Mirage (Update) by Eastern Expressions

Dynamic Middle Eastern rhythms fuse with exotic Far Eastern atmospheres, organic electronic Hip Hop beats smoothly blend together with mesmerizing Jazz harmonies. Featuring the amazing sounds of guest artists like Kondo Toshinori, Wataru Kousaka and Tim Rayborn, this album represents a unique and long-awaited sequel to the notorious Eastern Expressions album series.

The songs on this album were created during different periods of Ruben van Rompaey's artist travels around the globe. The result is an exciting meeting of musical worlds, a spiritual voyage and amalgamation of traditional oriental moods and modern sound adventures.
