"Lots of people were later compared to Laura Nyro. Nyro herself was never compared to anyone." - Richard Harrington/The Washington Post
This myspace music page is dedicated to Laura Nyro--one of the greatest and most original musical artists of our time.
Born October 18th, 1947 in New York City, she burst onto the pop music scene in the mid 1960's and quickly established herself as one of the era's most successful and important new songwriters--soon providing major hits for both mainstream, pop performers like Barbra Streisand and The 5th Dimension to more alternative, rock-oriented bands such as Blood, Sweat And Tears and Three Dog Night.
However, in late 1966 Laura Nyro began a recording career of her own--eventually releasing several works now recognized as seminal templates of the late twentieth century singer/songwriter genre. But despite the fact that her albums and concert appearances were always lavishly praised and highly acclaimed within the industry, Nyro never achieved the same level of mass popularity many of her peers enjoyed. Tragically, she died from ovarian cancer on April 8th, 1997 at the age of only 49.
So although she composed several big singles for others, Nyro's most profound and enduring legacy remains her own classic recordings--many of which will continue to inspire and influence countless fans and musicians for generations to come.
Therefore, anyone interested in the genius of Laura Nyro is hereby cordially invited to join this humble myspace page and leave any thoughts you might have about our heroine, or simply connect with other tribe members.

Hello all, this will be our final release of 2009, and a great way to end the year... Pinklogik asked 10 artists and friends to remix her entire "Learning To Trust Higher Frequencies" album and what an eclectic and stunningly produced work this is. Each track has its own feel, thanks to the diverse range of artists involved in the project. A shimmering journey through ambient colours, broken beats, sweet melodies, a little bit of quantum physics, and is one hell of a trip....

[S27-030] MIN-Y-LLAN : Dark Days (Downtempo, Ambient)
We are fast approaching the last days of 2009, so what better way to celebrate than this release from Welshman "Min-Y-Llan" who offers us this collection of atmospheric ambient pieces, the melodies within are dark and cavernous, being the perfect listening for the walk home on a frozen winters evening. Each track has a very melancholic feel as if looking towards a future that isn't as bright as we hope for, but nevertheless are powerless to escape. Free download!
hey, thanks for accepting my add, so how is 2009 treating you so far?
