Product Description
The Emmy Award winning NBC Special that started a revolution in archeology. Hosted by Charlton Heston and produced by Robert Watts (Star Wars trilogy, Indiana Jones trilogy, etc..) presented geological evidence that the Sphinx is much older than was previously thought, predating the Egyptian civilization by over 7,000 years, raising the possibility that it was not the Egyptians who carved out this legendary sculpture... Atlantis?
Fritz Heede composed music evocative of the ancient civilization of Egypt inspired by artists as diverse as Peter Gabriel, Dead Can Dance, Miklos Roza and Ima Sumac. James J. Hurtak Phd. Phd. (Keys of Enoch) supplied authentic ancient Egyptian chants sung by soprano Heather Douglas (Eastern Music Ensemble, Long Beach Opera).
The opening track "Amen Ra" sets the tone... a ceremony is taking place that leads the listener deep into the underground labrynth of passage ways beneath the Sphinx to a chamber, the "Hall of Records" where the evocation is sung that opens the portal to the twenty four dimensions! The adventure has begun!

Customer Reviews:
Another great CD from Heede.......2004-07-19
Obviously, this music is oriented toward ethnic Egyptian sounds. The quality of the compositions remains every bit as good as with the illuminated Manuscripts CD. There is Heede's usual well done blending of traditional instruments/themes with more modern ones, albeit in a less obvious manner than on the other CD. There are also beautiful Egyptian chants woven into the music. Heather Douglas co-composed four of the ten cuts.
The cuts vary in how traditional they sound, though all are polished and sophisticated. Some feel quite modern, some more traditional or ethnic sounding. The music is mostly low key and reasonably quiet. I didn't find this music as useful for my style of meditation as Illuminated Manuscripts, but it is very nice background music; upbeat and interesting, not too ambient, yet not too demanding of attention. It provides a perfect sonic backdrop for activities such as writing. It would be good for some kinds of massage, yoga, qigong, or other moving-meditation kinds of activities, as well as art making. Some cuts, like track number 8, Aeon Of Horus, might even work for less vigorous styles of bellydancing.
I very much like Heede's style and the quality of the music he releases. If you like light background music with a traditional Egyptian flavor, get this CD.
