| Gasoline is the Heroin of America | Vocal-Male |
A rollicking “alt. country” take on the energy addiction that’s plaguing America. A stingingly effective piece of musical satire, with energetic mandolin and even a tuba tossed in; the song has been a favorite on indie radio. |

| Have You Seen the World | Vocal-Male |
Also in a mystical bent, this song challenges listeners to imagine themselves floating beyond time as physical beings as big as space itself. Expansive, contemplative folk rock in the vein of Emmylou Harris’s “One Big Love” and Lennon-McCartney’s “Across the Universe.” |

| How do we Tell the Children | Vocal-Male |
With swelling, gospel-like instrumentation, and a vocal like that of a country hymnist, this song about 9/11 and its aftermath. It touches the many disturbing and conflicting emotions the event produced. |

| In the Time of War | Vocal-Male |
Opening with a machine-gun drum rat-a-tat, the song immerses you in the alternating emotional seasons of risk, fear, desire, aggression that characterize modern life. Provocative folk rock, in the mode of artists like Steve Earle, with a hint of Bob Marley. |

| Kingdom Come | Vocal-Male |
A jazz-flavored spin through a harrowing sci-fi vision: what if all our machines, appliances and electronic toys decided to mount a revolt against us? A spookily effective aural environment is created with a sparkling melody and gently lapping synthesizer accompaniment |

| Kirras Song | Vocal-Male |
A heartfelt paean to a child who has yet to be seen and the power she can hold over one’s life. A sweet-natured, highly evocative ballad about the mystery of birth. Has a Tracy Chapman flavor to it. |

| Millennium Dance | Vocal-Male |
A rock anthem for a new epoch, simultaneously a gleeful celebration and rueful warning, presenting dueling vistas of the future. Hard rocking, with blistering guitarwork and passionate production by the master of apocalyptic insanity, Al Cohen. |

| Rich Man Poor Man | Vocal-Male |
Featuring bluesy harmonica and stabbing guitar, this fiery indictment of the greed culture takes up where socially conscious songsters like Neil Young and Phil Ochs left off. |

| Shadows on my Head | Vocal-Male |
A dirge against war, sketching a barren landscape where the only ones who thrive are the merchants of death, the world's arms dealers. A quietly insistent organ and contemplative guitar give the piece a poetic shimmer. |

| The Mayan Cliff | Vocal-Male |
A raga-like meditation on spiritual transcendence — music to get you high on the mountaintop of your choice. Like Ravel’s “Bolero,” it lulls with pulsations of sonic warmth and instrumental fire. A haunting melody with sensitive vocals, it has an Al Stewart, Rennaisance-like atmosphere. |
