I love everything about this track. The alternating solo vocals, the call/response interplay, the scratchy textures of the viola and voices, the complex heavy rhythms...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:20pm

The voice is mimicking the viola and vice versa. Same throaty timbre. They are like sisters.

Yeah, music is better, thanks. I got involved in some actual real honest work for a second and couldn't respond. Won't let it happen again.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:23pm
Gary:

Tim's note to me about this track: "The Fatna Bent el Houcine track is one of the greatest things ever. But it’s 21:40 in duration. Starts off in a slow 40-beat complicated, heavy rhythmic cycle, moves eventually into 19- and 10-beat sections, ending up in an ecstatic 6/8. It would be a shame to fade or edit it. This is Aita Hasbawiya, from the region of Asfi."

It is *totally* one of the greatest things ever

heh, well at least the stream plays ok if i'm not doing much else beside poking around in device manager! streaming video is the real problem. though i'm occasionally getting some weird psychedelic lag if i download a new driver. i'll manage, but i may not be chiming in too much. so let's just say it all sounds great right now if i don't turn up here much. ;)

I was gonna chime in with a requisite joke -- "Hey, when you gonna play Brand X's second album?" -- when a buddy of mine also listening raptly reports, "holy shit, this guy rides my bus sometimes!" Tim lives in our 'hood. (We know all about Back to School Night.)

This Noujoum el Haouz track has a different guitar sound - Not as slinky as Moulay Ahmed’s sound. I guess the absence of the flange effect.

Tim's site, Moroccan Tape Stash, is HW's equal in it's bottomless, boundless offerings of sonic wonder and generosity.

I wonder whether Moroccan copyright law--about which I know precisely nothing--prohibits copying or unauthorized publication even for research. Even if there's a fair use provision similar-ish to US law, wholesale copying of an entire work might risk being an infringement.
