Hamdi, Baligh "Modal Instrumental Pop of 1970s Egypt" 2LP

Essential compilation of Baligh Hamdi's instrumental music. First time reissue collecting rare recordings of impossible-to-find tracks from 1970s recordings. Beat driven Eastern-tinged jazz, theremin draped orchestral noir, tracks that feature searing guitar solos from none other than Omar Khorshid, and a selection of buzzing, sitar driven, Indo-Arabic tracks establishing a meeting of mid-east and eastern psychedelic exotica. Double-LP version comes in gatefold sleeve.
