Reviews & Discussion
"We have sold our soul for a little capital". That's one of many statements uttered from the legendary artist Alex Grey. Worldspirit is a great package with a DVD and a CD. The CD holds the soundtrack for the DVD, which holds the performance of Alex Grey and his family featuring Kenji Williams (ABA Structure). A marvellous musical and inspiring act, indeed. It blends into the ever ambitious words of Alex Gray as he guides us through a journey of philosophical (and religious) transcendence of what "we have become" in the US, under the great tree of Gaia. (As illustrated by Alex Grey) From copulation to birth, evolving of consciousness, realization, transcendence, love and respect through death, and the ever search for Nirvana. Shedding yourself of illusions, needs and fears along the way to the ultimate salvation. Check it out.
