"There is, and has been, a prevailing orthodoxy permeating the Egyptian musical hierarchy that would render this spectacular piece as scandalous. But let us remember that over the past 100 years, Said Darwish, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, Halim El Dabh, Ahmad Adaweya, and the modern Mahraganat movement have all experienced their fair share of scandal and opposition. Music must always be pushed forward – it may not always succeed as revelatory, but in this particular case, it does. Much like the venerable magic carpet, the Handover slowly builds to escort you into its swirling, ascending expression of the psychedelic, eventually descending, step by step, back to earth, landing as a wondrous spaceship with wide open doors inviting us inside for repeat listening. Perhaps this should have been happening in Egyptian music 50 years ago but it's here right now, and that's what matters.

We are often asked an impossible question to answer: "What constitutes a Sublime Frequencies release?" For the moment, we can point to this record as the answer to that question."

Did Eskelin and Keith appear in the same show for a conscious reason? Just coincidence?

I'm just tuning in.

Not really, just two old faves I thought I'd pull out once more. They seem to go together in my mind.

I love Eskelin, even managed to see him at W. Hollywood's Luna Park club many years ago. I know little of his pop's music, but the concept is great!

When I was in law school I envisioned a regular congregation of school mates during which we would listen to various musical works, mostly classical. I only managed on occasion, when we listened to all of the Nonesuch recording of Improvement. I got a kick out of watching future attorneys responding quizzically to the opera.

The Recedents clearly inspired Konk Pack. Engineered by Olaf Rupp, nice.

I liked Stereophonic-it's a bit long, but much drama. I hadn't read aboutit before hand, but within minutes it's obvious that Fleetwood Mac is the template for the band in the show. It's not really a musical-it's a play that happens to be about musicians recording an album in a studio, so some music is played, but often fragments, vocals without the instruments for later overdubbing. From what I understand, only the drummer was actually a musician-the rest learned on the job. A band with 2 couple, that fight, break up, a controlling guitar player, it was interesting. Captured what endless studio time, personal and musical clashes feels like.

Wigmore Hall, one of the great musical venues of the world. I heard a performance there in 1984 by Richard Harvey with Monica Huggett. He had been the leader of Gryphon, but he decided to devote his career to early music.
