This album is a marriage of moments and time. I was discovered as the fire died out and there was nothing but the wind Blowing On The Coals. I was Waiting For A Miracle by the gates of Jericho, the times were quiet times, but Relatively Speaking there is a war. The river was Running Dry, and I was lifting my hands up in prayer saying Henaini, here I am. How can I enter the Promised Land, when my hands are full of Bribes and I am surrounded by Modern Idols? I heard about a time where prophets spoke of souls returning, and I wondered if We Are The Prophecy. I weighed my thoughts and actions Measure For Measure and I began to feel Kedusha from above.
I am grateful to have arrived at this point, through a small effort on my part, and a great investment and undertaking by Barry, a commitment of love and effort by Karen, enlisting the inspired talents of my good friend and partner Neil, all of the magicians who added their special magic to these songs of mine, which are now yours to listen to. To the family at Phase One including Mike and Donny, and also Vic, who added their own special spices, and to my family at home, my wonderful parents and brothers, who have always given so much.
And as I stand here two years later, and look at this round disc that contains so many oceans and faces and smiles, and fires and storms, and relationships, and bonds that are seen and that are unseen, it's hard to express my thoughts and my emotions. It may just be songs on a CD to some, but to me it invokes a special time in my life, and a certain mood comes over me. A Mystical Mood.
- Ron Wiseman
"Mystical Mood", Ron's first full length CD delivers catchy, commercial, pop melodies merged with a thinking person's poetic lyrics. We call it Biblical Reggae - words and stories inspired by the Old Testament combined with modern Reggae rhythms and sounds. All melodically presented.
One listen will convince you something a little different is happening here. And if you believe, as I do, that today's popular music could benefit from an infusion of intelligent, well crafted songs, then this CD should readily fit the bill.

Notes
Alone, I am able to reach only so far, but with the help of heaven above, my good friends below, my ancestors before me, and those to come, I thank you all for teaching me the lessons of appreciation. For now I am less than I was before, and more than I could ever be.

Reviews
You say you're looking for the next big "I'm falling in love, baby baby", or "Can't live without you" CD?If that's the case, you may want to keep looking since this new album by Ron Wiseman is probably not for you.
"Mystical Mood", Ron's first full length CD delivers catchy, commercial, pop melodies merged with a thinking person's poetic lyrics. We call it Biblical Reggae - words and stories inspired by the Old Testament combined with modern Reggae rhythms and sounds. All melodically presented.
One listen will convince you something a little different is happening here. And if you believe, as I do, that today's popular music could benefit from an infusion of intelligent, well crafted songs, then this CD should readily fit the bill.
