i was listening to this mix from john eden and it's so so good, so many things to highlight but my favourite tune of all is "12. Kevin Henry & Kate – Born Again (Rhythm Force 12″)" which starts around 36:00 http://www.uncarved.org/blog/2010/12/mix-grievous-angel-john-eden-present-lovers-rock/
weirdly, i can hardly find any info on this song, it's not up on youtube either.
Warm climate and people, i dunno really, i think it was just fate, coulda been Japan instead probablyWhat is it that drew you to the Middle East or whatever you call it these days Sufi? What did you find there?
