A remastered version of Future By Design’s “Elevation” initially released back in 1998. This is a meditative, minimal and experimental House track. When I wrote this track it was purely about escapism. What was I trying to escape? I don’t think I knew it back then, but I was trying to escape the clutches of a life lived without realising a vibrant purpose.

And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife,
Genesis 13:1 – Young’s Literal Translation
and all that he hath, and Lot with him) towards the south;
The Young’s Literal Translation isn’t perfect, but when I am looking at what the bible is saying on a fundamental level, I use it for analysis. Notice this translation doesn’t mention the Negev dessert like most modern translation do, it talks about going “UP”, and as many other translations up until the King James Version, it renders “into the south”. We must understand two-dimensional maps that make us subliminally think that “up” means north and “down” means south, when the earth isn’t two-dimensional and perfectly flat like a two-dimensional surface did not exist until around 600BC. However, Abraham lived before maps of this kind existed, and this scripture was written way before that (~ 2000BC).
Notice the map puts Lower Egypt in the north, and Upper Egypt in the south. This is because Africa as a continent generally rises in elevation (height) from north to south. The Nile that flows into The Mediterranean Sea, has it source in further south in places like Zimbabwe/Uganda (Lake Victoria), and some argue Rwanda and Burundi.
Abraham didn’t go north into the what is known as The Negev on the Sinai Peninsula, but rather south, further into Africa. If you know, you know…
