about

The previous three artists whose work was revisited by Bill Laswell are Miles Davis, Bob Marley and Carlos Santana... we were therefore both honored & thrilled when the mighty Bill (whose credentials as a producer include names such as Laurie Anderson, Afrika Bambaataa, George Clinton, Yoko Ono, and most recently Herbie Hancock) accepted to create a new interpretation of Iranian diva Sussan Deyhim's "Madman Of God" album. The result is magnificent and provides a continuous, 45 minutes listening experience which includes re-arranged versions of all the album's songs, featuring new performances by musicians incl. Karsh Kale, renowned Indian tabla player Zakir Hussain and others, on top of the original album's line-up (Reggie Workman, Glen Velez, Reza Derakhshani etc). "Madman Of God", which came out in 2000, is Sussan Deyhim's uniquely personal reading of divine love poems by Rumi, Saadi and other Persian Sufi masters, set to a mixture of traditional Persian music and delicate electronics, her extraordinary vocals being the central focus.

All well written and performed songs here, with Memories featuring a young Whitney Houston as the standout. The Mars Volta do a respectable cover of this track. BeagleBay
