More Info

CIVILIZATIONS is Intelligentsia's most popular album and quite rightly so - 3 years in the making of some of their most dramatic works. Featuring their best selling track "INTERSTELLA" which featured as part of the award winning INTERACTIVE LIVE SHOW tour, with Warner records artist Susumu Hirasawa (Paprika/P-Model). Also included is JARREOLOGIE which fronted the global Jarre project, the classical orchestra pieces ANDROMEDA & SPACEDOCK, and their more uptempo tracks, TOUCHDOWN & DREAMS OF THE FUTURE. Tokyo model and artist ADEYTO provides the avant garde operatic vocals, while various other musical guests are featured.

"The eternal circle of life and death, the rise and the fall. I saw rain and a pair of eyes. A little wooden house on a meadow and a lake.The heavy raindrops kept falling.
