Goddess-oriented group Desert Wind directs their focus on one specific deity this time around -"Gaia." Also known as the "Earth Goddess" or "Mother Earth," Gaia evokes a deep love for the planet, inspiring humans to live in harmony with nature. This album, produced by Alan Scott Bachman, is a collection of mid to upper tempo dance tracks designed for celebration and ritualistic purposes. A majority of the tracks are instrumental, employing a potent pop-friendly mix of percussion, synthesizers, keyboards and flutes. The two vocal tracks, "Gaia, Earth Goddess" and "Misirlou," feature the crystalline vocals of Kristin Gygi. Other highlights include "The Veil," an exotic take on Pachelbel's "Canon in D," and "Osiris," an enchanting number that blends lush rhythms with mystifying panflute melodies.
