Ancient Future in Concert
(397K JPEG of Emam, Doug McKeehan, Irina Mikhailova, Matthew Montfort, and Pandit Habib Khan)
"Ancient Future is a rare kind of band that might simultaneously aggravate purists, confound New Age dilettantes, seduce skeptics, and dazzle just about everybody else. Delicious compositions, intricate arrangements, crisp playing and impeccable production put these ambitious voyagers in a league of their own."
–Derk Richardson, San Francisco Bay Guardian
