terry hall & mushtaq - the hour of two lights - honest jons records - cd

Genre: Funk / Soul

Unique album of genre bending that fuses Arabic and Jewish musical forms, Asian and East European sounds, hip hop atmospherics, wild gipsy passions and slamming beats. It may have started as a Jerry Hall ( The Specials) solo album but things changed rapidly when Mushtaq (Fun-da-mental) came on board. Further featuring a Tunisian singer, a Syrian flutist, a blind Algerian rapper, a troupe of Polish gipsy refugees and a septuagenarian clarinetist. Oh, and Damon Albarn is also in there somewhere Again beautiful cover artwork. ( Review providsed by Honest Jon's)
