EAN: 0883629127392 Label: DanManDo Manufacturer: DanManDo Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: DanManDo Release Date: November 09, 2006 Studio: DanManDo Editorial Review: Amazon.com: BONUS TRACK: STONE, STRINGS & UDU - - - 'The Secret' a popular movie phenomenon, reveals how anyone that knows 'The Law of Atrraction' and applies the principles to their life can achieve their greatest dreams. These are not new secrets, in fact they are secrets passed through the ages from stone etchings, to scrolls, to the hidden chambers of some of the most successful figures in history. This piece is a musical analogy to the historical journey that these secrets followed up to their revelation in the 2006 movie. It is not the soundtrack, rather it is an independent tribute. It begins with ancient instruments & chants of Africa. It moves quickly into a modern genre with strings, choir, and a stone lithophone dating back 6,000 years. The music maintains the spirit of the movie throughout with lyrical cello solos & the 'Heartbeat of the Universe' resounding from a giant clay pot Udu. - - - THE BLISS SYMPHONY - - - 'The Bliss Symphony' is an inspiring 3 movement classical work for full orchestra featuring harp, flute, bassoon, piano, synthesizer and full choir. It is a musical tribute to the popular smash-hit movie 'The Secret'. - - - MOVEMENTS - - - 1. QUEST FOR INNER BLISS: A gallant tympani announces powerful intentions and you're instantly embraced in the beauty of a Celtic melody, plucked from the orchestral harp. Before long, full strings sweep you away in a lush yet energy filled pursuit. 2. GIFTS OF JOY AND RICHES: A spiritual & uplifting gift has been bestowed upon you; you are now more contemplative and confident. You realize that the gift you have discovered is not just for you, it is for humankind. 3. DANCE OF THE UNIVERSE: It's time for celebration and nothing gets things going like a latin-based rhythm accompanied in virtuosic piano themes. This riveting movement is destined to send you into vibrational bliss. All works are tributes written by composer DanManDo who is also the internet strategist behind the original movie.

 Rating:  - No songs from movie.....Although the music on this CD is ok, it is not any music from the movie. I was looking for some of the back ground music that was played during the movie or even during the menu part of the DVD. This is totally not it. It's still some what up beat music, but having trouble finding the link with the movie, except for the part it's called "law of attraction" music. Bottom line if your looking for some ok music the CD is ok, if you are looking for music from the movie, this is not it. Rating:  - HUH?Did not mean to buy this. Sent it back. I'll stick with the movie. Rating:  - beautifulsoulI have not written a review before and so I will be short and to the point. While this may not be the original soundtrack to the movie, it is indeed a Tribute as titled. Others may be giving this cd a bad rap and missing the true nature of the music...that being a compilation that will touch your soul and transform your day. I find it soothing and inspiring. The idea is to change your thoughts positively and change your life. This music helps me achieve this! Peaceful World. Rating:  - Not Good.....This CD doesn't even have a real orchestra playing, it's all "virtual" and synthesized. As a sophmore Music Composition major at Baylor University, I can tell you that these compositions aren't very good. The company and composer are just feeding off of the fact that the REAL music from The Secret (not available on this CD) are what people are after. Don't waste your time or money on this product. Find something else on Amazon. Rating: - Bliss: Tribute to Secret MovieMy error. I thought this was a DVD (movie)not a CD (music). The music is nice but I would not have bought this if I knew what I was buying. |
Sales of semiconductors in November indicate that consumer products such as LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs, digital music players, and other devices sold well during the holidays, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) said Monday.
November chip sales rose 2.3 percent year-on-year to $23.1 billion, the SIA said.
Unit demand has far outpaced last year. But falling chip prices have hurt industry revenue, the chip association said. For example, DRAM (dynamic RAM) bit shipments grew 25 percent in the three months through mid-December, but average selling prices have declined 20 percent over the same period.
The association also noted that rising energy prices and concerns about the sub-prime lending issue in the U.S. do not appear to have had a significant impact on consumer spending for the holidays, the SIA said. The group reiterated its forecast that worldwide semiconductor sales will reach a new record in 2007. But it will take a stronger than expected December selling season to reach the 3.8 percent growth goal the group had forecast earlier this year, the SIA said.
Investment banking firm Credit Suisse was not as optimistic as the SIA.
The November data was below normal seasonal trends, noted analyst John Pitzer, in a report on Monday. Even if December reaches its normal seasonal growth, 2007 industry revenue will only reach $255.7 billion, up 3.2 percent over last year. The growth percentage would fall short of the SIA's 3.8 percent target.
The slow November prompted Credit Suisse to lower its 2008 chip industry revenue forecast to 9.4 percent year-on-year growth, down from a previous target of 13 percent.
