Each track is unique, and the style is diverse. There are elements of house, fused together with live instruments and vocals, with Terence's voice interspersed throughout the tracks. Think boundary dissolution, diversity dancablitity....... Special thanks and Love to Nick (Baba) Doof , responsible for the house remix and recordings of Terence McKenna on Anything Can Happen.
Catal Huyuk > a psychedelic salad created by Poloka Lele and friends to celebrate Terence McKenna's life and to blend his ideas with an organic mix of live and house flavors. House remixes and recordings of Terence in Uxmal contributed by Nick (Baba) Doof. The album, Nature Loves Courage, was lovingly produced at the turn of the millenium and released just prior to Terence's departure from this earth, with his blessing. Mahalo
reviews:
"I love Catal Huyuk!"....Terence McKenna
"Catal Huyuk are a reflection in the rain puddles of a vast and ominous force... a bio-electricity that has never known bio-insulation"...Tom Robbins
" The debut cd, Nature Loves Courage by Catal Huyuk comes Highly recommended." ....Bruce Pavitt ( founder , Sub Pop) Trip Mag
All past..."now's"... are like clouds passing by, moving into an eternity ago, fading fast, no holding on, effortlessly emptying like rain clouds releasing,returning to the grander cycle, leaving its former existance.
trusting in the birth of a new "now", unique and unto it's own - a gift... for the "now" never goes away, always present waiting to be entered empty and innocent....ready to dance and play in the fields of possibilities.
in this spirit, in this space, in this smile, i will meet with you mr

aloha!...just checking in to see how you're doing.....feels fine....alls well in babylon. The building across the street burned to its beautiflu foundation ..the 80's crap facade destroyed to reveal its original archway columned beauty...on the very hour of my birthday lol!
I hope life is peaceful and contented for you presently my musical friend....I apologise for the delay with that money....I kept forgetting (herb) and then discovered its actually a fairly long winded process, with the bank having to set up some weird account thing... I shy away from banks! But i`m on to it!!
May the divine other continue to inspire and stream its resonance into your music, and may all we artists continue to plant seeds and spread love through the vibrational matrix of gaia. Here`s to Utopia!!
"The purpose of truly transcendent art is to express something you are not yet, but something that you can become." (Alex Grey)
May you become the spirit within which inspires you most, leaving behind all the fleshy suffering that is counterproductive. May you suffer well in that state of blissful agony, creating masterpieces of magnificent prismatic crystal out of the tears long cried.
Love is the Tai Chi of Agony And Bliss. Live, love and suffer passionate beauty, making your "Being" the work of transcendent art it was meant to be.
Thanks for throwing me the psych-preserver, the timing is when I was needing it, I am Breathing!!! The seas are rough these days, not the Ocean, just the wind we got of late.
I miss that man McKenna.
Thanks for sendin me the waves.
Nate
