wizniewski If you have any info please let me know.

new reader here. LOVING this place! thanks so much!
are you killing the lps when you put whole for free, anyway i recommend to put some samples, not entired lp, but is my opinion, btw excellent page!!
I have no idea what you are trying to say. Are you saying put samples up to hear them so that you can decide if you want to download it or not, or are you saying ONLY put samples up not full LPs, cause if so, that's ludicrous. Who could this possibly hurt? The artist doesnt see a dime of any of this high dollar collector market money, the only way the see money is if there is a reissue and the only way to do that is to generate interest. If you're concerned about other collectors having their precious items given out for free then I could give a shit, it's not like I'm a massive distrivution site or something, I avg about 100 downloads per item, some more some less, if that puts a dent in the price then the item was fickle and over valued anyway. This is music that should be heard, not locked away in a collectors basement. Vinyl is king because its vinyl, I buy records cause I like records, not because I can't get it in digital space for free. I think records can withstand my blog for the moment at least...
