The Space Apaches create music that makes you feel good! Authentic music, recorded more like Steely Dan albums than contemporary productions. The Space Apaches is composed of talented Asheville, NC session (studio) players that put together really cool, meticulously-crafted rock music fused with a “spaced out” country vibe. The songs are upbeat and take you to a place of “feeling great!” They even do a few cool covers like “Just Dropped In” and a gothic rendition of “Ghost Riders in the Sky” guaranteed to increase your IQ algorithmically! However, there is an added element…it is available in digital download, CD, Vinyl LP and in a “Health-Science Enhanced” (HEV) version? What?Health-Science Enhanced Versions…. Better sit down for this… There is a reason that this record makes you feel so good and happy…and it is not just the great music and authentic performances. The Health-Science Enhanced Version/Vibrations (HEV) of Smokin’ Voyages was engineered with proprietary technologies that speed up or slow down the firing of neurons in the brain. The Space Apache’s label, Artists International (via its associated sister healthcare companies) has been involved with brain function research for many years working with world-leading experts. The HEV editions have warning labels not to use the product if you are driving, are operating equipment, or are prone to seizures. The engineers working on the project could only work with HEV for an hour or so before they become so relaxed that they were pretty much non-functional. The technologies even work with deaf people if you apply a set of headphones to the throat area and turn it up! HEV is also part of Space Apaches live appearances as they are over-laid in the overall mix to heighten the experience. “These technologies enable a person to tap into levels of consciousness that are normally not accessible…and for sustained periods of time” says Reed.And it gets deeper… The technologies were used in the creation of this music as well as in the recording process. “It opens your mind to different approaches and I’d speculate that it increase creativity by a factor of 5 to 10 times normal. One of the reasons the record has such tremendous feel is due to the technologies” says Reed. The use of this type of technology is not limited to music. It has been found that the use of this type of technology has been “revolutionarily” effective in treating PDST (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and severe grief. More can be done in 30-minutes with these technologies than in 30 years of traditional counseling or treatment modalities. Another interesting note is that the US military has been using this type of technology in its intelligence operations for many years.The setting of the recording of Smokin’ Voyages is also of interest. It was recorded at Sedgwick Studios, a state-of-the-art mountaintop, 20-acre, recording and media production complex located in an undisclosed location near Asheville, NC. Artists International (the Space Apaches label) intentionally created this unique, secure and secluded recording and film environment. It is surrounded by 12,000 acres of stunning wilderness to inspire extraordinary performances where high-profile individuals can be free of distractions, media pressures or outside intrusions. Ai is committed to art and ideas. It is this “conditioned” space that brings out such inspired art and accelerates creativity. In addition, AI has access to these scientifically and clinically proved technologies to enhance the creative process and listening impact. AI has companies affiliated with all major performing rights organizations such as is a SESAC, BMI, and ASCAP as well as international affiliations for specific markets. The Space Apache’s primary objective is that of recording. As studio players, it is the work done in this setting that produces timeless recordings that can be enjoyed forever (Or as long as one is living on this plane with electricity!). The band members plays out a great deal with other artists, separately and in various combinations. However, a Space Apaches live performance event is an EVENT! Virtually every aspect of the “experience” is meticulously considered…and it is this care that makes the joining of this combination of energies so magical!
