Flying Mystics is a power trio based around Peruvian-American super-guitarist Zepi Morelli, flutist extraordinaire Flournoy Holmes, and magic-man percussionist Todd Roderick. Imagine a marriage between Jimmy Hendrix and Brian Eno, with a hint of datura and a kiss of ayahuasca. Band influences range from Amazonian rhythms to Himalayan shamanism, hillside folk to acid rock, with the delivery transported from primordial setting to modern urban aesthetic.

Great music for meditation or yoga, or a quiet evening of love-making. Also wonderful for a gentle party ambiance, three days stuck on an elevator, or simply slipping into the timeless beauty of the simple ecstasy of being. The music is at once esoteric and visionary, while remaining sensually intense and spiritually powerful.

The artists hope that their music also has a healing effect on the individual listener and the world at large. But me? With music this good, who cares? if I can take a copy of this CD with me, I am ready to die today.
