Raks! Raks! Persia's 60's -LP- (IR,1970s,pub.2009)****' Special around this reissue compilation of Iran beat&garage.. 70 min with extra off-record singles ; guest : M.Coumans. Review : http://psychemusic.org/PERSIAreviews.html#anchor_67 * Caltex Mehrpouya : Ghayeghran (IR,197?-198?)****° Tr.8, “Nemiyayam” 6 min Tr.11,“Adama” 5 min Tr.12,“Eshareh” 6 min Tr.5, “Doe Pajereh” 6 min 22 92 One of the outstanding, original musical masters. From Persian chachacha with orchestration over a rather Indian flavour, while playing sitar as well, to more progressive rock. Mehrpouya has a beautiful deep melancholic voice.

Kourosh Yaghmaie : Sib e Noghree (Silvery Apple )(IR,1994)**°°° Tr.6, 30 min 146 After 17 years having forbidden to make/perform/release music this ishis first work. This grand orchestrated (with choir!) symphonic piece is just wonderful. A Persian sort of ‘Atom Heart Mother’ perhaps. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/sixties4.html#anchor_285 Extra tracks : * Desert Illusion : “Eastern Blues” 4 min * Farzad Golpayegani : “38” 7 min Two examples of the new scene of the younger generation.
