Perfect, coming in a set not long after Jethro Tull's magical, "Up to Me" -- and it reminds me just how sensual, how enchanting, how trippy the flute can be!



I agree, the flute can make such haunting, sensual sounds.

Such a cool track. Never gets old.

This was someone else's review: A hidden gem of the world of psychedelia I stumbled upon this CD purely by accident. Listened to it a few times and thought, well, this is interesting, but it wasnt until I slapped it on during a particularly fierce mushroom trip that I really GOT it. I have a good older audiophile quality system, and in a dark room with the volume plentiful, I moved around INSIDE of the music on this album, and was awestruck. It is fully obvious to me that this album was crafted specifically to lead one through a trip, with tension and release, fear and comforting, sadness and resolution, in waves coming with the different songs. Absolutely a masterpiece when viewed in this light, and heartily recommended for that special experience. These guys knew what they were doing, and did it well. Check it out under psychedelic influence, and see if you dont agree. Masterful, touching, beautiful, and intense. Happy trails!



Happy trails, indeed! ; )

with a few more strange sounds and some obscure lyrics this could be a Shpongle tune.

Total agreement here, CoJo - hell I'll go 7→8 now...and hopefully BillG will play this again when I'm not at work (i.e. after an attitude/altitude adjustment, eh?)

I rated this one a 6 originally, and hearing it again, I realize why I don't have it at 7 or higher....a bit repetitive until the jungle safarai and flute section chimes in...oh heck, I really like it...i'll go to a 7 on this one.
My next question is: where does BillG find all this great old and new music?!?

Can I just add that the Supperclub used to be a fine eating/playing establishment. Mrs Poacher took me there when we were courting for a very memorable evening in Amsterdam quite a few years ago. Anyone who has been there will know how excellent a place it was in its early days.

Also, don't forget predecessors such as Enigma. The beat here is nearly identical to a track of theirs from 1994.

 
These guys were probably influenced by Enigma, but this "beat" or rhythm track was more likely borrowed from or flavored by some "exotica" tune by Martin Denny or Les Baxter, from the 1950s.  Nice groove.

Cool track. The Amazon reviews (what few there are) are mixed- a couple people's favorite album, especially in the UK; someone else thought the tunes with vocals were diva-esque and over the top. Anyone else heard the whole album?
