    A dizzying spin on disco pop, recorded in Iran during last moments before the 1979 revolution. Hamlet Minassian’s solo masterpiece is a testament to the Middle East’s forgotten dance music culture. This six-song, 44-minute LP hybridises a 'Euro' attitude with traditional Armenian songwriting creating hypnotic disco/proto-house music, seemingly beamed in from another dimension. Features a killer riff on the Italo-disco classic 'Margherita' by Massara (here as 'Al Elnim') and more - essential!
