Abandoned in the jungle of the Nepalese Borderlands, two-year-old Nandu is found living under the protective watch of a pack of wild dogs. From his mysterious beginnings, fate delivers him to the king's elephant stable, where he is raised by unlikely parents - the wise head of the stable, Subba-sahib, and Devi Kali, a fierce and affectionate female elephant. When the king's government threatens to close the stable, Nandu, now 12, searches for a way to save his family and community. A risky plan could be the answer. But to succeed they'll need a great tusker. The future is in Nandu's hands as he sets out to find a bull elephant and bring him back to the Borderlands. In simple poetic prose, author Eric Dinerstein brings to life Nepal's breathtaking jungle wildlife and rural culture, as seen through the eyes of a young outcast struggling to find his place in the world. ungekürzt.

Das ist ja der Ponygipfel!: Die Haferhorde 13
Des is ja subba! Die Zwei- und Vierbeiner vom Blümchenhof machen Urlaub: Sie sind auf den Haflingerhof Meisl im Allgäu eingeladen - Tonis alte Heimat! Auf die Abwechslung freuen sich alle, doch die Bergwelt ist nicht ganz so idyllisch, wie es zunächst scheint: Hinterhältige Wilderer treiben ihr Unwesen und machen Jagd auf die putzigen Murmeltiere, die dort leben. Erholung ist da nicht angesagt, aber Schoko, Keks und Toni wären nicht die Haferhorde, wenn sie nicht alles wieder ins Lot bringen würden. Ein ganz klarer Fall für die Superrettungshorde vom Blümchenhof.- Shop: Audible

Force of One
In some ways this is the perfect debut album, sparkling with wit, invention and some truly memorable pop tunes. -Rock and Reel After releasing an EP in 2006, indie pop tunesmith Ari Shine has issued his debut full-length, the quite catchy A Force of One. Killer opening track "Cooler Than Me" channels early Elvis Costello through 21st century indie rock. The major influence of Costello permeates the whole record, in fact, although to varying degrees. "She Wants It (More Than Me)", another great cut, has a more straightforward rock 'n' roll appeal, while still retaining Shine's indefatigable pop instincts. "Flirtation Device" is radio-friendly AAA and wouldn't be out of place on a Semisonic album. The sneering "Party People", meanwhile, possesses the same dark disco appeal as the latest Of Montreal. The waltz-time title track reminds us that Elvis is king in Ari Shine's world. Fortunately, the dude's got the chops to pull it off. As his press material emphasizes, Ari won the John Lennon songwriting contest. He's a good singer, too, delivering with skill and just enough of a bitter attitude to sell his songs of relationships gone wrong. On A Force of One, Ari Shine is a force to be reckoned with. -Popmatters Musical trends come and go, but some things never go completely out of style, and good power pop is one of them. Cheap Trick will probably never again achieve anything close to the chart positions they enjoyed in the late '70s, and Fastball will probably never come close to those heights of popularity at all -- but Cheap Trick will keep selling out venues as long as they keep touring, and you'll keep hearing Fastball on the radio. If those names make the rock lobe of your brain tingle, then you'll want to run to your computer and immediately order a copy of Ari Shine's A Force of One. Like the Rocket Summer, Shine plays all the instruments himself and sings almost all the parts, but he never falls prey to the one-man band sickness -- that low-grade fever that afflicts somebody like Prince when no one is around to tell him he's being a dork, and that shuts down the part of his brain that can tell the difference between brilliance and self-indulgence. Shine is all about tight song structures, sharply observed lyrics, and focused hooks -- and if his hooks don't bite quite as deeply as those of some of his colleagues, his songs are still plenty of good fun. Even if you don't walk away from A Force of One singing any of the choruses obsessively, you'll have a great time listening to the widgety '70s synthesizer on 'Beat U,' the wry humor of 'She Wants It (More Than Me),' and the cheerfully cheesy house-ska of 'Party People.' Definitely worth a listen. Rick Anderson - All Music Guide Shine is a confessed Sparks fanatic so it makes sense that his album was produced by early Sparks alumnus, Earle Mankey. Indeed, there is some of that smart prog-pop here but he's a little earthier than art-pop, sounding occasionally like Matthew Sweet or Big Star. Tom Harrison - The Province Opening the proceedings is three tracks from Los Angeles-based Ari Shine, two of which from his upcoming debut 'Force of One' out in July. Opener 'Cooler Than Me' is reminiscent of US pop/punk band Simple Plan and 'Flirtation Device' seems to have influences deeply implanted in 1980's electro-synth. Shine is an artist who seems to have an impressive ability to create addictive pop hooks, don't be surprised to hear more from him later in the year. -Subba-Cultcha UK Elsewhere, LA-based newcomer ARI SHINE demonstrates that Bongo Beat's antenna remains reliable where new signings are concerned. Shine contributes three tunes to this sampler and the chewy, riffsmart arrogance and sunshine combination of songs such as 'Crank It Out' and the lippy 'Cooler Than Me' prove to be instantly likeable whacks to the gut for fans of early Costello and the Knack/ Raspberries school of gritty, radio-friendly guitar pop. Shine has been laying down his sussed choons with legendary LA producer Earle Mankey (Sparks, Dickies, millions more) and even when synths and beatboxes accompany the chugging guitars - as on the wicked 'Flirtation Device' - he's onto a winner. Remember his name. -Whisperin' and Hollerin.- Shop: odax

