Phauss - Alamut A Journey In Iran 1986

Review by Aarif Mushtaq

Alamut: A Journey In Iran 1986 is an experimental album by the German electronic musician Phauss. The album takes listeners on a sonic journey through Iran, with each track representing a different aspect of the country's culture and history.

The album begins with "Dawn Over Alamut," a haunting track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, listeners are taken on a journey through traditional Iranian music ("The Silk Road"), the sounds of Tehran ("Tehran Nights"), and the country's rich history ("Persepolis").

Phauss's use of electronic instrumentation and sampling gives the album a modern edge, while still paying homage to the traditional sounds of Iran. The album is a unique and immersive listening experience that showcases the beauty and complexity of Iranian culture.
