Editorial Reviews
Product Description
RAHMANN released only one eponymous album in 1979, but what an album ! The French band played a sort of precursor to ethnic Progressive jazz-rock, mixing jazz and Arabian music. The complex and thoughtful music, written by guitar player Mahamad HADI (Today MAD SHEER KHAN), is energetic, well-composed and full of rhythmic changes. The sounds of the ney flute and other Near Eastern instruments (Oud, electric sitar, saz, darbouka…) brilliantly top off music close to that of MAGMA and BRAND X, featuring fiery guitar, sinewy keyboards and Gérard PREVOST's bass. It mixes the best jazz-rock (Such as THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA) with Near Eastern music to produce a totally original style that can't be compared to anyone else. The CD includes four bonus tracks, as well as guest appearances by Didier LOCKWOOD, Lisa DELUXE, and so on… Possibly the best reissue of 1998, simply magnificent !
