{"product_id":"sand-enigma","title":"Sand Enigma","description":"\u003cp\u003eRenowned Montreal \/ Cairo composer Sam Shalabi returns with his exhilarating and utterly genre-bending big band Land Of Kush. The trenchantly-titled \u003ci\u003eSand Enigma\u003c\/i\u003e bristles with defiant exuberance, restless creative energy, and electrifying cross-cultural expression - the band's most accomplished, acute and accessible album to date (though don't expect 'easy listening' from this boundary-pushing hydra-headed entity). \u003ci\u003eSand Enigma\u003c\/i\u003e is a wildly diverse and hugely compelling tour de force of modern composition that pulses with emotion and experimentation, blending avant-garde, psychedelic, Middle Eastern, out-jazz, electronic, and improv \/ free music tropes to stunning effect. The 75-minute opus, brilliantly recorded by Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Jerusalem In My Heart, Matana Roberts) captures a band on fire, flowing through composed set-pieces, improvisational turns, harmolodic gestural and textural interplay, bursts of fervent groove, and fearless, feral experimentation. While the bounty of heavy-hitting instrumental players are too numerous to call out here, \u003ci\u003eSand Enigma\u003c\/i\u003e notably features two new Land Of Kush collaborators, both of them leading lights of Cairo's burgeoning avant-electronic scene: Nadah El Shazly and Maurice Louca. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Constellation","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50498585100619,"sku":"1076848","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50498586214731,"sku":"1076849","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/8c46559e-9138-4f94-9875-3e018b0a5ae8_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727750081","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/sand-enigma","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
