"He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation"

"The Page Screams Out" is a new track that I available have for FREE download and distribution. Dig it.

This is what I like most about MySpace, whereas we are able to share our music with others and by-pass a host of vultures that are unappreciative of the art but anxiously eyeing a prize that the art will provide, at the cost of...well...I guess that's those who buy music.

HI KHALGANI, ITS SUCH AN HONOUR FOR YOU TO HAVE ME IN YOUR TOP FRIENDS (DJ UMB).

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND.

WISHING U AN ULTRA MAGICAL 2007.

SHISHA BLESSINGS.

BUDDHA LOUNGE WORLD-WIDE RELEASE 15 JAN 07:

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

This collection is an around-the-world experience that starts in a quasi-spiritual dream state, before taking a quick dip in the Mediterranean ocean, dancing the Tango, and jetting off to a party in the Balkans. It then staggers into an exclusive joint in Istanbul and dances to the hottest international club tunes until the break of dawn.
