Conceived as a nostalgic tribute to shared influences from another era, this project was developed quasi-conceptually and composed for album continuity.

Milton's Paradise Lost is reimagined as a narrative of primordial emergence, the loss of wisdom and the aquistion of conscience, power, destruction, and disintegration through cosmic dispersion.

Bill Burley: keys, fakery
Arafat Kazi: drums
Josh Cohen: bass
Koushik Chakrabarty: tabla
Samin Al Sabah: vox

Thank you Arafat, Josh, Samin, and Koushik. You vastly improved the meager early sketches and elevated the music. I learned from each of your unique artistries and am honored by your participation. It wouldn't have happened without you.

THANK YOU
