Side A. Unholy Elisabeth (Part 1) 20:34
Side B. Unholy Elisabeth (Part 2) 20:26
Eddie Prevost (percussion) and John Tilbury (piano), wizened masters of radical London
improv outfit AMM, mingle with the free jazz of Lebanon’s “A” Trio - that’s Mazen
Kerbaj (trumpet), Sharif Sehnaoui (acoustic guitar) and Raed Yassin (double bass).
You’d think that lot would make quite a racket, but the overall calm and restraint
going on much of the time is mesmerising. One time pressing.

Michael Zerang (Peter Brötzmann, Hamid Drake, Jaap Blonk, Vandermark, etc.), Mazen
Kerbaj ("A" Trio), Maurice Louca (Dwarfs Of East Agouza), Tony Elieh, Umut Caglar
(Konstrukt) -- is weaving a tapestry of sound for Egyptian songstress Nadah El
Shazly's voice to slide deep into. On the other side, two grand seigneurs of
underground, ex-Sun City Girls and Rangda guitar whirlwind Richard Bishop and
W. David Oliphant (Maybe Mental) play it loud. Far Eastern post-industrial.
Very heavy, sharp, and crystal clear. Ripe. Carte Blanche will be released as a
one-time pressing. It is released as a part of Unrock's Saraswati Series. Vinyl cut

1 Huli Huli
2 Sal3awa
3 Containment
4 Rock Farock
The ensemble: Sharif Sehnaoui - electric guitar
Sam Shalabi - electric guitar, oud
Michael Zerang - drums, percussion
Mazen Kerbaj - trumpet, electronics
Maurice Louca - organ
Tony Eleh - electric bass
Umut Caglar - zurna, guembri, percussion
Bitter Balls, the second full-length from Karkhana, the group featuring members of
Dwarfs Of East Agouza, A "Trio", Konstrukt, Chicago Tentet, Land of Kush, among others.
It perfectly shows the ongoing incredible progression and artistic flow the group is
currently working under. Four new, fine-tuned compositions of crystal clear and deep,
dark, distorted unrock compositions -- electric and acoustic. The cross between old
school and contemporary oriental improve-prog. Ripe fruits of love and wisdom.
Mastered by Harris Newman, sleeve design by Mazen Kerbaj. One-time pressing.

Former Sun City Girls guitarist Richard Bishop joins forces with the band’s erstwhile

mingling oriental ones over three untitled, long-form pieces. Sir Richard Bishop & Ed

series.

(Note : LP , 300 copies)
Debut album from Julius Masri, under the name Mephisto Halabi, a tenacious drummer
