Reviews
- As already mentioned here and there, the LP is possibly one of the most iconic titles sampled in 80's. The track B3 were also used in "Invocation (To Secular Heresies)", an opening track of the album SPK - Zamia Lehmanni (Songs Of Byzantine Flowers). That album contains many samples anyway.
Edited one year agoThe recordings gathered here were collected in their local contexts, which allows the authenticity of the musical materials to be retained. Even though, some of the tracks, originally in mono, were later electronically processed for stereo, a practice that today can be subject to debate.
Two different samples from the track B2 of this record (the solo singing of the Lebanese Dunya Yunis) were used in tracks 3 and 8 of Brian Eno - David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts (1981).
Also, some samples from this Islam vocal music release, including, again, the voice of Dunya Yunis, were used in the song "Angel Dust", part of New Order - Brotherhood (1986).
Coincidentally, Peter Saville (2) contributed to the design work on both My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts and Brotherhood albums.
If someone has just the cover in stock, let me know :)
Mine has some damages. Thanks !
Edited 7 years agomy life in the bush of ghosts - brian eno and david byrne, think they might of owned a copy ;-)
Track B2 also used in New Order - Evil Dust.
A record of great integrity from the great age of the hi-fi. “Ethnic” music in 1976 was not conscious of its self as it is now; this record therefore is a jewel from an age of innocence. The ambience is intimate and although the fidelity of sound is unremarkable the places and people in the recordings are tangible.
