Bradfield's exciting new project Exhilara is a vibrant and stimulating sonic departure for the artist all while retaining his spiritual touch. With its upbeat vibe and a few guest "wordless" vocals from Anael, Exhilara presents an eclectic, esoteric soundscape and a dynamic melodic counterpoint, a compelling fusion. Although the US release date is still months away, we are pleased to be able to offer the album for sale as of May 7 to individuals worldwide from our website. 
With the advent of Shelley Yates' heartfelt endorsement of Buddha Spirit on the Fire the Grid website, and due to popular demand, Buddha Spirit is now available exclusively from our site, well in advance of the April 2006 mainstream release date.

The US and Canadian retail releases are set for April 2006 and promise to open up her artistry to a whole new legion of fans.
Anael spent most of the summer recording vocals for a new series entitled Buddha Spirit, original adaptations of Tibetan Buddhist mantras. Composed by Bradfield and presented with contemporary arrangements, gorgeous melodies and female vocals, it is quite unlike anything you might have come to associate with the sacred Buddhist mantras. Already renowned as powerful vehicles for transformation and healing, the great mantras now take on a new aesthetic dimension as well that makes them readily accessible to the Western ear. There are no layers of harmonies as with Anael's trademark sound, each syllable is presented with but one solitary voice, making this her purest and most meditative singing to date.
