Hello to those of you who have been supplying me with great info
lately. My AJ connection had left San Francicsco and I was in
withdrawl until I found you all. Keep the cool AJmails coming....

Haven't heard anyone talk about Spiritual Vibes. I picked up an
expensive import of theirs in late 1994, no title, just Spiritual
Vibes. It was recorded in Japan and produced by Nobukazu Takemura on
Bellissima! records. Anyone hear of this guy? I'm really into this
CD, I got lucky. Buying those imports is always risky. The girl
singer is great even though one can't really tell if she is singing in
English or Japanese. It is English and, actually, it is part of her
charm. The mix is artfully done even with an intro of chirping birds
on the first track. If you haven't heard this and can find it, I
recommend it. But has anyone seen anything else by them? I'm curious
if they have put out another album or if this was just a
studio-once-off kinda deal. Any info greatly welcome.

BTW, picked up the second cool compilation of artists who've played at
the Cafe Del Mar called ibiza afterhours2. Describes itself as Trip
Hop, Ambient, Dub 'n Jazz and it is overall worthy. Haven't heard the
first one, anyone else?
