This 1997 album presents songs based on translations of the Arabian Nights, filtered through Kip Hanrahan's poetic sensibilities as they become lyrics, with a smattering of narration between sections. Many of his regular collaborative pals are on hand again, including Fernando Saunders, Jack Bruce, and Don Pullen.

The latter carry the singing parts, each in the guise of a particular character (Saunders as the Lost Prince, Bruce as the Jewish Doctor, etc.). A sultry sexuality pervades, uniting the entire work. The tropical rhythms, which are the foundation of much of this music, manage to be both laid back and propulsive, sometimes simultaneously. The opening theme, "Shahrazad" is such a delicately gorgeous melody, it alone is worth the price of admission.
