{"product_id":"land-of-kush-sand-enigma","title":"Land of Kush- Sand Enigma","description":"\u003cp\u003eRenowned Montréal\/Cairo composer Sam Shalabi returns with his exhilarating and utterly genre-bending big band Land of Kush. The trenchantly-titled Sand Enigma bristles with defiant exuberance, restless creative energy, and electrifying cross-cultural expression - the band's most accomplished, acute and accessible album to date (though don't expect 'easy listening' from this boundary-pushing hydra-headed entity). Sand Enigma is a wildly diverse and hugely compelling tour de force of modern composition that pulses with emotion and experimentation, blending avant-garde, psychedelic, Middle Eastern, out-jazz, electronic, and improv\/free music tropes to stunning effect. The 75-minute opus, brilliantly recorded by Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Jerusalem In My Heart, Matana Roberts) captures a band on fire, flowing through composed set-pieces, improvisational turns, harmolodic gestural and textural interplay, bursts of fervent groove, and fearless, feral experimentation. While the bounty of heavy-hitting instrumental players are too numerous to call out here, Sand Enigma notably features two new Land of Kush collaborators, both of them leading lights of Cairo's burgeoning avant-electronic scene: Nadah El Shazly and Maurice Louca. As Alan Bishop of Sublime Frequencies raves: \"Shalabi raises the bar for modern psychedelic music with Land of Kush, weaving a seamless montage of styles in a transcendent way that is rarely, if ever, achieved.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Domyat 1331\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Safe Space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Broken Maqams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sand Enigma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ssssss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Recuerdo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bone Mass I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bone Mass II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bone Mass III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Trema\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e  ","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58393122079045,"sku":"6.67E+11","price":5.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/8583\/8405\/files\/3726159-2480061.jpg?v=1782536179","url":"https:\/\/terravduk.com\/products\/land-of-kush-sand-enigma","provider":"TERRA VANGUARD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
