If Man But Knew
CD (Item 469674) Island/Sunbeam (UK), Early 70s -- Condition: New Copy
Folksy, atmospheric work with plenty of Mid-Eastern touches -- the only album ever issued by The Habibiyya, and one of the oddest sets ever from early 70s Island Records! The album's got a very spare, dream-like sound -- one that was inspired by the group's visit to Morocco before the record, and carried off here in a blend of percussion, piano, organ, and flutes -- plus more exotic instrumentation like koto, shakuhachi, and mandola. The sound is often quite spacious -- stretching out on its own, almost organic accord -- and when vocals are included, they're often very low in the mix, echoing the sufi roots that inspired the group. Titles include "Mandola", "If Man But Knew", "Fana Fillah", "The Eye Witness", and "Koto Piece". CD also features 5 bonus tracks -- "Bird In God's Garden", "Peregrinations", "Procession Of The Gold Intoxicated", and "Another Ode". © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | |||||
