Atlas March

(Intro - Atlas Breath) (Warm desert wind howling over rugged Atlas rocks, dry sand crackling, deep sub-bass drone swelling up) a-tal... a-tal... a-tal... a-tal... ya-la... ya-la... ya-la... ya-la... sha-ri... sha-ri... sha-ri... sha-ri... (Stone-March Pulse) (Heavy dry Bendir and stone-percussion enter at 160 BPM, march-like rhythm driving forward through the gravel) tiki-tal... tiki-tal... tiki-tal... tiki-tal... paka-ya... paka-ya... paka-ya... paka-ya... taka-ri... taka-ri... taka-ri... taka-ri... (Kabyle-Chant Hook) (Full rhythmic trance loop sets in, hypnotizing vocal resonance, proud mountain energy) ya-la a-tal sha-ri... ya-la a-tal sha-ri... ya-la a-tal sha-ri... (Stone-Drone Layer) (Drums thin out into a relentless march, heavy rock-like sub-drone layer takes over, grounding the body) uu-tal... uu-tal... uu-tal... uu-tal... aa-la... aa-la... aa-la... aa-la... oo-ri... oo-ri... oo-ri... oo-ri... (Atlas-March Loop) (Full speed ahead, endless marching loop, maximum hypnotic momentum) a-tal a-tal ya-la ya-la... sha-ri sha-ri uu-tal uu-tal... (Mountain-Finale) (Percussion slowly fading out into vast, echoing mountain valleys, proud and warm) ya-la uu-tal aa-la... ya-la uu-tal aa-la... a-tal sha-ri oo-ri... a-tal sha-ri oo-ri... (Fade Out) (A final Berber chant echo dying softly into the warm Atlas wind)
