Listening to music on syrian rue

[The Sofa Traveler]

This thread about music on harmal just made me think about an ambient record I bought a few time ago : Mystic AM - Cardamom & Laudanum. The plot of the record especially made me establish an obvious link with harmal :

Conceived as an immersive fictional soundtrack piece, the release tells the story of a traveller, some centuries ago, and the rather intense metaphysical experience he unexpectedly stumbles into whilst taking shelter on a hot desert night at Zein-o-Din Caravanserai, near Yazd in Persia. Dusk envelopes the vast barren landscape as the protagonist enters the ribat, treasures of woven silks, ornaments and exotic spices glint under the flickering oil lamps, swirls of perfumed vapour dance mesmerisingly in the darkness. As the music unfolds the events of the passing day quickly melt away, and the unsuspecting traveller is plunged into an otherworldly dimension.

Not to mention one of the tracks titles which reminds the possible link between Zoroastrianism and harmal: "Thus Spoke Zarathustra/The Djinn".
