I know Nile but I somehow could never accept the flavour of a full-metal-piece regarding ancient oriental lore... This solo-project sounds very nice. Going to check it out. Probably the best recommendation so far!
@The Batlord: It's not a problem that I am going to use this music for my trippy purposes isn't it? I call myself a mystic and a philosopher. I try to create mystic experiences not only by using drugs but also by expanding my mind via thinking. The mystic experience on the first hand is what I need to apply philosophy to it because I am a critical-minded person and not some kind of esoteric-believing person.
Last but not least am I a musician myself always searching for new influences as I use my mystic experiences and applied philosophy to create music myself.
