Cosmo-Psychedelico-Mystery duo Guess What return with their 3rd album! After Yuri Gagarin and the imaginary Giallo films, it's now about Al-Khawarizmi, an astronomer from the 8th Century who invented Algebra and studied the Solar system.
The London/France-based duet explored Middle-Eastern harmonies and rhythms, staying true to their love for 60's and 70's grooves, yet introducing a new, more modern touch with a parcimonious use of drum sequences, samples and various synthesizers.
