Al Basim - Revival flac album

REVIVAL is a unique sounding and all instrumental album that is primary based on progressive rock but includes a lot of BASIM's native Arabic sounds along with jazz-fusion and trippy even Krautish psychedelia. While many Western artists ranging from Agitation Free to Rahmann have tackled the Middle Eastern and progressive rock fusion from the European perspective, i can't think of one other example outside of AL BASIM who has delivered this equation from the opposite side of the coin.

The fabulous and very rare unique LP by AL BASIM : Irakian guitarist. This anthem was recorded in Denver Colorado in 1979, with David Reskin (flute), John Starrett (bass), Phil Carter (drums) and George Keith (sax). Around 500 copies in the whole world !!

In the 90s Al Basim relocated to France performing with The Gypsy Kings and recording a second album in 2006, 27 years after his striking and still largely obscured debut. This story also features a personal coda when I contacted Al Basim and told him how much I loved Revival. He send me a brief letter in return. Turned out the eyes on Revival were those of a kind and gentle man, grateful to hear his music, even after so many years, was being appreciated.

This album has an average beat per minute of BPM (slowest/fastest tempos:, BPM).

Privately issued in 1979, Al Basim’s sole LP Revival, is one of the most sought after artifacts released at the end of the psychedelic era. Original copies are impossibly rare, and command astonishing prices. Recorded shortly after Al Basim immigrated to the United States from Iraq, the album is a stunning blend of jazz, prog, new age, and the sounds and structures of the Middle East - an image of a broader musical culture which existed in the region before political realities unleashed their destructive force
