LP - Black Vinyl Reissue, Compilation
This compilation captures the vibrant underground music scene of Iran during the 1960s and 70s, a time when Persian rock, beat, and psychedelic sounds flourished despite political turbulence. The album brings together a rare selection of tracks from bands and artists who blended traditional Iranian influences with Western garage rock, psych, and funk.
Featuring female drummer & singer Zangoleah with some killer garage / rockin' tracks, obscure bands like Takkhalha doing a fab cover of the Stones 'Play With Fire' and an amazing take on the Persian traditional song 'Mastom, Mastom', Golden Ring-styled beat by Big Boys, exotic Persian beat by Saeed and Tigers, terrific garage-beat by Ojubeha and the two sides of the Kambiz 45, probably the major discovery from Iran in the recent years and one of the few, if not the only truly Persian prog/psych 45s ever recorded.
