A concept album based on the novel by Doris Lessing A unique mix of pop and classical, electronic and acoustic, best described as Chamber Pop, SHIKASTA SUITE is a concept album created in tribute to Nobel prize winning author Doris Lessing’s 1979 science fiction novel, "Shikasta". It is meant to be listened to as an album. Though the songs stand each on their own, the sum is greater than its parts.
