Great Song, Michael! Your music has the mystery of Ancient Egypt brought to life with superior percussion, flutes, and other instrumentation. This was one of the Best of the Best for the CBC AE Song Challenge. Thank you for the dl to our JBBQ Music Station.

Strange exotic melodies - outlandish instruments - wild polyrhythms - this conveys the mysticism and power of the ancient civilization so well, MD! Great visual, very thoughtful piece and produced to perfection as always - nice work!

This is a marvelous demonstration of your musical genius! It sounds as if you grew up in Egypt instead of southern California! Master of the phrygian scale composition!

Great Egyptian sounds of the theme! I visualized seeing lady's of the night waiting to be chosen. Without music like this, the pyramids wouldn't have been built! Nice work.

Really nice egyptian vibes on this one, Michael. I especially like the percussion. Very well done. The deep bass tones and high pitched flutes, create a very open, mesmerizing musical landscape. Great stuff

Absolutely right described by you Mike, this is a veritable soundtrack!!
Just like Jude noticed, "feline" melody indeed!! Yes, great composition and production with so many original instruments, liked particularly the percussions: enjoyed this one really much!! Well done Mike.

Another epic tune from the illustrious Mike D!! An ancient and mysterious past evoked from this interpretation of the ancient land of the Pharaohs!

Enchanting, mystical and mysterious. I was totally captivated by the story behind this track, I had never heard about it before, fascinating stuff! Really enjoyed the track, beautifully composed and authentically Egyptian in style.

I like the mysteries here and the organic, human way of playing the percussions.
The mood is very strong and Egyptian. I feel the sun burning and see sand and stones everywhere in a sea of light.
There is such a special interaction in between the instruments. Yes "interweaving melodies" like Al says.
A nice surprise this evening.
