Dusted Magazine reviews this awesome looking reissue from Honest Jon’s Records.
They have one song from as a teaser posted along with the review and I perosnally love it. I can’t always get into Middle Eastern music for some of the reasons the reviewer mentions but perhaps my exposure early in life to Indian rags and melodies has innoculated me… Anyways, check out the song and this transalation of one of it’s verses below;
Sayed Abbood’s “Shlon Aslak.”
“Short of dying, how can I get you out of my mind?
My agonising pain and my cries go on and on.
Everyone except me is asleep.
I toss and turn; sleep eludes me.”
Man that is some emotionally, deep shit..
