Product Description

CD Description
Reuel "Raz" Mesinai is one of the few musicians working within the sub-genre of Middle Eastern ambience, a style virtually synonymous with the late Bryn Jones (Muslimgauze). Despite a similar musical milieu, the art of these two musicians could scarcely be more opposite. Jones was a politically aggressive Englishman whose obsession with Palestinian culture and fanatic defence of terrorism bordered on mania. Mesinai grew up at multicultural crossroads in both Israel and America. In the inner-city crucible, he devoured the urban rhythms of dub and hip-hop that now flourish in partnership with John Ward as Sub Dub. Friends in Palestinian refugee camps instructed him in the spiritual paths of Bendir drumming and Sufism. He learned the sad, sacred melodies of Jewish prayer in ultra-orthodox neighborhoods.
HERETIC chronicles the wanderings of a prodigal mystic, narrating not with words butwith traditional drums, glittering santur, keyboards, and calligraphic swaths of tremulous cello and violin. Mesinai infuses these sensuous fugues with yearning. His seductive Semitic rhapsodies fall upon the senses with all the mystery ofa Druze woman's silken veil and the allure of perfumed smoke from a Bedouin campfire. Call Badawi the anti-Muslimgauze,and treat the beautiful, dreamlike HERETIC as a balm for Jones' acrid distortion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Give peace a chance?, 26 Feb 2000
By zeytun@yahoo.com (London, England) - See all my reviews
This beautiful album featuring Israeli and Palestinian musicians will delight the soul of the orient lovers. These slow moving compositions based on Middle Eastern rhythms and tunes are definitely not common and deserve the eves dropping.
