Enki

ENKI (1999)

"Enki is a theme, a beautiful collection of stories based on a sci-fi interpretation of ancient Sumerian religion. Imagine the beginning of the world not as an evolution over millions of years, or a creation that lasted six days, but a creation by beings of another planet. Beings seen in the eyes of early civilization as gods. A race so advanced that they had robots guard such fantastic places like the Garden of Eden. This is the idea behind Enki. The music on this album is good. Lorin has really laid down some ear candy for anyone who enjoys songwriting and structure. Enki moves from many musical themes, dabbling with Asian rhythms and instrument sound to competent workings with industrial ambience. The music is very reminiscent of a Tangerine Dream soundtrack piece coupled with just about any early 90's pop song. Lorin's own crooning voice is strikingly familiar to Wolfgang Thums (check out Cleen's Second Path to see what I mean). Overall, Enki is a very peaceful and pleasant work. The production is absolutely top notch."-Mirage Tropics V2 2000- Reviewer.AFEKDEAD
