Ananda Devi Milletics is the 7 year old daughter of Gaian Mind founder Allen Milletics. In May 2007, she had a brain hemorrhage due to an Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM). She is scheduled for Gamma Knife surgery in early 2008 and is expected to make a full recovery. Ananda has danced with us at the Gaian Mind Summer Festival every year of her life - and will continue to do so... All proceeds from the sale of this compilation go to Ananda's medical fund.

There will be 2 CDs - a trance CD & a freestyle/chill CD. The trance CD features tracks from Blue Planet Corporation, Behind Blue Eyes, D-Space, Stella Nutella & Safi Connection, Sinewave, AJJA, Aphid Moon & Damion, Yab Yum, Electrypnose & Zen Lemonade. The freestyle/chill CD features tracks from Indidginus, Bus, Dickster & James Monro, GB Catalyzer, Kenji Williams, Kaya Project, Electrypnose & Master Margherita. Please buy the CD!

Colin & I have been confirmed to play a joint Indidginus/Unconscious Collective live set to end the party.

 29th August 2004:

Just completed 2 Schweppes adverts - 1 being a club scene & the other a deli scene. I've also included the full length mp3 of the club scene track so that you can get a better taste of it, since the ad cuts to some library music in the middle. I've completed another track called Machu. Josh's bass playing skills feature in this.

Been a busy couple of months settling into the southern hemisphere. What a great place this is. Only thing I need to do is get work now!

In between sorting out the move to South Africa & various other things, I have managed to get a fair bit of work done on Wheel - the first Open System track that Matt Ishq & I have started. We hope to get it finished before I leave next month. If we manage to do so, we'll put a sound bite up somewhere for you :)
