   Really glad you like it ! ;-) 

These are the doumbeks I was talking about..... one 12" and one 8". Note the sax stands (got lots of them) and bottle of gin. ;-) Anyway, with any luck these will make an appearance on the next track, David. The problem is that they've got goat skin heads, so those have to be replaced, and my percussion skills are "very average", thank God for recording, eh ? ;-)

Actually, now you say "Persian Carpet Voyage", I did a track called "The Golden Voyage to Samarkand" which is on the Bandcamp page. It was based around the music in an old 1994 computer game - "Magic Carpet" by Bullfrog. You've got me thinking, why not do a track called "Magic Carpet Ride" ? - obviously not like the Steppenwolf version....... ;-)

	I stopped considering it. I'm not that sad. ;-)

	^ even though it is kit-form I don't expect it would have been easy or straight forward to build. In my experience (I'm an electronics engineer by profession and over the years I have experimented with building various bits of modular synths but never the whole kit and kaboodle), these end up costing as much as a ready-made and never look as good or perform as well.
	What?

	Ah yes, I looked a bit more into it and thought, er, no. ;-))))))) Preview of the next album !! On pre-release at the moment but coming out in early 2015, when the stars are aligned...... 20-25 minute "tribal sounding" title track, extended version of "Set the controls for the heart of the sun" and some vintage sounding psychedelia as well. ;-) https://brotherhoodofthemachine.bandcamp.com/album/aurora

	Ps Doumbeks (above) have a trip out in this one. It's more tribal percussion based. I think I'd be happier being a shaman or witchdoctor or something. Jump about around a fire with a big drum for three days, have a vision, then a big barbecue. Sounds fine to me. ;-)
