Sweeping melodies and an adventurous bass line contribute to this song’s exploratory mood. Let the vibe flow and energize this moment.
You can listen to the melody for free, in good quality, on BandCamp, which is one of the best websites when it comes to supporting artists. You can also purchase the song (or album) from this same location.

With its stellar opening and hypnotic buildup spanning more than a minute, Narayan makes a statement: this songwill endure. And it has. 20 years later, this massive creation hasn’t lost any bit of its originality.
It’s a lengthy tune, to be sure, but there are several movements at play that will keep the listener entertained throughout. This song is a must for any respectable music collection and, in fact, a distinguished artifact of human musical history.
Om Namo Narayana!
“If you believe the western sun is falling down on everyone
If you’re breaking free and the morning’s come
If you would know your time has come
If you believe the western sun is falling down on everyone
If you’re feeling firm, then I’ll travel on
If you feel it burn, your time has come
And I feel it
You feel another energy and I feel a power growing

From the mysterious whispers to the crashing choirs, from the delicate bells to the shattering strength of the vocal delivery, this is an amazing journey of a song. It’s not only a musical masterpiece, but a lyrical one as well. Few songs manage to convey a mystical experience as well as this one.
It comes with a pretty daring video too. In this day and age, such images can easily be called sexually objectifying (towards women), but given that this is almost 20 years ago, I choose to value it for its challenging, somewhat anti-Christian symbolism. To be clear, I am not against any religion, but I do consider that challenging established norms can result in constructive intellectual experiences.
This is one of the very few songs that I can call “100 out of 100”.
“Turn around and smell what you don’t see
Close your eyes … it is so clear
Here’s the mirror, behind there is a screen
On both ways you can get in
Don’t think twice before you listen to your heart
Follow the trace for a new start
What you need and everything you’ll feel
Is just a question of the deal
In the eye of storm you’ll see a lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
To the gravity of love
“O Fortuna velut Luna”
Woman:
The path of excess leads
to the tower of Wisdom
Man:
The path of excess leads
to the tower of Wisdom
Try to think about it
That’s the chance to live your life
And discover what it is
What’s the gravity of love”
Unfortunately, I can’t find any way of purchasing the album digitally from any ethical shop (such as BandCamp).

This song’s first 30 seconds are among the most beautiful beginnings for a mental journey I know of. It’s almost like it’s begging the listener to close their eyes and begin the trip. There are some very solid rhythms here and beware the wild guitar on the prowl.
The female element is present in all its mysterious sensuality, perhaps a bit over the top at times (although if the song is perceived through a mystical veil, this becomes a boon). Let your mind float on the echoes of Enigma.

This is what happens when two psybient titans collaborate. This song is chilled-out and in the same time body-moving. Behind this multilayered masterpiece there is a distinct mystical feeling, so… here’s a little magic to bless the week with.
I’ve featured both Desert Dwellers and Kalya Scintilla before and if you like what you hear, make sure you check Bluetech and Kaminanda out as well. Good listening gear, eyes closed highly recommended.
You can listen to the song for free, in good quality, on BandCamp, which is one of the best websites when it comes to supporting artists. You can also purchase the song (or album) from this same location. And in case you’re wondering, yes, I did purchase Kalya Scintilla’s album :).
