Flash is fantastically fashionable in the runway collection "Make Your Garden Grow". Electronic dance full of sunlight, lyrically hip, tight-fitting curves, and an earthy message combine to create a world of wearable music.

We are taken by this musician and his ability to capture a flowing brilliance of fabric, diamonds, and earth mist in "White" (A Tribute To Princess Diana). This CD serves as a perfect tool for refreshing relaxation.
