Comment:
Inspired by the Borges story: "The Two Kings and the Two Labyrinths." The story haunts me. (Be careful who you embarrass.) Many thanks to Thomas Mohr for the Laswell & Suns of Arqa discs the two tracks herein are from; also to the Templar for the Scenic disc...also a Borges fan.

this looks fascinating. I'll have to read the story.
Hmmm.... the Templar and Allah. I detect a certain tension here.... I'll have to pull the story as well (assuming the local library is still open). Cool cover too.
Nice that you've included a Bowie track here, as he starred in the fine movie 'Labyrinth'. Perhaps you should have used his 'Dance Magic Dance' from the aforementioned Jim Henson-Terry Jones classic.
again, excellent entry, all knowing valis.
when I saw this earlier today I was trying to remember (hmmmm) a short piece by Borges that I
had read in college,
Funes, the Memorious...

Excellent story, excellenter mix...Mmm, the Ullulators...
Don't know a single note on this mix old boy, but as a close personal friend of its creator, it must be godly topped with cream. Haunting cover too.
I wish I could top what Ion said, but he hit the nail on the head. Another winner methinks. A brilliant concept, and deserving (overdue to these ears)of mix of the week.
Looks divine and downright marvelous, indeed. Loads of phat 'n earthy, Arabian-inspired dub stuff. Just what the doctor ordered. Plus it makes me wanna pull that Borges story off the shelf right away . . . P.S.: Fangs for the credit. 'Twas a pleasure, amigo.
Very intriguing, may have to do some reading myself. I've read some Borges and liked it quite a lot.
hey valis. really cool mix, i'm reading a collection of borges at the moment...mind-blowing stuff. maybe i can conjure up my own kind of borges tribute sometime...
I wonder if Borges was thinking of the great pyramids when he mused that we should build as if sand were stone. In the labyrinth you find even Allah is sand.
I have never read Borges and i'm not familiar with a lot of stuff on it but this looks really good again.
Having listened to this, I can confirm that it make for a mesmerizing trip. With or without the Borges soundtrack.
