The 4 Elements

All things in the Universe are combination of matter and mind. The matter consists of four elements: Earth, Fire, Air and Water. All animals, plants, stones, emotions, inanimate objects, and energies are combinations of these elements. Everything has its own unique blend of the four elements in it: everything that has substance has earth in it; everything that has energy in it has fire; everything that flows and/or has feelings has water; and everything that involves sound, thinking, or communication has air in it.

This album includes 3 new and 3 remastered tracks from an earlier release OBE (Out of Body Experience) plus the track Water released previously as a single. Videoclip of AIR - Kalimba solo can be watched here.

Kora samples in the track Earth by the master Kora player Mamadou Diabate; balafon sounds by Bala Kouyaté.

Santoor samples in Water by multi-instrumentalist and singer Manish Vyas.

Kanun samples in OBE#2 by Hakan Güngör.

Cedar flute sounds in OBE#3 by David R. Maracle.

There's slight distortion on picks due to overcompression in some tracks, however the FLAC version is clean and dynamics are much better.

The audio quality of music offered on Jamendo in best case reaches 190 kbps, which is quite reasonable for evaluational purposes but definitely not enough to experience the richness of original sound (1411 kbps). If you'd like to feel how this music sounds for real you can obtain a lossless FLAC version of this album on my website.
