Rated 5/5
Review by Josephschembri Aug 09, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Another compilation from the hearth as Volume did. This time brings tracks who's producers have been inspired by magical sites around the world from England and as far as New Zealand! Disc 1 starts with the downtempo “Hill of Shining Beings”, the hill in question is Silbury Hill in Engalnd where ManMadeMan inspired themselves for this track. Next comes Insectoid's “Tribedelic Nomads”, where Aboriginal drumming and insects can be heared. Anubis' “Rites Of Ra” is my favourite. Simon Posford and Chris Deckker (Anubis) sacred site here are the pyramids of Gaza in Egypt.

While disc 1 is a full on psychedelic trip fusing sonic sounds and ritual/ethnic sounds and chants, disc 2 varies from downtempo psi-trance to pure peaceful ambient without a single break or kick. On both discs sound quality is top notch, once again a beautiful packaging and another interesting 74 page booklet which only Volume did.

Very highly recommended indeed!
