The Other Side of This was recorded at Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart's home studio in 1991. The album's 13 selections are inspired by the Afro-Brazilian traditions of Airto Moreira's heritage and take the listener on an aural tour of imaginary landscapes. The liner notes provide guided visualizations intended to transport the listener step-by-step through an array of emotions ranging from reflection to celebration. “The spirit body can travel to places that the material body cannot,” says Moreira. “It is these places I speak of when I say 'the other side of this.'” The album features a variety of sounds including stomping, vocals, tree branches, surdo (a large Brazilian bass drum), shakers, cowbell, rattles, and bullroarer. The Other Side of This was issued in 1992 as part of “THE WORLD” series.
