istimtā' by Architect of Truth
The album title is a Romanization of the Arabic word إِسْتِمْتَاع, which means jouissance or enjoyment.
For an optimal experience of sonic enjoyment, listen to this synthomatic album with high-fidelity headphones.
Tortoise, Vangelis, Jarre, Ye, Tyler, Mounib, and Jarret inspired some of the sounds on this album. However, there are always unconscious sources of inspiration of which we are unaware!
