"A change of scenery.
A journey..

A concept EP based on instruments from the Middle East. The compositions are very good and really sound like there! Good themes and melodies. I love these flutes, these unusual string instruments, and these percussions & basslines. It rocks!

Thanks for the peaceful journey! :0)
