This track is inspired by and dedicated to Travis Walton, who had an incredible UFO encounter in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest witnessed by his six co-workers on Wednesday, November 5, 1975.
Travis disappeared for five days, presumed murdered, but was in fact taken aboard a craft and later returned after a fascinating experience.

Fire In The Sky

This is a collaboration between internationally renowned Crop Circle investigator (it was he who coined the term' Crop Circle'), researcher and author Colin Andrews and myself.
Colin wrote a wonderful poem called; 
Quiet time to reassess positive thinking.
He recorded the audio for my friend and author, podcaster (to name but two of his talents) Jeremy Vaeni.
I took the liberty of adding music to the poem and sent it to Jeremy who then passed it on to Colin Andrews.
Thankfully, Colin really liked what I had done and gave permission for me to post this track.
I am truly honoured to be able to present this track and to have my music alongside Colin's heartfelt words.
Colin opened my mind to the whole Crop Circle phenomena with its many intricacies, facets and mysteries.

Quiet time to reassess positive thinking

Listening within and to others around me and 
observing our surroundings, it has become clear to me 
that the time for talking and finding thoughtful progress is over. 
It's time for quiet reflection and reassessment.

My own journey has included decades of 
research into the many aspects of what we call; 
Consciousness. 

My overwhelming sense is that humanity has passed 
the crossroads that represented the 11th hour 
opportunity to adjust course. 
Talking now is unlikely to change anything. 
The domino is falling towards a determined place.
It's time for quiet reflection and reassessment.

Quiet time will be a period, perhaps brief, to reflect and find ourselves within a deep air of dramatic change.

Enjoy friends and family and make new friends. 
Look in the mirror and forgive yourself and others 
and love like there is no tomorrow.
It's time for quiet reflection and reassessment.

Thank those who have contributed to your own journey. For the nurturing and happiness many have given.  
There are many good people out there who care enough to 
try and make our world a better one.

Planetary forces beyond our control along with the 
consequences of human abuse of our home and fellow 
human, have brought us ultimately to the 
consequences.
It's time for quiet reflection and reassessment.

The 100th Monkey effect around Mother Earth is 
speaking to us and showing us that this sunrise and 
this sunset is different to all others.

The talking is over and now it is time to be still 
and quiet.

Comfort in the fact that we are in this together and 
nobody will be left behind.  
What comes to one, comes to us all 
and hope for our children must be found within this window of togetherness.
It's time now for quiet reflection and reassessment
to find that place.

The Super Natural

This is an extended version of my track; Fire in the Sky, which commemorates the 40th anniversary of one of the most documented UFO encounters of our time.
The track has a new middle section and like the original is inspired by and dedicated to Travis Walton, who had an incredible UFO encounter in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest witnessed by his six co-workers on Wednesday, November 5, 1975.
Travis disappeared for five days, presumed murdered, but was in fact taken aboard a craft and later returned after a fascinating experience.

Fire In The Sky (40th Anniversary Extended Version)

Daphne & The Sea

a w a k e n i n g  - By Joe Gooch

This track is dedicated to the late great Peter Falk.
Long live Lt. Columbo 

One More Thing (The Great Santini Mix)

This track is dedicated to Dr John Mack:

John Edward Mack, M.D. (Oct 4, 1929 – Sep 27, 2004) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

Dr Mack embraced a worldview inspired by elements of spiritual and philosophical traditions which hold that we are all connected to one another.

The theme of “connection” to other life was explored most boldly in his study of men and women who reported that recurrent “alien encounter” experiences had affected the way they regarded the world, including a heightened sense of spirituality and environmental concern. Mack’s interest in the transformational aspects of these extraordinary experiences, and his suggestion that the experience may be more transcendent than physical in nature – yet nonetheless real – was largely reported in the media as a simple endorsement of the reality of alien encounters.
Earlier in is career, he explored how this sense of “connection” developed between different cultures, interviewing political leaders and citizens of the then-Soviet Union and Israel/Palestine in the study of ethno-national conflict and the nuclear arms race.

He won the Pulitzer Prize in Biography in 1977 for A Prince of Our Disorder, his biography of T. E. Lawrence, a British officer stationed in the Middle East who became known as “Lawrence of Arabia”.

Dr Mack suggested that a materialist worldview was the root cause of long-simmering conflicts between the West and other cultures, and was responsible for the global ecological crisis. A shift in perspective was required, he suggested, to restore people’s appreciation of connections to one another and to the natural world.

Mack’s final published book, Passport to the Cosmos: Human Transformation and Alien Encounters (1999), was as much a philosophical treatise connecting the themes of spirituality and modern worldviews as it was the culmination of his work with “experiencers” of alien encounters.

Dr Mack’s credentials provided him with some measure of protection from critics: He received his medical degree from the Harvard Medical School (Cum Laude, 1955) after undergraduate study at Oberlin (Phi Beta Kappa, 1951); a graduate of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, and Board certified in child and adult psychoanalysis. He founded the department of psychiatry of the Cambridge Hospital, the teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School.

Nonetheless, in 1994, the Dean of Harvard Medical School appointed a committee of peers to review Mack’s clinical care and clinical investigation of the people who had shared their alien encounters with him. After fourteen months of inquiry, amid growing concerns from the academic community (including Harvard Professor of Law Alan Dershowitz) about the validity of an open-ended investigation of a fulltime professor who was not subject to any claim of ethics violation or professional misconduct, Harvard issued a statement stating that the Dean had “reaffirmed Dr. Mack’s academic freedom to study what he wishes and to state his opinions without impediment,” concluding “Dr. Mack remains a member in good standing of the Harvard Faculty of Medicine.”

Dr Mack was born in New York City, and died in London at age 74.

This Is The Sound Of Mwom [extended version]

This version is to commemorate what would have been Anneliese Michel's 60th birthday on September 21st 2012

I decided to write a song for Anneliese Michel after being moved by her story after watching the film loosely based on her life; The Exorcism Of Emily Rose and reading the book; The Exorcism Of Anneliese Michel by
Dr. Felicitas D. Goodman
I have also created a video which you can see here:
http://youtu.be/ZiK95dOYAjI
Anneliese's story and experiences resonate with me as they do with many around the world and I hope I can do my part in keeping her memory alive.
Rest in peace Anneliese. 

Song For Anneliese Michel (September 21st 2012)

I started writing this track a couple of years ago. It's one of those ones that needs time to find where it wants to go and I was unsure for the past couple of years where that was. Finally it all came together.
