Elders Drinking Song by Difang Love Devotion Feeling Emotion Don't be afraid to be weak Don't be too proud to be strong Just look into your heart my friend That will be the return to yourself The return to innocence The return to innocence If you want, then start to laugh If you must, then start to cry Be yourself don't hide Just believe in destiny I am Taiwannes!It's nice to hear the chant standing alone. As an obvious reference to the court-case with Enigma, Lacksman made his own, gentler modernisation of Elder's Drinking Song as well as including the original version of the chant unaccompanied on the CD.

The controversy around the case propelled Difang into the international spotlight, and Dan Lacksman (whose most famous project had been the first Deep Forest album) approached him to produce an album together.
Not one Single credit on ALL the rips.+Monica Pachikerl oh wow that's so cool!Muito foda!! ...TRIBAL...no lines...No separation...!...All music is a "ripoff" of something else, somewhere, somehow, often even coincidentally. It was called Return to Innocence.
