Got the Rok Golob CD today.
As usually Gino's performance was amazing (two tracks).
I must say Rob is an incredible composer and musician.

Only one small picture of Gino on the CD cover though!!!

(3): A few words from the editors B&T dated 25 june 2007

Hello Rok!
Thanks for your e-mail with this good news because the Gino Vannelli fans need to know this information about Gino singing 2 brandnew songs. The fans must have the oppertunity to order this cd because it's a MUST HAVE for a Gino Vannelli collection! And now many people can order your cd very easy in Slovenia.

WOW Rok!!!!! Super beautiful........... Overwhelming all the musical instruments and the beautiful violins......... And those voices are great and fantastic............ We hear the classical sounds and the South-American sounds but also this wonderful violin in the first song "Entratum VI"..............

And the violin in the second song "Garden Of Miracles" is even more beautiful... What a touching and emotional tune.
A mix of all kinds of music and the wonderful saxophone sounds are super cool too and we recognize the Bass-Guitar of Jimmy Haslip, isn't it??

GOOSE-BUMPS album................
Thanks from our hearts for such a great gift!!! We deeply enjoy the art of music and voices..................
Especially Gino Vannelli's voice is incredible again.

The 6th song "Aykaria" goes from a soft rumba kind of sound into powerful orchestral sounds and back again to the rumba level with this unique Gino Vannelli voice mixed with the violin gives you big deep goose bumps and the choir brings in another level of quality. Love the saxy sound and the violin again and of course the most impressive voice ever will impress the world again also in song 3 "In Eternimi" Gino vannelli sings more than beautiful and amazing and the combination with orchestra & strings, especially the violin again, makes this "In Eternimi" a work of art again and does remind us of "Canto" and wants us to play Gino Vannelli's "CANTO" album immediately...

We made links for people to order this cd: "The Story Of Laxeno"... And who knows people talk and talk and let eachother know about good music.......

Thanks again for making us happy with your Music, very good Music!!!
People like us (non-musicians) need good music to relax in this crazy life.......
Life is much more richer with music, good music!!!
The Story of Laxeno featuring GINO VANNELLI...

ROK: CONGRATULATIONS WITH YOUR NEW CD and we wish you GOOD LUCK and success and we hope many people on this planet will buy your original cd... We are sure the American Gino Vannelli fans want to buy the cd too. And also the Japanese and the Italians and other far away countries. Barend and Trees in Holland 25 june 2007.

Aloha Barend & Trees,
I'm glad you like the CD! Thanks!! The label is working on the internet distribution right now. They say it will be available through Amazon in August, and they will try to find some better options before August as well.

I also put audio & video samples my site. Very soon I will post another video on my & youtube site from the making of Laxeno, including Gino. Thanks a lot for including my CD on your site! All the best, Rok

ps: the CD is also on Yellow Jackets site

(6): An e-mail from Terry in the USA dated 7 July 2007 with the subject: In Eternimi for Eternity!!!!

I received "The Story of Laxeno" on Tuesday!!!!
Nice CD! The Opera is beautiful!!
Rok's a brilliant, fresh, young composer. Bright ideas!

Now the "good part!" Gino's song, "In Eternimi," is perfect for his voice or voice versa!! Haha! He makes it sound like varying instruments throughout; violin, harp, flute, at least it sounds that way to me!!! On "Aykaria" Gino leads the chorus and here his voice is so strong and powerful. I think I could listen to him sing in foreign languages forever, his voice is sooo expressive. Besides, when you don't understand the words, you just hear and focus on the "Voice!!" terry

Dear Barend and Trees,
Recently I received the CD "The Story of Laxeno.
It is a very different sound and I am enjoying listening to all of the songs.
"In Eternimi" sounds like a beautiful hymn. Gino's voice is so strong and full of passion. Hits you right in the heart!
"Aykaria" has a very world music sound that is very catchy and memorable.
Well worth adding this CD to my Gino collection.
Take care, Mary Lou

Hi dear friends:
I've seen you have been very busy!
It's great to know you have been attending to all the wonderful concerts with different and beautiful projects. I can imagine what a delicious experience you had in Belgium with the "babies" I'd love to have the chance to listen to these other sounds of Gino!

I'm so upset, because I got an e-mail from Amazon.com, giving their apologies because they can't send the CD, they say maybe by april, 2008. Are they nuts? How can they think I'll wait that much! So I checked in your website, the other links to buy it elsewhere and I've just ordered it through Code7, so I hope I'll have this new jewel soon, I'm dying to listen to these new songs!
Have a wonderful week! Love and kisses from Mexico. Maru Camilli.

Hi dear friends:
My heart and soul have been jumping with joy with this new CD.
It's WONDERFUL!!!!
I like classical music, Brazilian music (Sergio Mendes, Cesar Camargo Mariano), violin (Jean Luc Ponty, Noel Pointer). And I find an amazing mix of sounds in this new CD, it has a very delicious taste.
I can't stop listening.
As I've always said, Gino works with perfectionists like him and The Story of Laxeno goes directly to my "favorite Cd's" section. I love it.

And what to say about Gino's voice, as always OUT OF THIS WORLD.
The arrangements, the orchestration, and the chorus and Gino's voice take your breath away!!! Every track is a beautiful surprise.
All my respect and admiration to Mr. Rok Golob.
What a way to write music and perform it!!!
And a recognition to all the musicians and singers, they're great!!!

In the meantime Gino and Rok worked together again in Gino's studio and Rok got involved in Gino Vannelli's new album for Universal. So you all can imagine the musical works of Arts these 2 creative minds will produce... and if we understand everything well, Gino is involved in Rok Golob's international musical project in which Gino sings 2 songs and does producer's work and Rok is involved in Gino's new project for Universal as a producer, arranger, keyboard player and violinist. The Gino Vannelli fans can look forward to 2 new songs to listen to on Rok Golob's new album sung by Gino Vannelli and 7 new songs on Gino Vannelli's new album in October 2005.

Two Masters in music working and creating together... This collaboration will bring us masterpieces for sure... The musical temperatures will get very high in Gino Vannelli's studio with those 2 masterminds...

GO to Rok Golob's web site...

GO to the TOP again...

Go to amazon.com and order this cd...
