Axel had just finished work on the second album by Plastic Rubber Band ("Kansas Is"), when he took a vacation in the little town of Miahuatlan de Porfirio Diaz, in Oaxaca State, Mexico. Inspired and "psychedelicized" by the sounds he heard there, when he returned home he brought the Plastic Rubber folks back to the studio in Southern Utah to help him with an album. It became "Journey to Oaxaca", and it is another in a series of "twenty-minute albums" (an innovation for the modern listener from Axel Mundi Music). In this case, it is 24 minutes in length and includes 4 instrumental songs and one with singing.
Axel says: "I believe that all music is psychedelic in the sense that it has the potential to expand the listener's awareness.
