KarlSanders is the guitarist from the excellent Ancient Egyptian-themed US metal band Nile, whose music is an enjoyable mix of epic, crushing death metal, ambient middle eastern folk passages and ominous martial drumming that is suggestive of lost cities and huge, half-forgotten desert battles.
Allegedly originating from an abundance of left-over material from the recording sessions with Nile, 'Saurian Meditation', the first release under Sanders' self-titled side project, is an atmospheric/ambient listen that consists of slow-paced and atmospheric Middle-Eastern/Egyptian, sitar-like acoustic music with ethnic drums, gongs, flutes, lethargic, bluesy guitars and drawn-out, soaring solos. Whilst largely instrumental, there are also soothing, chanted backing vocals and the occasional soft invocation which add extra atmosphere ...
Advantages: Seriously cool Disadvantages: absolutely none, it is what it is.
'Saurian meditation', it is what you expect for a meditation album. It is repetitive, simple slow, chilled rythms, tones and melodies, and of course, the focus is with an authentic egyptian theme/sound.

Advantages: Cool, quality masculine smell Disadvantages: Hard to come by in the shops
Well my birthday has passed, its time to get to work. As per usual I put on the first aftershave that I can grab as I run out the door.
The latest one in the collection in my bathroom is Sander for Men.
I don't honestly think I have seen this for sale in the UK but then I don't go out of my way to look for aftershaves but rely on kind friends and family to furnish me with aftershaves on birthdays and at Christmas.
The Sanders bottle is a 75 ml bottle made by Jil Sander of Paris. On the bottle it is described as " A Bracing Aftershave". Well I have to agree with that. Oh so many aftershaves these days smell a little basic and don't really have any here nor there, perhaps the word feminine is what I am looking for.
When you put this after shave on you get that quite strong smell of quality and aroma that sort of makes you feel ...
