Press Kits
I've been listening to Peter Machajdik's new album "Namah". This is a moving, contemporary classical album. I mention it here as one track is in collaboration with Jon Anderson. "Sadness of Flowing" is a 10-minute, multi-part piece by Machajdik with vocals/lyrics by Anderson. For me, this is Anderson's best work of the last six years: it's a very delicate and intimate vocal performance and some of his better lyrics (reminiscent of "The Spell" on the Animation re-release)

Pianist Marvin Rosen had a surreal experience the first time he heard the Slovakian composer's piece, "Namah," he said. "For 10-to 15-seconds of the song, I was totally transformed," said Rosen. "I do not know how to describe it. I was in another world."
