"This cd took me quite by surprise when I first played it. I first heard of Imhotep from Cheb Mami song "Parisian du Nord". Upon further investigation found out about Iam. Since I love MC Solaar I thought I give this one a try. It isn't a hip-hop cd and goes along more with the likes of Digital Bled. Atmospheric grooves blended with the music and sounds of North Africa. It's sweet Cd that will remind one of a quiet Moroccan night whether it be in the desert or in a small coastal town."
Hiphop chillout ambient? Worked out pretty good!

"This album does take its time to get under your skin, but then it's a seemingly endless joy - you can play it on and on and each time you'll discover new sounds and layers.
If I was to put it real blunt, this album is like Enigma (sic!) meets DJ Krush, only that the Enigma part feels more like Nils Petter Molvaer and Krush would have to be a Morrocan unplugged instrumentalist ;)"
