Robert Rich - Seven Veils(1998)-FLAC

Ripped in Sound-juicer on Ubuntu.

Simply the most dynamically recorded album I have ever heard.

You know when they say that music can take you away, well, this actually can.

You'll be swatting at things because they seem to be buzzing your face.

This album was engineered to test the limits of audiophilia.

It can damage your speakers if you play it too loud since the subharmonic bass is as low as 5 Hz.

Robert Rich is a master alchemist at weaving exotic ethnic sounds onto an ambient electronic background tapestry. On Seven Veils, Rich takes from the Middle East desert tones that speak of slender minarets, ancient landscapes, and the wealth of forgotten nations buried in the fertile crescent. Adding to the richness of this offering, these melodies are not as often sampled as they are played on live instrumentation. Indeed, the instruments of diverse cultures are brought to bear on incarnating these pseudo-Arabic stylings. Guitar, played hauntingly and sparsely, as a flavoring instrument, is prominent. Rich himself plays the lap steel guitar throughout the album, and avant-garde journeyman experimental guitarist David Torn is present on two tracks. The melody is actually most often rising from Rich's bamboo and PVC flutes. Their warm resonance and the human sound of respiring they bring goes far to make this a warm and intimate recording. Subtle but diverse percussion is enhanced with rubber band marimba and dulcimer in setting a foundation for these tracks.
