Mountains Of Assam

I noticed I had some music on a cd that sounded just like what Fry was playing in that wonderful episode of Futurama: The devil's hands are idle playthings. No further information was given on the cd about the origin of this music.
If you like this version, please also listen to the other one I uploaded called "Illusions Of Taoism".

Edit 06-07-2010:
martymanga pointed out that there is another version of this melody called Cicadas by Lotus.

This is simply amazing...It suits so well...Err...Do you mind if I make a link to this in a fiction I'm writing?

[tuschman168]

@MixmasterPhirePhox Not at all. Go ahead!

[martymanga]

there's another version by lotus in their album called "lotus" too,the song is called cicadas,you can find it on itunes

[tuschman168]

@martymanga You are right. It is the same melody. Do you think one of these is the original and the others are covers or maybe it's a traditional melody that has no name so everybody just calls it whatever they want? This is bugging me now. What's the original's name? Nobody knows.

@tuschman168 I like it... I like the mystery behind the composition. If we listened to the radio, heard a mainstream song then we could search it, buy it, done. This is something so many of us have heard on futurama but so few have had the effort to try and trace back to it's roots. I like the idea of mystery behind it - where did this composition come from? It's so beautiful and magnificent that it just amazes me :D It sets it apart and really makes it something special

@TheAstralEntity a holophone

[Bexteron1990]

I wish the holophone really existed. Then we would be able to tell what the artist was thinking when s/he made this wonderful music :D

[Outshinedsg]

Thanks for uploading this. Very relaxing to listen to.

I swear this song was playing in my dreams. I was walking in a forest on a starry night... And then an angel lead me on too these platforms that were like glass in the sky. We danced to the melody. It was the most joy I ever felt in a condensed moment.