Crossroads Middletown
Polair bears his soul First playing this CD in the kitchen whilst making dinner, two things stuck in my mind - a number of the songs remind me of the melodic, melancholic folk of Sophia and at one point my ears pricked up because I thought I was listening to the Pale Fountains. Two points of interest are a positive indicator, an awful lot of the records I listen to fail to register any. On closer listen Polair has an awful lot more going for him than being likened to excellent yet defunct groups. The deliberate walk of the strings on 'Fallen Angels' is definitely one of the points that invited me to think of Sophia and it was the bucolic bossa nova of 'Eternidad' though sung in Spanish that made me think of the young Michael Head and the iconoclastic fun of his first band. Polair does up-tempo indie folk rock with some brio, 'Tragi-Comic Girl' boasts a superb opening and a chorus that is surrounded by guitars that are both melancholic but paradoxically uplifting. Then there is 'Teenage Years' that has some banjo plucking that would make the nimblest of Bluegrass pickers flush with envy. This is the kind of stuff that Joe Pernice started out making in the Scud Mountain Boys. Even better, for me at least, is 'God Knows Why' which reminds me of Herman Dune who are the best exponents at this kind of left-field folk/indie rock. Some of the songs suffer from a lack of a strong identity, but they're nonetheless pleasant and this collection is satisfying in the way that home baked bread is. David Cowling Americana UK Crossroads, Middletown was created to fulfil every interpretation imaginable, so I can hardly get it wrong. If you stripped away the vocals for 'Settle Down' it sounds like Craig David has taken a trip to Texas and taken on the influences, banjos, folk life and decided to remix his songs with a country twang. But by adding Fabien back into the equation this song is by no means a joke, it's a well constructed musical journey of dusty settings and spectacular views. 'Fallen Angels' is by far my favourite track on this EP. Not only does it have a deep meaning behind the lyrics, the music is spell binding and takes you by the wings up into the darkness of above. This record is truly deserving of a pat on the back, Fabien's ear for music is transformed into beautiful songs with heart felt story's behind each and every one. This doesn't just create a good listen but also creates a connection to the artist and this bond will make you a fan for life. Beckie A The-Mag Fabien Polair returns with an amazingly enchanting, and undeniably elegant album. If you haven't heard anything by Fabien Polair yet, then you are surely missing out on something magical. He is an artist with a very raw and passionate talent, and he expresses emotions perfectly through his music, which is something that very few musicians tend to achieve. Fabien Polair has returned with a new album titled 'Crossroads, Middletown', and it houses fourteen of the most fabulous tracks. Followers of Fabien Polair's music may think that 'Crossroads, Middletown' is his own personal reaction to his previous album, 'Circumstances of the Present World', which is fairly politically focused and contrasting in themes and sounds compared to his latest effort, but it's simply the work of a musician who is free to follow his moods and inspiration, whatever the consequences and wherever they may lead. Track five of the album, 'Caught In The Monotony', is particularly worth noting for the beautiful harmonica melodies. It is rare for a musician to use a harmonica for more than a brief flirtation in a song, however Polair makes it sing and the sound is so rich and vibrant that one almost wouldn't mind hearing the pure instrumental part of the track by itself. The ballads are soothing whilst tracks such as 'Tragi-Comic Girl' and 'Teenage Years' provide a slightly more pop and light-hearted feel. The graceful tones of Fabien Polair's voice are quite simply put, intoxicating. This album really grows on you the more that you listen to it, there is an instant attraction that builds until before you know it - you've placed it amongst your favourite albums. 'Crossroads, Middletown' is a delicate mix of easy listening and folk, yet it doesn't flow as a paint by numbers album, it is far too soft and charming to be that straight forward. Fabien Polair will be performing throughout Europe during 2008, it would be a complete delight to see him live, and I for one am eagerly awaiting his next move. Goldie Stewart Subba-Cultcha Crossroads, Middletown is a lovely gentle piece of Americana, with hints of American Music Club, American Football and Wilco, to name but a few. Lovely, lush instrumentation layered deeply and complimented perfectly by Fabien's voice, which perfectly walks the line between vulnerable and whiney. Making it even more impressive is the fact that he played everything on the album himself (I assume not at the same time, because there's quite a lot going on in some of the songs!) and even appears to have released the CD himself. In some ways I find it a real shame that such an obvious talent can't get his record released by a label, but on the other hand if self releasing gives him the freedom to make such great alt. Country songs then it's all good. Recommended if you like slide guitar and banjos, and Uncle Tupelo and Jets to Brazil. Will Slater Die Shellsuit, Die!- Shop: odax
