Journey on Az Ma'ar Moon is the third
studio album by the French collective The Selenites Band, positioned as a
conceptual "Ethiofuturist odyssey." The musicians continue their
exploration of Ethio-jazz but push beyond traditional sounds by
incorporating elements of sci-fi and psychedelia. The record's narrative
revolves around a journey to the imaginary moon of Az Ma'ar, where the
compositions serve as chapters in this cosmic story. The album's sound
blends hypnotic rhythms, cinematic atmosphere, and modern electronic
experiments, creating a sense of mystical trance.
