Crudely recorded yet often lively set of material from this Armenian ensemble. A mixture of late 70's prog fusion and Middle Eastern sounds is the general recipe, but the highpoints are when they get this Balkan/Zuehl/Disco thing going (if you can imagine that.) Case in point is "Dzamone (pt 2)", where muffled “earth bass” wiggles under a driving bass-beat/hi-hat, whilst an Old World canzonet rejoices the top layer, replete with sheer violin strokes, all of which succumb to a warm and fuzzy guitar meltdown at the climax.

“Ce quartet de musiciens armeniens se composait de Lorys Tildian (kermantcha - sorte de violon oriental) Stephan Akian (santour instrument proche de la cythare - et synthé), Frank Tildian (basse) et Richard Tanelian (batterie). Le groupe prodigue un rock progressif matiné des influences des airs traditionnels et des chants liturgiques armeniens. Il privilege une musique climatique alternant passages éthérés, oniriques et impressionistes soulignés par des vagues de synthés flottants et enveloppants, des choeurs aériens et graves, empreints de solennité avec les ponctuations d'une basse saturé et des séquences très rythmées, énergiques et mélodieuses. Le santour, aux sonorités cristallines et métalliques accentue les climats vaporeux de leur musique avec ces longues plages où choeurs, santeur et une basse grondante dérivient et se répondent sur une trame rythmique lancinante. Ce groupe se rapproche d'Asia Mineur en plus climatique, avec une tendance moins torturée et moins intense.”
