MINASSIAN, HAMLET - ARMENIAN POP MUSIC
LP (12"/10" Album)
Label: NUMERO GROUP
Release date: 24/09/2019
Barcode: 0825764180412
Catalog no.: NUM0000804
Item ID: 483064
A winsome and dizzying spin on disco pop, recorded in westernized Iran during the last moments before the 1979 revolution. All but criminalized in the wake of Ayatollah Khomeni's theocratic repression, Hamlet Minassian's solo masterpiece is a testament to the Middle East's forgotten dance music culture. This six-song, 44-minute LP hybridizes Euro attitude and Armenian traditional songs to create long, hypnotic proto-house, seemingly beamed in from another dimension.

Phish fans may recognize this previously ... read more » |
