Orion Prophecy, Waterbone's second album, is the follow-up to the popular 1998 release Tibet. With Tibet Jimmy Waldo and D. Kendal Jones traveled to Tibet, well or at least Nepal, to gather recordings and inspiration. In the fashion of Deep Forest and Enigma, Waterbone left behind the Himalayan soundscape for a chance to explore the Middle East. The duo situated themselves in Cairo, and with the assistance of percussionist Hossam Ramzy (duff, doholla, reque, toura, tabla) embarked on a quest to find the finest Egyptian singers and musicians. To ensure a feel of authenticity, recordings were taken of performances on the streets, in parades, and at ancient and sacred sites such as the Sphinx. Intermixed with the Arabic vocals and instruments, previously unknown to Waterbone, are the familiar house beats and acid electronica of Tibet. A couple stylistic aspects which are much more prominent in the second album than the first album is the use of reverberating vocals and what I call the 'waah waah' background effect, to promote a more mystic atmosphere.
