For all you gearheads and guitar freaks,

Even if you've already heard the new track in progress, Threshold (which is playing as background music on the
homepage), you might want to give it a second
listen. This version has been 'tuned' to a slightly lower frequency
(A424), as per RA Music (www.ramusic.com).
The theory is that this tuning is more harmonious with the frequencies found in
Nature, and that music made with this tuning will affect one on a deeper level.
Listen to the new version and find out for yourself!
October 20, 2009Rhapsody.com has somehow gotten the idea that the CD
belongs to the group, Above & Beyond, and the album is incorrectly listed
under their name. The matter is being looked into, but it's difficult to
say how long it will take to resolve the problem.

Danosongs.com says, in a review of The Above's song,
Two Feathers:
"This week I have been
listening to a musicSUBMIT.com artist called “The Above”. Founding member Lenny
Stearns has created a very uplifting, energizing electronica sound that struck
me as high-quality and enjoyable right away.
What I like about The Above is how they combine elements of new age, rock and
techno in a way that blends tastefully. I’m also into the spiritual roots and
inspiration that they
infuse into the compositions. When you read about the project it’s clear that
the music serves it’s purpose - “To inspire you, make you feel good and give you goosebumps”.
The track the act has provided us for download is called “Two Feathers”. It’s an
upbeat stunning instrumental mix of Asian embellishments, Spanish guitar and
spacious beats with a
thumping, popping bass. The production quality is excellent too, so this is a
great one to listen to on headphones."

It has been confirmed that The Above is available at
Great Indie Music (www.greatindie.com
).
June 20, 2008The Above is now available at iTunes, Amazon.com, and
Audio LunchBox. That's the good news - the bad news is that on the
first two sites the tracks
are almost impossible to find with a simple search or browse. In addition
to that, Amazon has mis-categorized the music. This is being worked on,
but in the meantime, the best way is to search on either site for "the above
no solid ground", and then navigate to the album by clicking on the album
link. Click

to see the entire list of sites where the music is available.
