:::: a note from the producer
"This project is designed so that DJs can infect their dancefloors and/or radio stations with a bit of Hip-Gnosis by dropping select tracks that are the most worth of their formats into thier playlists. Also, this is designed in such a manner that while an overall upbeat tempo is maintained, there are a few introductory, concluding, and intermission tracks which assist in maintaining the overall 'feel' of the project. The theme is designed so that those who are drawn to do so, as I often do when experiencing new music to it's fullest, can put your headphones on, lay down and get comfortable, clear your mind, close your eyes, and let us take you on a journey. This journey can best be described as if you could leave the modern world and your current life behind and escape into the Ancient Near East, the Cradle of Civilization, also known as The Fertile Crescent. This is the region known as ancient Sumeria, Mesopotamia, Babylonia and it's neighbor Egypt. This region is the same which is now filled with turmoil as Iraq is working to overcome it's current feudalism. With everything that has gone on in this region in current times I thought this would be a good opportunity for us to review the richness of it's history and our own origins as this region can be traced as the origin of all humanity on the planet. The musical range is from Dark Ambient to EBM and is mostly upbeat even though trancey at times. However, it maintains a heavy influence from Darkwave as well and we've included many clubworthy tracks that I'm sure everyone will enjoy."
