WORLD: Middle East, WORLD: Judaica
Details:
What happens when psychedelic-rock minded producer Samuel Nelson fuses Arabic maqamaat, electronica, classic rock arrangements, conscious lyrics, and a lot of groove? You have to hear!
''Eden Mi Qedem/''Aden Min Qadeem (להקת עדן מקדם / عدن من قديم ) is a genre-defying world fusion band that is crossing musical and cultural boundaries that have never been crossed. Their self-titled debut album, which has been called "a masterpiece of spiritual ethnic rock," captures the listener from start to finish with melodic and exotic pieces, ranging from the highly danceable to the slow and mesmerizing. The beautiful sounds of qanoun, nay, and other classical middle-eastern instruments intermingle with wah-wah guitar and a classic-rock musical structure, while the Hebrew, Arabic, and English vocals sing original and traditional spiritual texts.

The Name:
The Jerusalem-based group, whose name in Hebrew and Arabic means "Ancient Eden " is a rare beacon of light from a troubled region. It unabashedly draws inspiration from the Hebrew Bible as well as the Muslim call to prayer, and shows the beauty that is possible when the Jewish and Arab cultures and faiths work in harmony.
Review:
"The album is a masterpiece of spiritual rock...Jangling strumming draws the listener into "Sof Davar" ("The Final Word") while muezzin-style chants pepper interludes on "Yedid Nefesh" ("Friend of the Soul"). Layers of hand percussion and computer-generated beats build and collapse, while some of Israel''s greatest players of exotic string instruments show off their chops. Nelson''s stunning vocals drench every track."
