We had a lot of fun recording the outro of the titletrack that has been done really live. Silvano, the percussionist just arrived and we pulled him into the recording session. He asked what he had to do, and we said "just do something".

Pravritti, the Sanskrit word is derived from the verbal root vrit -- to flow or to turn, plus the preposition pra -- forth, hence the word means 'a flowing forth,' an unfolding of what is within, in other words, evolution.
The processes of evolution and involution are simultaneous and cannot be separated.
On the Downward Arc of Evolution or the Cycle of emanating forms,
 
matter undergoes Pravritti and hence bodies of many grades are developed, and Spirit undergoes Nivritti and hence becomes inwrapped in these bodies of ever increasing materiality.
On the Upward Arc or the cycle of spiritual development matter involves and spirit evolves, outward forms gradually disappear inwards and spirit unfolds itself in ever fuller visible expressions, such as divine and compassionate actions and qualities.
