Rabih Beaini

A bit of a digression here- this a new record and usually I avoid posting such things, but the scarcity of this and the quality of it mean I'm putting up here. (I was lucky enough to score this bit of vinyl on a recent trip to London, and yes, I am showing off.) The album is Albidaya, and it's from Rabih Beaini, a Lebanese born/Berlin resident composer. He works in a pretty experimental vein, has quite the array of analog synths and makes an incredibly good record. There's elements of free jazz, folk and psych rock in here, but melded beautifully. Well worth checking out here.
