Millsart feat. Rafael Leafar – Infinite Voyage

When I created “The Infinite Voyage” for the Millsart “Think Again” album, I had a feeling that I was just skimming the top of this concept and that there could be more work to do on this concept.  When a close friend in Detroit turned me onto Rafael Leafar and what an amazing musician he is, I thought this might be an opportunity to explore further.  What Rafael did was re-adjust time context of time and atmosphere that surrounds the elements by an almost orchestral way of adding various horn parts and effects. Now, its deeper than deep!   – Jeff Mills
