Summary: A hauntingly beautiful music CD inspired by the poetry of Forough Farrokhzad, one of Iran's most notable contemporary poets
Comment: Green Memories is a hauntingly beautiful music CD inspired by the poetry of Forough Farrokhzad, one of Iran's most notable contemporary poets, well known for her philosophical views of modern social and political issues. Featuring the dulcet vocals of Azam Ali, who sings beautifully in words that do not belong to any natural language, as well as the emotional violin of Keyavash Nourai, Green Memories blends both through the processing of the computer music instrument dubbed "Lila" by recording artist Shahrokh Yadegari. The result is a transcendent experience that calls for renewed awareness that humankind is not utterly divided from its environment, but is so deeply interconnected that treating all life and objects with respect is, ultimately, the same as showing respect to one's ancestors, comrades, and generations to come. A poignantly mellifluous album, highly recommended. The tracks are Vidya (9:30), Mithra (7:57), Maya (6:45), Samsara (6:17), Nirvana (5:17), Homa (6:43), and Mantra (5:33).

Summary: Virtuoso Ambient Experimental
Comment: This is not an Azam Ali album.
That being said-
I will admit, I first discovered Shahrokh Yadegari a few days ago after doing a search for Azam Ali. Seeing that the album was in "pre-order" I bought/downloaded "Migration" to get a feel for what the music was all about.
What you have here is a violin virtuoso making amazing experimental/ambient music. If you have heard of the likes of Dead Voices on Air or have enjoyed the minimalist soundtrack on movies like, say, Decasia, then you will LOVE this album. If you enjoy subtle music for listening or background you will like this album.
If you are looking at this because you are an Azam Ali fan please understand - this is not VAS, Niyaz, and as far from her solo work as you could get. She is a performer here - and you get her amazing voice in a context you have never herd before. Her voice is part of the composition - in a way, like Lisa Gerrard was with Dead Can Dance.
Either way - I really like this album and hope this helps.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Green Memories is a meditation on the global ecology and it is based on the poetry of the highly acclaimed Iranian poet Forough Farrokhzad. A mixture of the music of Iran, India, and electronic ambient, it features the exquisite and angelic voice of Azam Ali, the virtuosic violin performance of Keyavash Nourai, and the intricately complex compositions and electronics of the internationally acclaimed composer and computer musician Shahrokh Yadegari.
