Let’s take a trip to the East of The River Ganges… The Kumba Mela Experiment is striking at the first encounter.

This spiritual and melodic piece of art is a unique collection of timeless sounds that manifest and commemorate the holiness of the Kumba Mela gathering, the biggest human gathering on earth. The Mela takes place every four years. Every twelve years is the Maha Kumba Mela, with millions of Sadus and Naga Babas that come to give Puja and bathe in the sacred waters, awaiting The Akara.

The samples here were well chosen, some authentic and part from Jamaican reggae, ensuring that this is an unforgettable “all senses” journey. The album manages to project a peaceful vibe of love and unity. A creation imbedded with a handful of moments where those tensions become achieved widespread.

 

Youth, who is in charge of this project, has chosen Alex Paterson (The Orb), as well as an impressive lineup of participating guest artists, to create this 'one of a kind' project. A collaboration between the credible members of Dub Trees, Suns Of Arqa, Tangerine Dream, Dreadzone and the international psychic Uri Geller. Each one comes with his background and musical direction, each is heard and has a role that thickens and adds an extra dimension to the production. Without any attempt to be flattering, this project is a reliable one.

This respectable assembly is guided by Youth, who is responsible for the production and most of the tracks.

The services of the mega sound engineer and studio man Yoad Nevo were used on The Kumba Mela (Himalayan Dub) and Interstellar Hiss (Sky Is On Fire Dub). A perfect mix of rolling sequences, electronic percussions and ethnic vocals. The album is enthralling and in many ways invigorating. The Dichotomy of the chapters in the album has a guided chronicle that deliver the principal of the theme.

‘East of the River Ganges’ is a millstone in the genre.

Celtic Cross is a saga created by Simon Posford of Hallucinogen together with Saul Davis and Martin Glover. Saul Davis is known from James, and his work with Mark Hunter on Watershed. Martin Glover from The Orb arrives this project after previous work with Blue Pearl, Adam Ant and Ben Watkins.

This collaboration was produced by Youth and Simon Posford.

‘Hicksville’ is a wonderful journey through electronic music. If you like Shpongle, you ought to listen to this album as well. The album gets its grip with its ethnic direction and Celtic ambiance. The mysterious atmosphere plays a role here, like on the fantastic ‘Jade Garden’ and ‘Khatmandu’, one of the peaks of the album. The wand of Simon Posford is felt throughout the production.

 

I stumbled upon the philosopher's stone. I had the veil of illusion pulled back & was confronted by the many levels of energy & many realms of consciousness which are available to men. I opened a pandora box of multiple realities.

This is one of the quotes here by Timothy Leary and the American avant-garde novelist William S. Burroughs.

 

Celtic Cross was defined as “distinctly atmospehric, a journey of enlightenmeant, the definitive navigational map for inner and outer cosmic exploration…”

 

In order to appreciate this CD, you ought to listen in a high quality sound system - maximum pleasure guaranteed..!

 

'Oh my god, are we EVER in Hicksville' ……..

[Guest D N H]

it has been a while without an avatar "recovery" of an old diamond lost in the dust of time, hasn't it?

excepting the retrodelic comp. sequel, the last one was ava037 hux flux cryptic crunch back in 2006.

 

after nearly 3 years "we are finally in hicksville".

 

avatar deserves deep regard for making available again classic creations of the scene and thus providing the ability to anyone to obtain them at a normal price plus with an improved sound, as well for producing some worthy trance releases.

 

respect and wishes for a generative flow.
