Saddar Bazaar - The Conference of the Birds

THIS IS A LONG GONE ORIGIONAL PRESS ON THE UK DELERIUM LABEL FROM 1994

Cat No: DELEC LP 034 

Stick two psych-crazed kids from Bristol in the studio with with sitars, slide-guitar, tablas and all sorts of unpronounceable Indian instruments & Bob Pierce, ex of '60s freak beat legends The Mirror.

The result is a haunting hybrid of transcendental ragas and psyched-out slide guitar. No syrupy tea'n'crumpets English whimsy here, no shimmering digital trickery, just the droning narcotic detachment of the Spacemen 3, the dynamic overdriven fuzz slide of Ry Cooder circa Ceyleib People and some sublime electric sitar, Imagine Ry Cooder jamming in wth George Harrison's Wonderwall or the sitar ragas of Popol Vuh combined with Rustic Hinge or Cul De Sac? .

The combination of electric slide guitar, sitar, exotic percussion and sparse floating keyboards works sheer magic on tracks like "Arc of Ascent (parts 1 and 2)", "Kiff Riff" and "Freedom Rider". "Sukoon (Reflection)" is based upon a backwards tape of the original version plus some additional sitar. "Baraka" features a bit of didgeridoo and "Neelum Blue" is a subtle, melancholic Ry Cooder-type of instrumental. The best track in my opinion is the over 8 miutes long "Garden of Essence". It's a very intense piece that builds up to a whirling dervish kind of climax based on intertangled guitar and sitar chords. The melodic and mindlifting atmospheres of each composition turn "The Conference Of The Birds" into a real "trip to the Orient" ("All on the magic carpet. A relaxing psychedlic album. Heady, far-out, totally instrumental Very much recommended!
