After a precision liftoff in Tabasco and setting a course to travel the space ways from planet to planet, the album peels away through a wormhole just past Saturn in the eponymous track Mayan Space Station to journey through time and space in Canyons of Light. eric F

hi Rajna I got gratification listening yr album and it was very embarrassing to admit yr music touched me very deeply. I've been listening to and playing music for over 50 years, but recently nothing has affected me like this. Believe me, these are not obvious compliments! I wanted to support the purchase in CD copy, athough, despite these modern times, it's very challenging to support the receipt of an item purchased overseas but music quality must always be supported! Hope u replay soon cheers boombilly
