	Book & CD now available at Ogden Park More info & clips at Tuber Creations
Artist: Chemystry Set Title: Dancing on the Brink of the World UPC#: 795201101426 TC-06, 2009, File under "Music" Ogden Park in collaboration with Tuber Creations Dancing on the Brink of the World is the companion CD to the book by the same name written by Sven Eberlein, featuring a song cycle through the signs of the zodiac, plus two bonus tracks. Weaving moments of pure Rush-like rock ‘n’ roll ecstasy into a tapestry of deeper reflective soundscapes that echo a darker side of the moon, Dancing on the Brink of the World is so much more than a random collection of songs. Each song has very distinct influences, yet none permeate the project throughout. On their 6th album, Chemystry Set has come full cycle, pouring a vast reservoir of influences ranging from world rhythm, jazz, and groove to bluegrass, fusion, progressive rock, and punk into a sea of archetypes that take the listener from leisurely swims to adventurous dives. It is, as the band’s name, a leap into not knowing; and it is, as the subject matter of the CD, a mixture of the essence of every person in the world uniting in harmony. Artwork by Evelyn Terranova. Produced by Dickie Ogden. Sven Eberlein - Guitars & Vocals Dickie Ogden - Drums & Vocals Patty Hughes - Wurlitzer Piano, Farfisa Organ, Phil's Organ & Vocals Baba Ndjhoni - Bass, Mandolin, Ukulele & Vocals Special guests: Joel Oppenheimer - Extra Bass Steven Forrest - astro talk “Dancing on the Brink of the World presents Chemystry Set in the presence of brilliant minds, graspable concepts, and a plethora of creativity.” - muzikreviews.com “Dancing on the Brink of the World is an intriguing dive into the metaphysical, highly recommended.” - Midwest Book Review

Artist: Chemystry Set Title: Cobblestone Below My Feet UPC#: 795201100429 TC-05, 2006. File under "Music" Ogden Park in collaboration with Tuber Creations Produced by Dickie Ogden and the Set, Chemystry Set's fifth CD, Cobblestone Below My Feet, ferments three years of travel, storytelling, friendships, and recording magic into a rich and highly intoxicating elixir. On their fifth release, the band that has made a name for itself over the last ten years with boundary-defying music and message-driven songs is coming of age in this beautifully dynamic tapestry of tightly-arranged and rockin' compositions. Written during and after their 2003 European tour, Cobblestone Below My Feet is an invitation across language, culture, and consciousness. Like a carriage ride through history, hitting the cobblestone with an amalgam of sounds and an ever-fresh poetic luminescence, this album takes the listener into another time zone, all along establishing connections not only to the present, but the future of humanity. With special guest appearances on Zydeconco Stomp by The Flux' Joe Balestreri on trumpet and Dan Heffez on Alto Sax. Horn arrangements by Research & Development's Nathaniel Hawkes and Baba Ndjhoni. Photography by Debra Baida Sven Eberlein - Guitar, Vocals Dickie Ogden - Drums, Gong, Vocals Patty Hughes - Wurlitzer Electric Piano, Farfisa Organ, Vocals Joel Oppenheimer - Bass Baba Ndjhoni - Mandolin, Ukelele, Vocals At this particular moment in time, when it feels like we live in an age where optimism is a rare commodity, Chemystry Set is here to remind us that itıs not too late, that there are still ways to improve things, and that you really can draw life-changing inspiration from music that genuinely matters. Yes, it really is as simple as that. Buy the album and see for yourself. - Scott Coldren Full Review Cobblestone Below My Feet has a great communal feel to it. It is boldly genre-crossing and yields new discoveries with repeat listens. More - Chip Withrow, The Muse's Muse Cobblestone Below My Feet is a kick-butt extravaganza of expectations-defying, post-modern wonder. The louder it gets, the better it gets. - Steven Forrest, Seven Paws Press Perhaps many American people will think “where the hell is Esslingen or Stuttgart, what on earth is Reinheitsgebot...?” but these are absolutely great ideas and bring the continents a little bit more near together. - Roy Jung, Germany
Live at the Sweatlodge - 2004
	Buy this CD!
Artist: Chemystry Set Title: Live at the Sweatlodge UPC#: 795201100924 TC-04, 2004. File under "Music" Ogden Park in collaboration with Tuber Creations A high quality multitrack celebration and documentation of the final show on Chemystry Set's Pacific Northwest tour 2004. 80 minutes of music. It was an intimate semi-private party with open bar. The half-keg kicked right when the band finished! Good partying everyone! Rock, bluegrass, world influences, sometimes progish, groovy, 3 part vocals. Totally rocks. Sven Eberlein - Electric Guitar, Vocals Dickie Ogden - Drum Kit Patty Hughes - Wurlitzer Electric Piano, Vocals Joel Oppenheimer - Bass Baba Ndjhoni - Electric Mandolin, Ukelele, Vocals Every time I hear Chemystry Set I feel like I'm hearing it for the first time: musicianship tight as an atom, music wild and roaming as the imagination of the unknown. It's like everything and nothing I've ever heard, a screaming reminder that rock is rebellion and must be reinvented each time it's played, or else it's just pop. - Randy Lyman Full Review

Artist: Chemystry Set Title: The Last Real Experience UPC#: 65905798192 TC-03, 2003, File under "Music" Ogden Park in collaboration with Tuber Creations Birthed by the ever-present spontaneous combustions of all that is Chemystry, and produced under the auspices of Dickie Ogden (Dr. Dickie), this third incarnation in the underground trilogy is probably the most refined and momentous creation in the Set's storied journey. Leaving more room for each song to breathe, the Set's ever evolving musicianship shines through the brilliant dynamics, giving more meaning to the album's daring arrangements and twists. And should you wonder about the implications of the album title, turn your attention to that most treasured and ancient wisdom, found between all lines and within yourself: The end is the beginning, be here now! Sven Eberlein - Electric Guitar, Vocals Dickie Ogden - Drum Kit, Vocals Patty Hughes - Wurlitzer Electric Piano, Vocals Joel Oppenheimer - Bass Baba Ndjhoni - Electric Mandolin, Vocals The Last Real Experience is fun, intriguing listening and a highly recommended purchase. It surprises me with new details every time I listen. - Steve Ekblad - Audiogrid.com Full Review
