"SIZZLING AND SNAZZY... GREAT FOR REVERIE."

This presentation compiles older tracks individually penned by the artists in such a way that they document a 
complete mystical journey to a metaphoric Mecca of the mind.  On “Pegasus,” light and lively guitar strains 
accented by sizzling synthesizer, snazzy percussion and hypnotic sacred poetry make Hisham’s music 
irresistibly enchanting.  The more upbeat “Pioneers” by Mars Lasar and Winslow Crockwell is a refreshing 
rhythmic excursion fueled by wordless choral vocals, beautifully bent chording and spicy keyboard noodling that 
blends jazz and Middle Eastern styles seamlessly.  Ambient-trance aficionados will savor the sonorous 
spaciousness of Ayman’s “Night Traveler,” with its soaring and nee-like elements, and deliciously dramatic and 
deviously dark electronic hues.  Other tracks offer plenty of pomp and majesty for those desirous of seeping into 
symphonic sand dances and emerging - re-energized and renewed - into an ecstatic oasis of sound.  Great for 
reverie.
