Rated 5/5
Review by bolle88 Oct 30, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
I was lucky to visit the legendary Cisco Records-shop in Tokyo just a couple of weeks after this magical masterpiece had been re-released. So I bought it without any hesitation.
In the booklet Adham tells us about where he found the inspiration for this cd - his trip to India (hence the title of the album). And this cd truely is a 'journey to the sun', a very surreal one though... Oh if I could just describe the beautiful imaginary landscapes that comes up to my mind when listening to "journey to the sun" or "infinite emanation"!
The other longer tracks: "emergence", "liquid evolution" and "zero g" are definately not worse than the others. All of these five mentioned tracks are absolutely stunning! Amazing! Incredible!
Listen to this music loud in some high-quality headphones and you will get so hypnotized that you just have to listen to the cd one more time. Perhaps the most hypnotic album I know, and one of the best ambient albums I know together with Solar Quest - Orsghip, FSOL - Lifeforms and some Dakini Records-albums... Recommended to any open-minded music lover who likes to get seriously lost in his/her music!
