Including elements of out-there guitar jams, spiritual jazz, kosmiche-soaked rock and Middle Eastern ambience, this is truly a record to live with. Head of Label, Oz Adams explains why this record is so special: 'Every now and again you come across music that feels like you've opened a door to a room you've never been into before. 'Revival' is unique; a kaleidoscopic amalgamation of Arabic, U.S \u0026amp; European influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth reflective and deeply soulful, the songs sound like hymns beamed in from a better world.' 'Revival' documents Baghdad-born musician \u003cstrong\u003eBasim Al-Hashimi's\u003c\/strong\u003e once-in-a-lifetime trip to the U.S in 1978, where his concoction of Arabic styles with the Western '60s and '70s rock so beloved of his youth came together to produce a record almost impossible to categorize. Led by his melodic guitar playing, the band move from psychedelic excursions through to meditative ambient sections, jazz-inflected grooves and joyful, progressive motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLicensed directly from \u003cstrong\u003eBasim Al Hashimi \u003c\/strong\u003ehimself, this reissue package includes an interview with the man himself, outlining his journey towards the creation of both his U.S experience and the masterpiece it produced, as well as photos sourced from his personal archive. Despite several attempts, 'Revival' has never been reissued before, so \u003cstrong\u003eDifferent Strokes For Different Folks\u003c\/strong\u003e are delighted to release this milestone once again, available in both black and marbled vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1.
