“It all pulls together into an admirable spiritual severity on an invisible thread that binds the Byzantine monastery represented on the front cover of the package with the Atomic Bomb Memorial Dome on the back. Don’t be afraid of the sacred fire of Zone, listen and absorb what is communicated.”

The name ‘Born Of Fire’ was taken from Jamil Dehlavi’s film of the same name, staring Suzanne Crowley, Peter Firth, Stefan Kalipha and Nabil Shaban. The name was chosen simply because there was a clear sense of synchronicity between both the name and the raw subject matter of this film and much of Zone’s idea’s at that time. Also, only a few weeks prior to seeing the film for the first time, Andrew had visited many of the locations, where the film was shot, while touring Turkey, with The Beshara Trust, and attending the Sema ritual, of the Mevlevi Order, in Konya.

Originally released jointly between Potentia Records and Luciano Dari’s Italian record label Musica Maxima Magnetica (catalogue No.ZONE 003/eee 005) the recording appeared during February 1991 in CD format only, as an initial edition of 1000 copies. The CD was distributed through People Who Can’t Distribution, now World Serpent Distribution.

The Front Cover

The front cover photo was taken by Andrew in 1988 and is of a mosaic depicting the Christian Nativity scene, to be found in one of the domes at the Byzantine Kariye Monastery (Church of St.Saviour in Chora) in Istanbul, Turkey. The back cover photo (§) is the view looking through the Atomic Bomb Memorial Dome, located very near to the heart of the Atom Bomb explosion (Ground Zero), in Hiroshima, Japan.
