DUNEWAVE: ODYSSEY - CD DIGIPACK

Love this CD Akira did a great job with this. Would recommend buying. Also it did take a while before it shipped at least 1 month but it has been worth it.

Akira's Best and Most Timely Work - I'm Blown Away

First, the album artwork is stunning. Beautifully evocative of Frank Herbert's Dune, you get actual physical media that will be immune to censorious tampering down the road. Pick up a CD. First a word about his vocalist. Danika XIX makes this album. She strikes just the right persona for this effort. On "My Golden Path" When she speaks "When I set out to lead humankind along my Golden Path, I promised them a lesson their BONES would remember..." If you don't get a little chill, check your pulse right quick. The first song had me. In addition to being uplifting sound, "Bene Gesserit Benediction" must be the most concise but proper statement of Stoic philosophy I know: "We possess no more than this moment...that we share, and create..." All while standing in "the Sacred Human Presence." These are the same simple insights that drove the slave Epictetus and the Emperor Aurelius. Memento Mori, and Amor Fati. You can leave this life now, so you must ACT. If, in October/November of 2023, you can listen to "Reservoir of Hate" and not understand more about your world and how others of completely distinct cultures and worldviews see it, you should listen until you do. In "The Wise Man and the Fool," we learn that the "Wise Man molds himself, the Fool lives only to die..." In other words..."Impediment to action inspires action, what stands in in the way, becomes the way." Hear them again? Akira the Don's best work, in my view. And he's album after album of excellent work. I don't know what has caused this recent step in his evolution. But I am most thankful for it. His music fortifies me in challenging times, and it is my sincere hope it can do the same for you. Do yourself a favor. Give it a listen.

Dunewave in the car!

Great CD! I play it in my car during my daily commute. It comes with a booklet with all the powerful lyrics. "TRUST NO GOVERNMENT" "NEVER SUPPORT WEAKNESS" "THE SLEEPER MUST AWAKEN" Akira makes transcended beats. I prebought the album and love it. Money well spent!
