There are some very fine recordings nominated in all the categories.
I had posted on an earlier thread that "Tap Dance On A Cloud" had debuted at number 6 on these charts last March,remained in the top 10 for three months and in the top 100 chart for 6 months.The CD has been added to 200 radio stations from Australia and Japan to Spain and Siberia.Several tracks have been added to three Musak CDs.
The CD features the first 7 and 11 string bass guitars utilizing a combination of traditional playing,Percussive Harmonics,and two handed touch style playing. There are no bass overdubs and the other melodic instrument is a amplified classical guitar played by Dave Nielsen,also without overdubs. The two percussionists,Ivan Krillzarin and Alex Acuña played a variety of world percussion instruments and drums.The CD ends with the controversial Low C#0 note played on the 11-string.
