Album Notes & Community Reviews

Merging Krautrock sensibilities with deep Eastern spiritualism, this international collective crafted a pioneering work of early new age and tribal ambient music. Featuring the overtone singing of Roberto Laneri, the completely acoustic project relies on sustained drones and minimalist percussion to induce a state of profound meditation.
