In a panic he sees only one salvation: calling God the great alchemist-creator of the universe to his rescue.

He only remembers a quarrel between the first couple of humans about an apple… So God agrees to accompany Magical Musical Man to Earth to find out what happened to human kind! 

The 15 tracks of the album constitute a dreamy and musical trip around the world, made like a movie in space and time, a journey at the edge of earthly music and human societies.
