Ray Cappo has been releasing powerful and inspiring music in the
alternative/punk/hardcore music scene for 20 years. His life changing music
and message has given him legendary status in the underground music
community. What he's created has had a ripple effect that has literally
created movements with dedicated followers, spin-off bands, as well as
committed fanzines. He was one of the earliest proponents of clean living,
spirituality and vegetarianism in a punk music scene that was not so
spiritual and not so clean.
Because of this he created controversy and
sparked debate where ever went. He also created loyal followers and devoted
fans, who have up and changed their lives because of his heartfelt lyrics
and message. At a time when kids were reaching out for some substance in
life or looking for answers, Ray provided the healthy alternative. Now at
age 40, he's married with a family and teaching yoga, nutrition and wellness
in Los Angeles.
Living with very similar values but speaking to a completely
parallel community, Ray has indulged his old fans with a lost CD. Songs he
had written but had never recorded- until now. ETERNAL a new 11 song CD
(Goodlife Recordings) catches more great songs that were sitting in Ray's
mind but never released.
10 new songs and a remake of Quest for
Certaintity the title track of his 1991 offering. Eternal delivers more
inspiring lyrics. A glimpse into the brain of a guy that has influenced and
bulldozed a path for so many, toured the world over (& over), released
spoken words cd's, written books, created ground breaking record labels, and
represented order, progression and a positive voice in a music scene that
leans towards chaos.
With the help of Ken Olden on guitar (Better than a 1000, Damnation AD and
Battery) and Dave DiCenso the drum professor who played on other Shelter
classics as Mantra (Roadrunner 1996), Beyond Planet Earth (Roadrunner
1997), The Purpose the Passsion (Century Media 2001) the music becomes
formidable. The entire production shines with the assistance of engineer/producer Chad J. Hughes who is an award winning Sound Designer for feature film and television. His production company Resolution Media is based in Los Angeles and is currently developing up and coming artists.
Eternal is another great chapter in Ray's career.

Some friends and I put together a video to get the word out about my book and CD. We had a lot of fun with it and I hope you dig it. I've been told it's funny. Feel free to let me know what you think.
Hello how are you? I just wanted to let you know that I have just finished producing a yoga, meditation & relaxation album titled “Surrender of The Mind”
This album takes you on a musical journey like no other. Hitz has captured the ancient sounds of panpipes, tabla, bells, sitar and many other ambient resonances for those who wish to achieve a higher state of consciousness, greater focus and self-awareness through yoga & meditation, or simply to accomplish a more relaxed and peaceful state of mind.
Surrender of The Mind is written for those of us who need to get away. Maybe we have had a tough day at work. Maybe we have studied hard. Maybe we need to reflect on certain events in our lives. Maybe we just need a moment to clear our minds and re-set our mental strength. No matter what the reason is, there comes a time when we all need to surrender our minds.
I have attached a mini player for you to listen to a sample of the album. Let me know what you think of it.
The full version of Surrender of The Mind is available on all download sites including iTunes and Amazon.
