Phil Thornton is a master of the synthesizer. Never has that been more evident than on PHARAOH. Timeless, mysterious and empowering, PHARAOH is moving and adventurous. Beginning with "Procession to the Centre of the Pyramid," you enter the exotic world of ancient Egypt. Sultry rhythms provide an earthly sensuality with bells, rainsticks and Tibetan horn. Throughout this recording, the Middle Eastern instrumentation and rhythms are joined by keyboards allowing you to relax into a trance-like state. PHARAOH provides a glimpse into the past with shimmering images of a regal culture.
