LOS ANGELES, August 6, 2008- BFM Digital ( http://www.bfmdigital.com ), a leading digital music aggregator and distributor of independent music, announces the release of the album “Jamtse: Love and Compassion - An Offering to The Tibet Fund”. This digital compilation features such renowned artists as Nawang Khechog, Snatam Kaur, Jai Uttal, Deva Premal, Omar Faruk Tekbilek, MC Yogi, Toshinori Kondo, Krishna Das, Bill Laswell and more. Top independent record labels Sounds True, Spirit Voyage, White Swan, New Earth Records, Wah! Music, Alif Records and others, all donated tracks to this worthy cause.
“JAMTSE” (which means love and compassion in Tibetan) is the first digital-only release from BFM Digital and proceeds will go exclusively to The Tibet Fund in support of their work.
This project, conceived by producers Joshua Jacobs (Ambient Groove, a division of Synaptic Fusion Entertainment) and Steven Weber (President, BFM Digital), is intended to act as an instrument to bring awareness toward the current plight of the Tibetan people. Each track was hand picked by Jacobs to focus on healing through sound vibration and mantra. The musical genres include World, New Age, Meditation, Chant, and Yoga.
"It was a blessing to have this opportunity to bring together music from diverse cultures and traditions in support of the Tibetan people,” says Joshua Jacobs “The enthusiasm and support far exceeded our expectations from the very first day we mentioned the project to our colleagues in the business” says Steven Weber. “We are proud to present this special project on behalf of our artists, labels and publishers whose generosity in donating proceeds from the sale of “JAMSTE” will benefit the full range of outreach, assistance and educational services The Tibet Fund provides.”

Review of the Carvin Bolt-T: Building a Better Stratocaster?
By: R. S. Rasnick | 02/01/2010The Carvin Bolt-T is a great playing and sounding instrument, but its principal feature might just be the cost. We asked for numerous upgrades (including a flamed maple top), and the instrument was still less than $1,000 (shipping included). Other guitar makers (including Fender) should take note of what Carvin offers for such an affordable cost.
Brief Review of the Breedlove C25/CR Herringbone
By: R. S. Rasnick | 02/01/2010Even though the C25/CR isn't a custom Breedlove, it's still an incredibly high-quality guitar. Just because it doesn't have the same custom options as more expensive Breedlove models doesn't mean it's not a solid instrument. It might be one of the finest acoustic instruments you'll ever play and is one that we recommend highly. The Breedlove Pro Series is worth every dime.

Guitar Warm Up Exercise
By: Gene Phillips | 02/01/2010One of the important parts of being an excellent guitar player is your guitar warm up routine. I cannot stress to you novice players how vital it is that you just warm up prior to each play session. I know that you might be excited to learn songs, but you must realize that the warm up is going to strengthen your fingers, forearms, picking hand, and it can help you develop excellent habits.
