Steppe

A unique environment indeed, from what I understand. The track from the start seems to capture an essence of how I imagine it to be. What comes to mind is living in half-buried, smoke-filled hides and the swift passage of small horses bearing formidable riders. Some places carry a certain sense of spirit and the steppes, is one of those particular places. More closely integrated with the natural progression of such an atmosphere, the inhabitants therein were likely to be more in touch with their own selves and proved the veracity of human adaptability. I love this historical perspective, one that has always appealed. The spirit being the one thing not susceptible to erosion. Here treated in the form of a delicate sound construction, with an aspect of resilience.

Large expanses of vision, feelings of breeze and winds from distant stars swooping down on the plains . . . a grandness of scope, yet a smallness of feeling . .. passionless and nearly freezing but perfectly peaceful and healing. A place to go and find solace and calmness . . . to put perspective in the imaginings of the soul.

Another fine album by Doc and Lena. Very peaceful and relaxing, a rendition I suppose of the Steppe in spring rather than the wildness of winter.
A must for ambient fans. There may not be so many of us but we do appreciate a fine album.
I highly recommend their album Sphinx also.

i can almost feel the nature of the steppes,the very essence of a place none of us will see.to translate the audio into a vision and in that dream we too can experience the steppes.
