The album contains very relaxed songs with a meditative character. My favorite songs: October Days, Blue Planet.
David is a DSD & MQA pioneer, so this album comes remastered as MQA.

The Blue Planet (David Elias)
And you took the bluest of them all
Put it on a path where water falls
And you took the greenest of the green
Put it underneath one canopy
And you took the globe that burns on high
Put it far enough to warm my eyes
And you took the earth to trod upon
To realize our time before we're gone
And if this is your best place
Why you lay it all to waste
And if this is your safe home
Why you break its fragile bones
And If this is your last chance
Why you dance with circumstance
And if this is all for real
Why pretend you cannot feel

Not Near Enough (David Elias)
I went down to Whiskeytown not near enough
I filled my water on the way not near enough
I took a room by some blue lagoon not near enough
Watched those waves come crashing through
Not near enough
I built a boat of rushing reeds not near enough
Packed a bag of apple seeds not near enough
I said a prayer and combed my hair not near enough
Lit out for the ocean air
Not near enough
Broke my bread on my brother's head not near enough
I wondered if enough was said not near enough
It wasn't clear to cheer me up not near enough
Forget I'm here I'll disappear
Not near enough
I went down to Whiskeytown not near enough
I filled my water on the way not near enough
I took a room by some blue lagoon not near enough
Watched those waves come crashing through
Not near enough

~~~~~ About "The Blue Planet" ~~~~~~
A "for the planet" project from 1998. The title track was also used on the first Musicians United to Sustain the Environment (M.U.S.E.) compilation. Here is the whole sequence of songs written as acoustic and electronic chill tracks.
Released in 1998 "The Blue Planet" is a statement for the environment at different levels. The title track pays attention to the quality of life on Earth..."If this is your best place, why you lay it all to waste?"...This song was also included in the first compliation released by Musicians United to Sustain the Environment (M.U.S.E. musemusic.org). Yet another adaptation of this soundtrack is now for a popular YouTube video by MantraOfPeace.
This Is Real Music!
"This cd is wonderful, and i don't listen to this type of music, but it really reached out to me. I felt moved by the words, and calmed by the music, and that is what I listen to music for. David Elias, you have a new fan!!!!!" -- Tiffanee, The Music Woman
...a little Crosby, Stills and Nash...
"I started listening to this track ['The Blue Planet'], and I though wow this is really… really good, I was hearing a little Crosby, Stills and Nash in there and totally into the track, and then I thought what would make this track even better would be a little accordion, and then the accordion came in, I take my hat off to you David, I’m downloading this one now." -- Freddie
I'm Speechless..,.
"I can't believe you've received only 3 reviews for this masterpiece ['The Blue Planet']. It's an incredible song, definitely one of your very bests (if not THE best). I'm speechless, I can't think of superlatives to adequately describe this gem... You da man!" -- Doctor C.
As Always
"You have made a just incredible sounding track [The Blue Planet]. The lyrics are concise but present amazing visual images...And that is a feat! Everything in the song sounds mixed perfectly...I am going to enjoy listening to this a lot in the future. Such an important topic, and you make it so comfortable for me to hear it. Thanks." -- Will Mitchell
A kind of prayer for our planet Earth ...
"The Blue Planet CD EP unfolds as a kind of prayer for our planet Earth, featuring two vocal tracks and several quiet meditative instrumental piano/keyboards tracks. The title track notes the beauty of Earth while questioning our relentless quest to destroy it with pollution, war, etc: "And you took the bluest of them all and put it on a path where water falls. And you took the greenest of the green and put it under one canopy. And you put the globe that burns on high, put it far enough to warm my eyes ..." Extraordinary!" -- Riff Gibson, Raging Smolder Review
You're Killing Me Here...
"Wonderful melody. One of your best David. And the lyrics are as always the most purest of poetry!! And you used all of my favorite instruments on this track [The Blue Planet]. Lovely arrangment, harmonies I mean come on... you're killing me here!!!! I don't know how it is possible but every song you write it is as if God has kept your muse to himself for a time, and then allows you to release your muse to the rest of of us mortals. This goes on my radio station as of right now!!!" -- Guy Michetti, Mixposure Review Crew
The dolphins agree: simply magical!
"The title track of this CD became the theme song for Beach Clean Up Day in Half Moon Bay, CA when nearly a dozen dolphins appeared in the surf riding the waves toward the beach as David Elias & the Great Unknown performed The Blue Planet. The rest of this CD is just as magical as the song that summoned the dolphins!" -- Seachild
Great lyrics, voice and instrumentation!
"The Blue Planet is a song that captures many thoughts that are so eloquently expressed through your great lyrics, voice and instumentation !!!!" -- Zest
mellow...but a strong indictment
"An ironic piece - mellow in style, but a strong indictment against those who would ravage the earth." -- Planet Patriot Earth Songs - Eco-Music

Intricate, exacting, sonically meticulous, extemporary in all its planning, takes you into a room then into a field then into the void.

Because of a Flower
by Ana RoxanneBought the vinyl. Spectacular use of sound with some insane vocal tracks overhead.
go to album -
Start at the end and play it backwards. Or forwards. Sideways either way. Squarely unsquare and rapidly descending. Captured.
