Tribal Awakenings is inspired by concepts of doorways into other dimensions and communication with inter-dimensional and extraterrestrial consciousness recorded by many ancient tribal cultures including Native Americans, Aboriginees and Mayans. It explores modern scientific theories of tapping into genetic/cellular memory tracing back to our ancient ancestry and our links with the 'Star Beings' that are believed to have originally seeded humanity and encoded a DNA trigger into multi-dimensional consciousness.
The music is an unusual and quirky fusion of alternative ambient and uplifting psychedelic trance, with tribal beats, electric guitar and other more traditional instrumentals including acoustic guitar, 'funny' flutes (midi-horn), Native American recorders, and also features euphoric vocals. The album was engineered by the late Dave Goodman (New Age Radio, and Ex-Producer of the Sex Pistols) and Mouse Studios, with additional engineering by William Lightburn.
Elfin Spiral is a collective of musicians and artists producing alternative and uplifting dance music - where Ambient Trance and Psychedelic Chill Out meets Electric Guitar and Instrumentals.
