My Chillout, Classical, Celtic, Soundtrack and Alternative music blog Mystical Star has been in somewhat of a hibernated state, But posts are starting to come in and i have just added a new contributor, Jim who will be posting up his Celtic Woman collection over the coming months. I have also got a selection of posts to come including todays post which is "Hayley Westenra- Hayley Sings Japanese Songs".

WORLD EXCLUSIVE - Yes you heard it, this is the FIRST time this has been posted as this was made Exclusively for me by request of one of my good friends Alexampler who is a very tallented DJ from Mexico City. I put in the request a few years ago and its finally here. and well worth the wait. This is a great song that many will know Kate Bush originally sang. Hayley recorded her own version for her album "Pure" and it was released as the 3rd single from that album. Check out the FIRST ever dance mix of a song by Hayley. I totally love it. its very unique and proves how tallented Alexampler is, He usually remixes Enya and you can find his Enya dance mix videos on his Youtube page, or by requesting them i will upload them all as an EP, just let me know!.
