To get the enhanced version with the included images, please visit www.MusicIsArt.com and subscribe to the podcast through iTunes...it's free! ************* This podcast was recorded in July 2006 from Taipei, Taiwan, but never made it as a finished episode for the podcast feed. When I returned from the trip, my computer had a major meltdown and was out two weeks for repairs, so this episode was never completed. However, since we are currently completely swamped with some big projects and having trouble finding the time to do a new podcast, we thought we'd let you hear this Lost Episode. A "sound-seeing" journey from July 2006 through the streets of Taipei in Taiwan. Tracks: • "Adrift" from CONTINUUM by Jon Jenkins and Paul Lackey • "Mysteries Of The Mountains" from ANNAPURNA: THE TOWERING SKY by Mark Hunton • "Night Lights" from iTUNES EXCLUSIVES by Erik Wollo • "Palace" from TIBET by Deborah Martin and Cheryl Gallagher feedback: podcast@musicisart.com
