This is the new and outstanding album from the Cosmic Orient collective, an
accumulation of artists who lay their focus on electronic vibes paired with
oriental coloring. Head behind the project is Frankfurt/Main based producer and
DJ Herb T who invited the convincing artists Catenia Quentin (vocalist),
Abdurraham Köse (percussionist), Mercedes (vocalist), Dana Golombek (vocalist),
Markie J., Aaron Gibbs and Nemesis to create a mixture of western music ideas
with oriental elements like vocal parts, harmonics, instruments and percussions
in a completely fascinating and new get-together.

Herb T discovered his passion for music in his early childhood what made him
handling with the styles Soul, Funk, R'n'B, Jazz and Reggae as a DJ. In the
middle of the nineties he discovered oriental music, especially Arabian and
Indian sounds and developed his very specific sound he is realizing constantly
with his Cosmic Orient project he founded in 2001. Their first compilation,
named “Eastern Electronics” was released in 2002 which the first album on
BlueFrameRec., “Cosmic Orient, followed in 2006. In 2009 it is time to release
the second album “Black Flame”.

With the new album Herb T, who was inspired by the Asian Underground from
London, and his international artist colllective are fusing downbeat, trip hop,
ambient and dub to an anbsolutely unique mixture of lounge music with a razor
sharp profile. The combination of eastern mythology and western technology hits
a very assailable point: the individuality of cultures. Cosmic Orient are
crossing borders with their music and displace them. The result is an
unbelievable poetic and emotional style of fragile and beautiful tracks that are
easing the mind.
