"Giza Plateau" opens the Cairo set with piano, crashing ocean waves and space synths, but Steve quickly settles into an electronic groove that's pure 70s Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream. And when the guitar kicks in and starts to jam we're really rocking in space. Later we hear some ethnic horns which inject a Blue Lily Commission feel into the music, though the classic 70s sequenced synths continue to rumble alongside. "nymphaea caerulea" starts off light and spacey with Dub bass and more Blue Lily styled ethnic horns. We're also treated to excellent guitar on this one. Spacey liquid psychedelic jamming licks, along with keyboard melodies that remind me of a Goblin soundtrack, ethnic percussion and that cool Dub pulse. Then around the 13 minute mark space-industrial synths indicate a transition to a more subdued, darkly atmospheric, sound exploratory segment. Like an extended introductory buildup, it has a space-ambient but rich cinematic feel, like the soundtrack to an avant-garde documentary about space exploration. Eventually we return to the opening theme and we're back in dreamy rocking space for the duration. Nearly 30 minutes of luscious spaced out BLISS! And speaking of bliss… we've got a flute and mellotron combination on "Osiris Flute", a brief track that sets the stage for "Papyrus Head In The Nile", which right out of the gate made me feel like I was among the pyramids. It develops into Blue Lily styled space trip, with cosmic horn and sequenced synths. And of course we travel through a variety of themes, from spunky, almost jazzy, keyboard driven rocker, to more deep space drift.
