Side    B.      Unholy Elisabeth (Part 2)                       20:26

Eddie Prevost (percussion) and John Tilbury (piano), wizened masters of radical London
improv outfit AMM, mingle with the free jazz of Lebanon’s “A” Trio - that’s Mazen
Kerbaj (trumpet), Sharif Sehnaoui (acoustic guitar) and Raed Yassin (double bass).
You’d think that lot would make quite a racket, but the overall calm and restraint
going on much of the time is mesmerising. One time pressing.

        B2      Karkhana : Rock Farock (live)                   6:11

Karkhana, a highly explosive mostly Middle Eastern/Mediterranean ensemble-Sam Shalabi
(Land Of Kush, Shalabi Effect, Dwarfs Of East Agouza), Sharif Sehnaoui ("A" Trio),
Michael Zerang (Peter Brötzmann, Hamid Drake, Jaap Blonk, Vandermark, etc.), Mazen
Kerbaj ("A" Trio), Maurice Louca (Dwarfs Of East Agouza), Tony Elieh, Umut Caglar
(Konstrukt) -- is weaving a tapestry of sound for Egyptian songstress Nadah El
Shazly's voice to slide deep into. On the other side, two grand seigneurs of
underground, ex-Sun City Girls and Rangda guitar whirlwind Richard Bishop and
W. David Oliphant (Maybe Mental) play it loud. Far Eastern post-industrial.
Very heavy, sharp, and crystal clear. Ripe. Carte Blanche will be released as a
one-time pressing. It is released as a part of Unrock's Saraswati Series. Vinyl cut
by Peter Koerfer at Ivory Tower. Extra-heavy deluxe cover, printed cardboard insert.

Frenetic style-blending Cairo trio Dwarfs of East Agouza (Kharkhana’s Maurice Louca
and Sam Shalabi with Sun City Girls’ Alan Bishop) join the distinctive drums ’n’ guitar
ofd Chris Corsano and Bill Orcutt. A busy session - of gorgeous harmonies, glittering
ambiances, rippling rhythms and occasional eruptions - ensues.

        2       Sal3awa
        3       Containment

                Mazen Kerbaj - trumpet, electronics
                Maurice Louca - organ
                Tony Eleh - electric bass
                Umut Caglar - zurna, guembri, percussion

Bitter Balls, the second full-length from Karkhana, the group featuring members of
Dwarfs Of East Agouza, A "Trio", Konstrukt, Chicago Tentet, Land of Kush, among others.
It perfectly shows the ongoing incredible progression and artistic flow the group is
currently working under. Four new, fine-tuned compositions of crystal clear and deep,
dark, distorted unrock compositions -- electric and acoustic. The cross between old
school and contemporary oriental improve-prog. Ripe fruits of love and wisdom.
Mastered by Harris Newman, sleeve design by Mazen Kerbaj. One-time pressing.

        2.      Untitled
        3.      Untitled

Former Sun City Girls guitarist Richard Bishop joins forces with the band’s erstwhile
collaborator Ed Yazijian for a fascinating album, which sees occidental influences
mingling oriental ones over three untitled, long-form pieces. Sir Richard Bishop & Ed
Yazijian is a meeting of underground minds, and is another classic in the Saraswati
series.

UNRLP   023     MEPHISTO HALABI         THE ARABIC ROOM                 LP      02.2022
                (Note : LP , 300 copies)

Debut album from Julius Masri, under the name Mephisto Halabi, a tenacious drummer
who has played with members of the Sun Ra Arkestra. On 'The Arabic Room' he explores
how Orientalism has been turned inwards by some Arab people through music that blends
the ferocity of metal with the possibility of jazz.
