LYRICS:
Deep into the velvet darkness and into the night
and into the night, we dive
seep into the self the heart is a glimmering light
a glimmering light, alive

Glowing through the ashes and embers a glimmering light
a glimmering light, we rise
Flowing wind that catches the feathers and into the night
and into the night, we fly

Dive into the core
reach for something more
spread your wings and soar
phoenix be reborn

Knowing the rebirth that awaits us with promise of life
with promise of life, we die
growing from the sorrow that chains us the truth is in sight
with all of our might, we cry

Dive into the core
reach for something more
spread you wings and soar
phoenix be reborn

From the embers glows a golden light a phoenix rise from within
we remember open up those eyes leave behind the place we have been
burning splendor as our souls ignite, ascendance now we begin
from the embers glows a golden light...

Afro Celt Sound System - Hypnotica [Pete Ardron Remix]

Something I did way back in 2004. I heard a Dj play this in San Diego while I was in the crowd, That's always such a cool feeling when that happens

Afro Celt Sound System - Persistence Of Memory

Track taken from the album '30 - Real World At WOMAD' -

30 Real World at WOMAD is part of the Real World Gold series that's unearthed classic recordings from the label's vaults. And what treasure is being dusted off. Peter's quite correct when he talks of "so many of the world's great artists" passing through both organisations. From Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan to Afro Celt Sound System, Papa Wemba to the Blind Boys of Alabama, there have been so many fantastic records, so many unforgettable performances.

Track taken form the album "Afro Celt Sound System – Volume 1: Sound Magic".  This album is now available as part of the Real World Gold series - http://realworldrecords.com/gold

From the moment they first informally congregated at the third and final Real World Recording Week in 1995, it was clear that the group of European and West African musicians who would later answer to the name Afro Celt Sound System would become one of Real World’s totemic acts who embodied the label’s border-less, restriction-free ways. When originally released in 1996, Sound Magic was a revelation, one that spliced together music from different continents, different traditions, different times, without losing a thing in translation. 
“An eye-opening, uplifting, musically innovative creation, a real all-rounder full of perpetual surprise” – Hot Press


Afro Celt Sound System - Whirl-Y (Real World Gold)

Track taken from their album "Volume 2: Release ".  This album is now available as part of the Real World Gold series - http://realworldrecords.com/gold

After the first record’s six-figure sales, this was the moment that the open-armed collaboration truly became a band, a statement of unity and purpose to prove that Sound Magic was no one-off. At turns driving and pensive, joyful and melancholic, Release offered further confirmation that Celtic stringed instruments and African percussion were the most natural of bedfellows, soaring and swooping as one. And that, for that matter, there was nothing wrong with old-as-the-hills musical traditions being turbo-charged by the latest sounds from the clubs. Sinead O’Connor and Youth are among the special guests.
“It’s like a hurricane let loose ... the spontaneity, the mix of ancient and modern, the black and white, the fluidity and breathless glee” – Q



Afro Celt Sound System - Release (Real World Gold)

I put this together for St. Patrick's Day back in 2009 or so using my own recorded tracks and a sample of the original drum track (to make up for my lack of household percussion instruments).  It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun!

Since then, I've acquired many instruments, and learned many things — except how to play keyboard: https://youtu.be/8PeaamXL24k

2003's Seed marked out some clearly defined territory for one of Real World's totemic outfits. Now less reliant on beats and samples, the team put more stock in real instruments, a move born out of their experiences of playing live together.
