Warming up on the studio Weinbach in preparation for intense recording sessions in 1990. The title was inspired by the motif. A few months later, Operation Desert Storm was launched, reminding us where sibling rivalry began on earth!

Sumeria

Rescued from analog oblivion (thanks to a RM75 USB cassette-to-mp3 device), this recording on 4-track cassette dates back to the early 1990s when Rafique Rashid was living in a KKB shophouse. Raf wrote this number & played lead guitar, bass & drum machine, with Antares on wooden Balinese flute & Julian Mokhtar on second lead guitar.
