{"product_id":"krystian-shek-al-qahirah","title":"Krystian Shek- Al-qahirah (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e2018 release. Krystian Shek released a number of superb and still underrated albums on Namlook's FAX imprint over the years; his first Carpe Sonum offering, 2014's Sometimes Not, was a bracing return to form, and al-Qahirah is the follow-up, and it's a dandy, a longform slice of far-flung ethnotronica that speaks within dub's mother tongue but jettisons the lockstep rhythmic underpinning. In so doing, Shek's augured quite a brilliant thing: digidub that is all languid pools of sound, froth, reverberation, and echo, plunging the listener into a vast abyssal chamber whose sounds mimic the detritus found in long-abandoned sensory deprivation tanks. Yet the whole experience is becalming, welcoming, and thoroughly non-isolationist: throughout the fifteen-minute excursion of the title track, we are treated to a rainbow coalition of thrillingly sculpted shimmers lighting up a desert night sky like some man-made aurora borealis. Shek's skill lies in his ability to showcase works of 'ambience' that are leagues removed from Eno's hoary old definition-this is a music of flares and fanfare, bursting with light, drunk on the absinthe of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroducing The Ney, Pt. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Name Is Khaled (Ambient Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInto The Hammam, Pt. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroducing The Ney, Pt. 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAl-Qa\u0026amp;#x304;hirah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInto The Hammam, Pt, 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaleha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Poem Of Antar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46985005531357,"sku":"708527180167","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3764713.jpg?v=1762928450","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/krystian-shek-al-qahirah","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
