Imagine yourself lost in the deserts of the Sudan. The wind blows strong, unrelentless in your ears as if singing the sounds of a wailing flute.
Bio / Background
I started with a theme: loss, searching, and discovery. These themes at the time were connected to my feelings about the loss of a good friend, Gerry Hall, the questions I had about the meaning of life, and even my pursuit of a musical career. Was this where I wanted to be? Part of me felt that I didn't belong here in the belly dancing community, but something was keeping me there, for now. These ideas developed into The Gathering Season. Gathering-meaning everyone and everything coming together, whether it is a nation in unity or family. The tracks "Huda", "Qabil", and "Hujayni" reflect this idea. "Harvest Moon" reflects the meaning of Season, a celebration of the coming harvest.
Released in the Summer of 1998, I wanted the listener's journey to begin with the ominous "Paradise Lost", which is symbolized by the brooding minimal string arrangements and heavy percussion to lend to the disparity and emptiness of the song.

Solace is one of the best Middle Eastern fusion groups around, and this is one of their best albums. It is a MUST-OWN for bellydancers and ME music enthusiasts.
