all too often our world leaders seek to instill in those they govern a sense of fear and intolerance toward cultures that differ from their own.  it is therefore in the spirit of unity that telepath offers this album.  many of these songs have been inspired by some of the most ancient musical and spiritual traditions on earth.  those who enjoy the music are encouraged to explore the classical and folk music of India and the Middle East.  it is our sincere hope that this album will serve as a point of contact that may expand first into curiosity, then into admiration, respect and compassion.
