Serpents Lair

"The veteran electronic guru Steve Roach teams up with shamanic percussionist Byron Metcalf and numerous other instrumentalists and vocalists to create a sonic panorama of the shamanic experience." - Ambient Visions.Just like the Shamanic initiate who journeys within to find his source of power and transformation - like the Serpent shedding it's skin - in our contemporary society, we too can choose the path of personal transformation. Such is the way of this shamanic lesson. This epic 2-CD set showcases Steve's ultra-soundworlds, hybrid grooves and magical production combined with Byron's acoustic-organic tribal trance. Aligning with themes of shamanic initiation found throughout the world, this disc is rooted in the organic... The earth... The ancestors... and the initiatory energy of focused transformational ritual practice which is integrated into the alchemical fire of psycho-spiritual death and rebirth. For the shamanic initiate, this type of challenge must be faced if one is to "step into" a new relationship to life.
