Rahmann

French One-Shot From 1977 Rahmann Plays In A Fairly Unique Style Mixing Fusion And Arabic Flavours With A Slight Zeuhl Feel Courtesy Of Explosive Bass Lines And Repetitive Rhythmic Patterns. Their Music Could Be Characterized As Jazz Fusion With Zeuhl-Associated Musicians Performing On It Didier Lockwood And Liza Deluxe Magma And Gerard Prevost Zao . The Central Point Of All Music Is Mahamad Hadi's Guitar Sound Heavily Influenced By Mahavishnu Orchestra. Another Musical Layers Are Bouzouki And Oud Sounds. The Mix Is Finished By Energetic Drumming Keyboards And Some North African Percussion. Whenever Pure Instrumental It Could Be Named As "instrumental Zeuhl" With Middle Eastern Influence What Isn't Strange Whenever Band's Leader Is Of Algerian Origin . This Is A Very Competently Produced Album With Very Clear Sound And Excellent Instrumental Performances. Recommended To Anyone Who Thinks A Cross Between Zeuhl A La Magma And Eastern-Tinged Fusion A La Mahavishnu Orchestra Sounds Like An Interesting Proposition.
