I had to carry all that weight for long long time I had to burry all the king that were so fine For more then hundred centuries nobody know the word And now they tamed my name and used it for their wars I had the time, I had the place But they didn’t know the reason for my grace I hear the chimes I see the eyes but I lost it all that’s left I just my name

about

Die Reise geht weiter ...
... denn der fliegende Teppich brachte ORNAH-MENTAL von Berlin
(Testimony 2004) über die Pyrenäen (Take Time Out 2007) hin zum Ursprung der Menschheitsgeschichte - nach Ägypten.
Heliopolis, das IV. fulltime-, fullrange-Album vereint Träume und Ideen über die Zeit der Pyramidenbauer mit Samples und Sounds des Mega-Molochs Kairo.
6 Wochen Dreharbeiten für den ägyptischen Independent-Film Masr El Gedida (Heliopolis) im Herbst /Winter 2007 waren der Ausgangspunkt für dieses Album - nicht nur musikalisch, denn ORNAH- MENTAL ́s V-Jane Martina Grünewald war als Kamerafrau dabei und hat nebenbei auch einen riesigen Fundus an Photos mitgebracht, die den Klangkosmos im Booklet bebildern.
Zum ersten Mal ist das Projekt von Dirk Schlömer in der Lage, sich auf CD auch als Band präsentieren zu können. Womit „HELIOPOLIS“ gleichzeitig Neudefinition und Zäsur ist. Und, ORNAH- MENTAL verstehen es wirklich zu rocken und waren dennoch nie geheimnisvoller und mystischer als auf dem neuen Album.
Dub ist immer noch die Fläche, auf die die Reisen projiziert werden, aber viele neue Ausdrucksmittel haben Einlass gefunden - World Music ist hier in einem anderen Sinne definiert, auf der Basis von Drums,Bass, Guitar und - Psychedelic.
Die Zeiten des Kraft schöpfenden Innehaltens sind vorbei. Zwar nicht Geschichte, da das wundersame „Take Time Out“ im ORNAH-MENTALschen Prioritätenkomplex weiterhin Bedeutung besitzt und sogar noch an Bedeutung gewinnt, aber die Intentionen gipfeln nun in einem Tatendrang, der dem der alten Baumeister gleichkommt. Das Ziel der neuen Initiative – „HELIOPOLIS“...
