It's 40 years since apollo 11 landed on the moon, or not if you're a conspiracy theorist.
How little progress man has made in space since then and despite our perceived advances in technology our iPods and HDTVs, 12 megapixel cameras and DVD recorders are just advancements of technologies that were around 40 years ago.
Think it's cool to download music from the Internet? Kids were downloading music from FM to tape and cassette recorders decades ago. Back then we were better at recycling, returning empty bottles for refunds. Products were built to last, built in obsolescence was yet to come.
So before you celebrate our wonderful achievements consider that in some ways we were as well off and into the bargain were better custodians of our planet in the past. And if that makes you nostalgic then take a trip back in time here.

Passion
Two of my greatest passions in life are Tennis and Music. Last weekend Roger Federer became the greatest tennis player of all time winning the Wimbledon Championship for the 6th time at the same time as winning his 15th Grandslam, breaking the previous record set by Pete Sampras.
My appreciation of great tennis is similar to my appreciation of great music. I have a liking for very diverse styles of music and always get excited when a new album is released by a favourite artist or group. I believe that a band or an artist is only as good as their last album, which brings me nicely to Global Journey's new releases. We are only as good as the latest titles we release and have we got some superb new albums being launched next month.
In striving to become the world's best producer of great quality Relaxation / Lifestyle & World Music, we are very excited about our next lot of new releases. I believe these new titles are all going to create a lot of excitement and become big sellers for sometime to come. So, keep an eye on our site over the next few weeks for the following exciting new titles: Gregorian Chant, Piano by the Sea, Classical Thunder, Ancestors, World Voices.
