<=> Regardless of AJNA's muse, I just simply enjoy his soundscapes. I don't often feel they are necessary "dark" but but more often peaceful with a unsettling that is captivating.
Enjoy this album as well as his others.
Favorite track: Nommo.

Wandering Prince Vampire Artist of very high quality in the Dark ambient: AJNA, whose treasures of creations of Universes unique in each one I add to my collection...
There are many of these artists to navigate beyond the Horizons of our understanding, but each has his own particular vision, as each individual is unique in his Graph...

about

Ancient tribes and civilizations such as The Dogon, The Egyptians and the Sumerians to name a few, claim to have had contact with extraterrestrials from the Sirius star system (Sirius A, B & C) anywhere from 5,000-10,000 years ago.

These ancient civilizations obtained advanced and extensive knowledge on the occult, physics, astronomy. mathematics etc without any modern technology, this knowledge was mostly likely given to them by extraterrestrials. The Dogon themselves claim that they have a secret portal that directly connects them to the Sirius star system where they also describe that it is the place where many departed souls dwell.

These 10 tracks evoke the mystery of how humans have contacted and/or have been contacted by otherworldly entities since the dawn of time.

"Ajna produces quintessential electroacoustic and cinematic ambient music. The Enigma of Sirius is heavy on synth-based drones, with rattling elements and processed random noise spectra in the foreground or background....long-held notes ultimately dominate, exhibiting many textures and tones, all dark and haunting. The album tells a story of ancient cultures coming in contact with extraterrestrials. Nonetheless, it can be received in many ways, including as a soundtrack to an imaginary sci-fi / horror movie..."~Avant Music News

"..the American composer creates ten tracks that are not only skillfully refined and with an excellent audio rendering, but also and above all effective in providing soundtracks for such intriguing themes...What is most striking in the evolution of Ajna is the wide range of solutions used compared to a past that was in many ways more linear...Chris offers a variety of solutions, themes and atmospheres which allows a pure dark ambient album to never lapse into repetitive or tedium....A leap in quality to be rewarded, both for inspiration and for effectiveness..."~Darkroom Magazine (Translated from Italian to English)

"...the work brings a succession of overwhelming, ominous, sound atmospheres. It has been realized with field recordings and a sonic canvas of tormenting noises.... This is how Dark-Ambient and obscure Cinematic music have to sound and Ajna excels in this heavy feeling. All the different elements these tracks have been made by are excelling in torment... the most poignant and frightening tracks ever composed by Ajna..." 8/10 (Side-Line Magazine)

"...The Enigma Of Sirius” was my introduction to this New York project and I am thoroughly impressed. This is highly recommended for fans of creepy, sinister, intergalactic drone dark ambient with a darkly menacing, deeply mysterious atmosphere from start to finish...." 8.5/10 (Dark Entries Webzine)

A World of Hurt
by Blood Box

Highly mysterious and brooding Dark Ambient relic from the late 90's. A criminally underrated gem. Stunning work from Michael J.V. Hensley of Yen Pox. Ajna

In Sadness, Silence And Solitude
by Raison D'être

The first Dark Ambient album that I've ever listened to back in the late 90's. Still holds up as one of the best Dark Ambient albums of all time. Highly Recommended! Ajna

Morpheus (Remastered)
by Delerium

Although not purely Dark Ambient, earlier Delerium material is very influential on me. A fine mixture of Industrial, Ritual, Dark Ambient & Electro. Nothing gets better than the Leeb/Fulber duo. Ajna
