The Joy Of Nature's 'A Roda Do Templo' is both a logical and an ambitious follow-up to 'The Empty Circle, Part II', offering folk inspired songs in Portuguese. The album's main theme is the cyclical nature of time, the cyclical nature of one's individual life and the axis of the wheel, beyond time. The lyrics for the 16 tracks are taken from, or inspired by, a.o. poetry from the Azores islands, Celtic peoples (Irish and Scottish) and ancient Chinese poetry. Edition of 296 CD's presented in a digipack.
