A RELEASE FROM THE BOOKS & MUSIC SERIES

Innovative Boulder, Colo., based indie label Spring Hill Music is pleased to announce the release of a new compilation, Music for the Spiritual Tourist „ A Personal Odyssey Through the Outer Reaches of Belief. In this accompanying musical release for Englishman Mick BrownÍs The Spiritual Tourist (Bloomsbury Paper 1999), the author provides a stunning and evocative pilgrimage in sound. We all have the potential to lead harmonious lives „ filled with contentment, passion and wholeness „ but in our often joyless, stressful day-to-day existence, we lose sight of that capability.

Through the pages The Spiritual Tourist, he takes the reader on a rich and illuminating journey to the outer reaches of our ageÍs search for meaning and purpose. Music for the Spiritual Tourist, compiled by Brown for specific enjoyment with his book, includes rare and powerful tracks from artists whose spiritual yearnings are an acknowledged force in their creative process.
