Amazing and hypnotic sounds derived from strange sources transports the listener from the more familiar terrestrial abodes into deep and distant locales beyond the realms of imagination. Words don’t do this astounding compilation justice so please, use the appropriate headphones/speakers for proper delivery of sound and sit back, close your eyes and allow the corporeal frame to surrender as the astral body leaves its prison-like confines for a journey beyond dimensions indescribable.
