It also references the book After The Last Sky, Edward Said’s meditation on exile and memory. Edward Said is remembered with Anouar Brahem’s composition “Edward Said’s Reverie”, which is the tenth track on this album. After the Last Sky is the first recording that Anouar Brahem has made with a cellist. Anja Lechner adds a lyrical voice and the warm round tone of her cello complements the timbre and persuasive attack of the oud. “Dancing Under the Meteorites” is a joyful tango style romp that includes Bates piano solo over an erie, raspily bowed, overtone laden cello part.
