Welcome to the middle-east, where new is old, and the old becomes new. Much like an ancient middle-eastern city, technology is fused with old world customs, and in this case, music. Heavy use of the Sitar and bass to create a moody and beautiful soundscape. My recommended track is The Lantern, as it showcases perfectly what this album is about, fusing soft drumming, bongos, electronic rythms, and harp to create a beautiful track. Danger in the skies, fires blooming around every corner, truly you feel lost in parts of the world you have never seen. This album is a market lit by fire in the dark night, as smoke billows towards the expansive sky. Worth listening to in every regard.
