Album Notes & Community Reviews

Inspired by the specific meter of ancient Arabic poetry and the rhythmic gait of camels traversing the desert, 'Rajaz' represents a striking late-career resurgence for the progressive rock veterans. The compositions are deeply melodic and patient, leaning heavily on intricate acoustic guitar work and sprawling, evocative flute passages.
