"Pleasure And Pain" is their fifth studio album and music critics already consider it as the best album of their career even from the very first listening during studio reports. The famous special guests that are present on this album witnessed all this. We're talking about: Bruno Kramm of Das Ich, Flegias of Necrodeath, Dhiloz of Ancient and members of Ensoph and Stormlord. The album contains 9 tracks and 2 bonus tracks: "Pleasure And Pain", remixed by Bruno Kramm (Das Ich), and "Mater Tenebrarum" (cover). "Never Again", "Rosa Mistero", "My Lullaby" and "Forever In Death" are only some examples of this fantastic album! Extraordinary vocal parts performed by Sonya who also wrote all the lyrics for "Pleasure And Pain". Excellent production and excellent musicians.

A musical box (or music box) is a 19th century automatic musical instrument that produces sounds by the use of a set of pins placed on a revolving cylinder or disc so as to strike the tuned teeth of a steel comb. They were developed from musical snuff boxes of the 18th century, and called carillons à musique. Some of the more complex boxes also have a tiny drum and small bells, in addition to the metal comb. Alec Templeton, an avid collector of music boxes, and a professional concert musician, once noted that the tone of a musical box is unlike that of any musical instrument (although it is best described as somewhere between the timbres of an mbira and a celesta).

Недавно скачал себе и, заслушав, не смог не поделиться с вами. Меня очень "зацепил" этот альбом. Стиль охарактеризовать затруднюсь, и официальные "World Music: Folk-Blues, Oriental Blues" вряд ли выражают суть этой музыки. Это какой-то "попсовый" блюз с арабскими мотивами. Вам непонятно? Мне тоже, но лучше сказать не могу. А вот порекомендовать (от всей души!) скачать и заслушать - могу. Что и делаю. Надеюсь, что вы тоже получите удовольствие.



No Blues is a unique project which explores the connections between two musical worlds, namely: Americana and Arabic music.
Compare it to a cup of warm Americana-tea with a particular Arabic blend what you taste is a new and exciting mix of roots music styles. Take a sip and you'll know exactly what we mean..this is 100% pure blend ARABICANA.
For this latest project by Production House Oost- Nederland (ON), Ad van Meurs (guitar), Haytham Safia (U'd, Arabic lute) and Anne-Maarten van Heuvelen (double bass) were invited; their assignment was to investigate a possible combination of folkblues and traditional Arabic music in a three- day session. Both folk-blues and the Arabic taqsim (the improvised interplay without a fixed rhythm) are exceptionally suited for storytelling; the former in a somewhat rawer way, the latter mostly lyrical and melodic.
