Here is a nerv and presence that makes all the different ethnic soundscapes work together and point back to a common origin. Its very beautiful and quite fantastic.
The vocals and pace through the album makes me think om some initiation at midsummer, but I can't decide where in the world that would be. So I also point towards the within!
