The album explores highly original compositions of hypnotizing, primarily Middle Eastern inspired music, featuring the unique inclusion of instruments such as the balagma saz (Turkish lute) and Glissentar, often blended with dark electronic ambience and deft electric guitar work. Saurian Meditation marked the beginning of Sanders' Saurian journey, being the first of now three Saurian releases. From the haunting first notes of 'Awaiting the Vultures', which dreamily conjures images of traversing through the dark, mysterious halls of an abandoned ancient temple, to the slithering, percussion-driven pulses and searing electric solos on the ominous album closer 'Beckon the Sick Winds of Pestilence' - Saurian Meditation provides a diverse escape for both fans of Nile and the outer realms beyond. Thematically centered around its acoustically-driven, spellbinding seventh track, 'Dreaming Through the Eyes of Serpents', the album ebbs and flows from a higher, rhythmic consciousness to a darker, hypnotic inner balance, achieving a Reptilian Theta State of deep meditation. Saurian Meditation launches the multi-dimensional Saurian universe - witness the very first, transcendental solo output by Karl Sanders, available for the very first time on vinyl, as well as in CD and digital formats, via Napalm Records!\u003cp\u003eAwaiting the Vultures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf the Sleep of Ishtar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuring the Doom Serpent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContemplations of the Endless Abyss\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Elder God Shrine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTemple of Lunar Ascension\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDreaming Through the Eyes of Serpents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhence No Traveler Returns\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Forbidden Path Across the Chasm of Self-Realization\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeckon the Sick Winds of Pestilence\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55127852876161,"sku":"1567267","price":10.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61Qfw1KRdML._SL1500.jpg?v=1766723478","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1567267","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
