Richard Horowitz: Eros In Arabia Vinyl LP
Richard Horowitz' in-demandĀ debutĀ album finally repressed! Originally released in 1981 on Ethnotech RecordsĀ under the pseudonym Drahcir Ztiworoh,Ā Eros In Arabia captures transcendent, inter-dimensional experiments in sound on wax. TheĀ 8 track albumĀ fusesĀ ancient instruments, such as the ney cane flute and bendir frame drum, with Prophet-5 synthesizer and modern echo and delay effects to createĀ a profound other-worldly listening experience. Check the brilliant 20+ minute "Elephant Dance" for a taste, then get intoĀ the percussion-heavy title track, and theĀ trance-inducing "Bandit Nrah Master Of Rajasthan," an homage toĀ Shakuhachi flute players that is reminiscent of work by Geinoh Yamashirogumi.Ā All this coming from the composer of the Any Given Sunday soundtrack and founder of theĀ Gnaoua Festival in Mogador. A strange duality for sure, but this early work is certainly a uniqueĀ audibleĀ experienceĀ warranting repeat listens. This 2017 pressing on Freedom To Spend comes in pic sleeve featuring art from the original pressing and printed insert with liner notes by Brian Cullman. Recommended.
