 The mysterious pseudonym remains, in this, the second release in the Taste of Ra trilogy. The accompanying information describes the music as such: "When your ears are gates and they're wide open. Levels of sound will chase you down, collide, kiss and fight. In the yard that you now found; The past will meet the present, you're paying past with present. When you finally hear her voice that makes you leave your body behind and meet as gods...Sound will evolve and something that was once heard by the keeper of the horizon is now heard by you." The familiar song titles on this record imply that this is a stylistic continuation of the first album's cryptic new-folk experimentation. One hopes for further promise of pastoral Swedish psych weirdness, acoustic tranquility and harmonium drones topped by a troubadour's trilling howl, that served to put Banhart and Chasny to shame.

- This is the second release in the Taste of Ra trilogy.
- (on HAPNA 023CD): "...it stands among his best work and should end up one of the finest of psych-folk records this year." --Dusted Magazine
- (on HAPNA 023CD): "Imagine a soundtrack to Siddhartha composed and recorded in 1968 at 'Big Pink' in Woodstock by Morrison and the Incredible String Band, and you have a sense of this wonderful album." --Neumu
- (on HAPNA 023CD): "...a continuous tapestry occupying the same timbres of space and atmosphere, passing by like a dream conducted by the ghosts of Tim Buckley and son."
