Collective Spirits "Love Planet EP" 
(Camio Records CD Promo) 

Collective Spirits combines the talents of
producers/DJ's Jonny Montana and Neil Maclean, singer
Dana Byrd and spoken word artist Tantra-zawadi.
Together they present the outstanding "Love Planet EP"
that is comprised of three wonderful productions that
combine Dana Byrd's soulful vocals with
Tantra-zawadi's spoken poetry. "Let it come" is a
laidback track on a latinesque tip featuring subtle
keys and a marvelous organ ride, while "People of the
world" features infectious synths and classy strings
over a smooth percussion enriched groove. Lastly we
have "Just wanna dance" that is a nod to the classic
New York dance anthems, built around a kickin' groove
that is guaranteed to rock any dance floor. 
 
Lyrics and vocals by: Tantra-zawadi and Dana Byrd
Music written produced and arranged by: Jonny Montana
and Neil Maclean at Montana Studio's. Keys by: Bennett
Holland Additional Keys: Jonny Montana Artwork by:

support!"

Love Power,
Tantra-zawadi

alternative letters of our time,"-Richard Kostelanetz

"...Barriers don’t last long around Hugh Fox. He is
the ultimate explorer of the self...."-Eric Greinke 

"With Hugh Fox’s work I always find an abundance, an
abundance of ideas, images, yings, yangs,
births,deaths....you name it....he has enjoyed a
fascinating and full life, and he is not afraid to
tell you about it..."-Doug Holder

"Hugh Fox has long been a legend in the annals of
contemporary American poetry, a poet who is unafraid
to explore the deeper fodder of the human
psyche....there are no barriers here for Fox is a
shaman who walks through walls, ignoring all social
rules and regulations...here is life as art. Fox is a
poet who paints without inhibition or games....these
are poems of human history, which cry out to be heard
and read....” --B.L. Kennedy
