From the new album 'Visions of Tibet'

Inspired by the very distinctive culture and music of Tibet. The pure sounds of singing bowls and temple bells are joined by the raw power of the Dong - Chen (Tibetan Horn). 

Powerful rhythms, chanting monks and a rich tapestry of ethnic and electronic sounds take you on a journey deep into the heart of Tibet.

INITIATION short version

The Brigand's song (‪Cântec haiducesc‬) is a traditional Romanian song with music by Phil Thornton
about the lyrics -
"Arde-mi-te-ai" is an exclamation that cannot be translated exactly, it's somewhat melancolical. The singer is addressing himself to the woods, speaking to them. "Ardemiteai, codru des" ......exclamation - thick forest, you can see, it's been decided, that I would not find my way out of you.." That's the first verse. The second verse says c-am intrat copil blajin, s-Acuma-s mosneag batran. "I went inside as a young boy, and now, now I am an old man.." It talks about the love for the forest.
