Sun God features members of Cassandra Complex & Project Pitchfork performing
music written around Voudou and Santeria rituals of magick and religion.
Contained within the liner notes are vivid descriptions about the use of dream
speech via the invocation of Loa to communicate the lyrics and music to the
artists while they slept. Unlike most albums this was not written for
entertainment but rather via the inspiration of the spirits of the Voudou
religion. Even if you think this concept behind the music is a little on the
hokey side the musicians go out of their way to be quite sincere in their
approach and honestly try to make the listener believe that the music was
influenced by dream spirits. The music itself is very tribal oriented with
heavy focus on electronic percussion and as well as the live instrumentation of
violas, flutes and gnostic chants. The album is a modern day interpretation of
what many of the early pagan magick ceremonies might have been in the middle
ages. The music inspires meditation, celebration and escape from the constraints
of society on its listeners. Perhaps that this is good advice no matter what
the source of counsel, mortal or immortal?
