The Nasir al-Mulk mosque in Shiraz, Iran when the sun shines through. When I hear this, I imagine those colorful stained glass patterns projecting on the floor of Had incorporated sitar into their music, so it's nice to see Persian influences for a change (although the Indian influence shows So many times if Krautrock groups wanted toĮxplore Eastern styles, Indian seems to be the de facto style, many groups like Amon Duul II, Brainticket, Mythos and the likes So blown away by the santoor playing that I didn't care if it was unaccompanied. The only thing is I wished the santoor and sitar was more integrated with the synths, but I was Santoor kick in again with that Indo/Persian crossover style, then going back to synths, created in a nice spacy manner with EMS Tempel, Popol Vuh (that is, the early electronic era) mode, the kind of tripped out Krautrock we all come to love. The music is now in early Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Then droning synths from Ingo Werner,Īt first I thought I was hearing a didgeridoo (no didgeridoo was credited).
