Just like the first installment, which focused on his early work, this is another compilation by 〈NASHAZPHONE〉! Originally born and developed as bar music in Algeria, raï later flourished thanks to people who fled to France to escape fundamentalist oppression and civil war, and has continued to evolve alongside the democratization of electronic music. This definitive collection covers the entire career of raï singer DRISSI EL-ABBASSI, It spans everything from his early works with raï legend AHMED ZERGUI to his later works, which make full use of drum machines and synthesizers. Featuring geometric vocals that blend traditional Arabic modes with the Hijaz maqam scale, paired with acid synth stabs and a multi-layered, spiraling psychedelic RAW sound. Already sold out in stores—awaiting a reissue! (Original Japanese text by Akie)
